We're just weeks into Trump's second presidency, and already he and his minions have made drastic changes in the federal government that violate the Constitution, multiple laws, and may be defying the courts. Yes, dozens of lawsuits have been filed but they may be too late and may not be enforceable. The damage may be permanent.
In addition, the richest man in the world, billionaire Elon Musk - who holds no elected or congressionally approved office - has seized control of key federal systems and is using them to promote the "broligarch" agenda.
Project 2025's Blueprint for Trump II is well on its way to full implementation and there's more to come. A barrage of "Executive Orders," most of which violate the law, many of which are barely coherent, and some of which still aren't public, flooded the executive branch on Day One and continues.
There are reasons to be hopeful.
As Josh Marshall has written, given that Republicans will control the entire apparatus of federal government until 2026 at least, "this is fundamentally a battle over public opinion." Lower Cape Indivisible is well equipped for this battle, both for the present day and in the all-important lead up to the 2026 midterms.

In the years since its founding, LCI has come to focus a good part of its energy on electoral politics - elections. Lower Cape Indivisible was founded in response to an election - the 2016 election of Donald Trump - so the electoral focus feels natural. It's also the case that the Cape hosts a number of organizations that are effective promoters of LCI's values - Cape Cod Climate Change, Cape Downwinders, Grandmothers Against Gun Violence, and so on - that concentrate on various strategies and particular goals. LCI's strategies to promote its vision and values in the political arena have grown to include the following:
Publication of an online newsletter that focuses on national and local developments relevant to promoting our values.
Sponsoring and publicizing rallies, marches, and other public actions that support issues and candidates aligned with our values.
Organizing Get Out The Vote (GOTV) campaigns through writing postcards to voters urging them to exercise their precious right to vote. LCI is proud to have sent 55,000 postcards and letters to voters encouraging them to register and vote. We foresee many many more in the months to come.
Barring some unforeseen, dramatic development, it's likely that the political scene in general and LCI's efforts in particular will be fairly low-key during this coming summer of 2023. However, we anticipate that energy and activity will ramp up quickly in the Fall as candidates and issues campaigns prepare for the critical 2024 presidential election. Please check our newsletter for an overview of what is happening and consult the relevant section(s) of the website for current activities.
This section is divided into three parts:
Current efforts to Get Out the Vote (GOTV) for candidates around the United States whose election this year will promote LCI values.
A brief summary of how this effort developed and what it has accomplished.
A description of LCI's role in the "Blue Wave" that swept the Cape in the 2022 elections.

Minnesotans are coming together in moral reflection and action to stand together against the actions of the federal government against the state of Minnesota. The ICE "surge" thatcost the life of Renee Nicole Good is violating the Constitutional and human rights of Americans and our neighbors.
Lower Cape Indivisible will stand out in solidarity with Minnesotans on Friday, January 23 - Join us!!!
ICE agents/thugs are spreading across the country, ostensibly to identify,
detain and deport serious criminals who are in the country illegally. But in fact
they:
1) conduct their raids with their faces hidden and no identifying information
2) do not present warrants or any legal authorization to proceed
3) have been observed pulling apparently random people out of their cars or
off the sidewalks or standing in line to complete requirements for obtaining
citizenship and detaining them
4) target people with brown or black skin (thank you Justice Kavanaugh)
and/or who are not speaking English
5) block Congressional oversight and bar visits to detention sites (built by
Trump buddies) where we can't see what's happening but word leaks out.
Deaths, for example: 32 last year and 6 this year, less than one month into
2026
All to fulfill a self-imposed deportation quota 3000 arrests/day, 1 million+/year.
Few ICE detainees are criminals: independent analyses of ICE and detention
data find that roughly three quarters of people held in ICE detention in late 2025
had no criminal convictions and that only a small share-about 5%-had violent
convictions.
In Renee Good's killing there are videos, so we can watch her smiling at ICE
agent Jon Ross as she tries to back away from him. Ross then shoots her in the
face 3, maybe 4 times then mutters "fucking bitch." Trump/MAGA report,
however, that the terrorist Renee Good rammed and injured Ross, who then shot
in self-defense. DOJ has subpoenaed the Mayor of Minneapolis, the Governor of
Minnesota, and the widow of Renee Good while quietly exonerating the man who
actually shot her.
These ICE/CBP thugs are well on their way to becoming Trump's private army,
like the Brownshirts were to Hitler, while Trump World tells us that what we saw
with our eyes and heard with our ears isn't what happened. In Orwell's 1984, our
contrary perceptions are called thoughtcrimes: thinking in ways not approved by
the ruling party. The Party in 1984 controls the speech, actions, and thoughts of
the citizens and can punish their thought crimes. Are we next?

A practical guide to resisting the MAGA agenda. Former congressional staffers reveal best practices for making Congress listen.
Lower Cape Indivisible (LCI) is an organization whose members have elected to participate based on the organization's mission: to mobilize for social, economic and environmental justice; promote universal participation in the democratic process; resist agendas that subvert American democratic values. We are one of more than 6000 Indivisible groups in the U.S. committed to resisting the Republican agenda, as well as holding our state and local leaders accountable for fair and ethical action. Our work is based on the Indivisible Guide, created by former congressional staffers who wanted to demystify political activism, and share what tactics were most effective.
