Complacency is the biggest headwind we face. Make a commitment and decide what you can do instead of complaining! We Are The Power signing is Tue 10/6, 6pm, Book Passage Corte Madera w/ Brian Copeland: garylucks.com/events-workshops East Bay Indivisible group: indivisible-raeb.org

Standing at UC Berkeley, birthplace of the free speech movement. Our constitutional rights are in jeopardy, and the only way we protect them is by winning this election cycle: vote early, volunteer, and protect the vote. It's up to you and me. Get involved: indivisibleraeb.org/voting

Gary Lucks @glucks.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I'll be signing We Are The Power Sept 23, 6-7:30pm at Sausalito Books by the Bay, joined by Darrell Steinberg. We've got seven and a half weeks until the midterms: trade complaining for commitment. Time, money, action. Let's build the blue tsunami and take back our democracy.

020

Gary Lucks @glucks.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I keep coming back to one question: Beyond voting, what can ordinary citizens actually do to make a difference? I’ll be at Sausalito Books by the Bay Sept. 23 with Darrell Steinberg to talk about democracy, citizen action, and the power we have when we choose to use it. 6–7:30 PM. Join us!

Gary Lucks @glucks.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Nobody is coming to save us. It's up to us to get out and vote this midterm, fight hard, and win back our country from the hands of nefarious leaders. Nobody is going to save us but us. Music by Lonnie Lazar: on.soundcloud.com/P1tia6nKgDFD... Grab my book! Scan the QR code at the end of this vid

Vicki Gonzalez and I talked grassroots power on CapRadio's Insight (NPR Network): civic duty, an activist toolkit, pacing your organizing across the 2-year election cycle, and better volunteer mobilization. My book We Are the Power is out now. www.capradio.org/news/insight...

Gary Lucks @glucks.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

My whole life I’ve believed in this precious democracy. 250 years, and I know what people suffered under monarchies before it. Voting isn’t enough anymore. Turn anger into action: doors, calls, poll work, one honest conversation. It’s up to us.

011

Gary Lucks @glucks.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

There is no cavalry coming to save us, we are the cavalry. Turn your fear into action and commit an hour a week before the midterms, whether that hour goes toward getting the vote out or protecting our immigrant neighbors. We have the power. What will your hour be? #Midterms2026 #GOTV

Gary Lucks @glucks.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

The mid-term election is going to be contested. If you’re a lawyer or a paralegal, we need you protecting the vote. Even if that’s not your field, take election day off and show up to help out. It matters for the health of our midterms. Full podcast episode here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Gary Lucks @glucks.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

90 million people didn’t vote in 2024, more than voted for either presidential candidate. 24 House races were decided by under 6,000 votes. Turning out occasional voters this November matters. Join an Indivisible group and help knock doors, call, or write postcards to turn out the vote this November

Trump is pressuring Fed Gov Lisa Cook and Sen. Adam Schiff with false mortgage fraud claims. It is pure distraction. He was convicted on 34 felonies and civil fraud, yet accuses others of what he was found guilty of. #Hypocrisy #Democracy #youarenotalonebook #standuptotrump

Trump-backed Republicans in Texas want to redraw maps mid-decade to gain 5 more House seats. No election, just manipulation. Blue states are responding. Eyes open. Voices loud. We are the cavalry. #VotingRights #FairMaps #TXpolitics #WeAreTheCavalry #youarenotalonebook #stoptrump #defenddemocracy

The reconciliation bill passed by a slim margin, but the 2026 budget still needs 60 Senate votes. They don’t have them. If Democrats hold firm, we can block ICE funding increases and ACA cuts. A continuing resolution would keep the 2025 budget in place. Hope is still alive. #ProtectOurCare #Hope

Medicaid and food stamps are lifelines, but endless reporting traps people in cycles of fear and failure. Miss one update, lose everything. These systems punish the poor for being poor. We need safety nets, not snares. #Medicaid #SNAP #PovertyTrap #SystemicFailure #youarenotalonebook

Gary Lucks @glucks.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

We lost the vote in the House today for the unspeakable bill. Tomorrow is July 4th, a day that marks freedom from authoritarian rule, how ironic. This fight isn’t over. Real patriotism means showing up for justice and for each other. Stay strong! #DefendDemocracy #OBBB #YouAreNotAlone

Gary Lucks @glucks.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

The Senate just passed a brutal bill that slashes Medicaid and gives tax breaks to the rich. It’s headed to the House. We need vulnerable Republicans to stand up to Trump and stop it. Share this. Call your reps. #YouAreNotAlone #StopTheCuts #ProtectMedicaid

P3: Moreover, 4 of those justices were confirmed by a US Senate representing a minority of the US population.

Gary Lucks @glucks.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

P2: 5 of those justices were nominated by a president who lost the popular vote while justices Barrett and Gorsuch are illegitimate justices whose positions on the bench resulted from unfair, political maneuvers, hypocritically engineered by Mitch McConnell.

Gary Lucks @glucks.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

Illegitimate, Extreme Court: Today’s Supreme Court, ruling, limiting nationwide injunctions against a lawless president undermines fidelity to our constitution and separation of powers. 5 of those justices were nominated by a president who lost the popular vote.
