Our Commitment to Nonviolence
Saugatuck Douglas Area Indivisible (SDAI) is a peaceful, nonviolent group working for positive change. We strictly prohibit weapons, violent language, or threats at any of our events, rallies, or gatherings.
We coordinate with local law enforcement and obtain necessary permits to ensure our events are safe, lawful, and respectful—for our supporters, the public, and any counter-protesters.
We ask all participants to act peacefully and lawfully at all times.
Disclaimer
SDAI only takes responsibility for events we organize. When we share information about events hosted by other groups, it is for awareness—not endorsement. The organizing group is solely responsible for those events.

One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism
Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities.

GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON: Saugatuck
This event is sponsored by Good Trouble Indivisible Saugatuck-Douglas Uniting West Michigan.
Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.

GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON: Holland

Postcards to Swing States
Writing postcards to voters is easy, it’s effective, and it’s a good way to calm your anxiety about all the chaos and corruption in politics. It’s also a meaningful and pleasant thing to do while sitting around a table with neighbors and friends. In our last campaign, we wrote 1,250 postcards in 10 days. For these next campaigns, we have more time, and rather than just making a good showing, there’s a very good chance that we will win many of the targeted races!

Lineup is at the Saugatuck High School between 10-10:20 am. The parade starts at 11am.

Save Our Rural Hospitals Rally - Flat River
Help Save Our Rural Hospitals – We Need You at the Rally!
We’re teaming up with Indivisible groups across the region to fight back against the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” — what we’re calling the Reverse Robin Hood Bill — which would slash Medicaid funding in Michigan.
These cuts threaten to shut down rural hospitals, lay off healthcare workers, and leave thousands of families without access to care. Our healthcare system is already stretched thin — this bill would break it.
