About this listen
Host Jackie speaks with Rebecca Elliott, admin of Indivisible San Jose, about No Kings 2 in St. James Park. Rebecca explains the goal of building community, the evidence that 3.5% participation can shift outcomes, and how long-running efforts, such as Project 2025, fit into the current moment. She details real impacts already appearing, including cuts to SNAP, pressure on Medicare and the ACA, and why Santa Clara County’s Measure A funding matters for keeping county hospitals open.
She previews the San Jose event plan: a noon start, a march to City Hall and back, light-rail guidance, a Gandhi peace team on site, and options for people who won’t march. She outlines mutual aid collections for unhoused neighbors and other ways to act from home, like calling Congress and joining a local chapter. She also tees up voices expected at the mic, including the People’s Working Party, labor, the ACLU, and immigration lawyer Mani Jalali. Listeners receive the basics to show up prepared, stay safe, and connect with Indivisible San Jose through the website and email newsletter.
