Puppets, quilts, Free Press resistance ... there's a lot going on in Nonviolence News this week. There's also a lot going on in my life, so the format is short 'n sweet. As always, there's a link to all 87 stories of #nonviolence in action that we found this week. nonviolencenews.org/2026/09/26/s...

Recent media actions are making me think a certain chapter in Winds of Change. Faced with a narcissistic politician, the people decide to ignore him en masse, stifling his hate speech, and deplatforming him from the media cycle. They win, of course. Books here: store.riverasun.com/collections/...

On Sunday, Sept. 20, an ICE agent shot and wounded 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in North Austin while he was working a DoorDash delivery. Within hours, hundreds of protesters were at the scene. Here's what happened and what we still don't know.

Hey! It's #NationalVoterRegistrationDay 1. Register to vote. 2. If you're already registered, check that you're still registered to vote after all the mucking-around the Trump administration has been doing. 3. Put a reminder on your calendar to check your registration AGAIN in a week or two.

A massive immigration operation is happening in Memphis. It’s been underway for just under a year now—hundreds of arrests, streets filled with officers. But most people have never heard of it. Why? It’s harder to record ICE in Tennessee than it is in many states.

motherjones.com

Memphis has spent a year under federal occupation. ICE would rather you didn't notice.

Watch as these officers arrest an activist for documenting from a reasonable distance.

This isn't a "vote and everything gets better" post. It's not that simple, and pretending it is does nobody any favors. But there's a real opening for change this November, and it's worth understanding why the other side is so scared of us. #vote #midterms #elections #trump
