Volunteer with the Santa Cruz County Democratic Party.
There is ALWAYS something to do.
It could be as easy as printing & stapling or tabling at an event. Being the photographer, or petition signature gatherer. You might want to be a vote center observer, a canvasser, or a community organizer. English or Spanish. Your skills will help keep Santa Cruz County BLUE!
Rush Hour Resistance Rally began with a clear idea: neighbors, gathering peacefully and regularly on busy nearby streets, could remind our communities that democracy is essential and that silence is unacceptable. Over the last year, RhRR expanded from a handful of participants to multiple locations across the Valley, reaching thousands of pedestrians and motorists each week. This momentum is significant, as is the duty it brings.
🗳️ As we approach the midterm elections, our united mission is to safeguard free and fair elections and promote civic participation, particularly in local and primary races where every vote carries weight. Our weekly rallies are more than outlets for frustration; they are consistent, visible commitments that normalize voting and democratic engagement as neighborly expectations.
🕊️ RhRR is a peaceful, nonconfrontational movement. Our goal is to reach the broader community, not to confront those seeking conflict. When tensions surface, we withdraw, stay composed, and look out for one another. This discipline keeps our rallies inviting and helps newcomers feel secure joining us.
🫂 Most of all, RhRR is about people caring for one another while standing up for the future of our democracy. Every person who shows up, every sign held, and every conversation sparked on a street corner is part of something larger and deeply hopeful.
Here’s what’s in store for our Tuesday morning event in the Los Olivos neighborhood:
🕥 The event starts at 7:30 am. You are free to show up anytime, but we recommend arriving a few minutes early to introduce yourself. Some of us get together at Einstein Bros at 7:00 am to socialize. We end promptly at 8:30 am.
🅿️ There’s plenty of parking in the Safeway lot on the NW corner. We haven’t had issues before, but parking enforcement is unpredictable. If concerned, check with others.
🚦🚶➡️ Some people stand on a corner of the intersection. Others walk the crosswalks when the lights change. You do you!
🖌️ One of RhRR’s strengths is that people feel free to express themselves. Ideally, your signs would help articulate any of our three pillars:
-
Defending democracy and the rule of law
-
Encouraging voting
-
Protecting neighbors and communities (e.g., immigrants, LGBTQIA+ people, workers, and veterans)
This approach keeps signs aligned with RhRR’s purpose, while preserving personal expression and emotional authenticity.
🇺🇳 Flags, banners, and even inflatable costumes are welcome. Some blow lots of bubbles. While our mission is serious, humor and camaraderie matter.
😷 RhRRs are peaceful, public events. Most attendees don’t hide their faces, though some do; participate at your comfort level. Photos and videos are common on social media, but you can ask posters to remove accidental appearances.
Thanks in advance for joining us. See you on the streets! ✊
Basically, I stand and walk with my protest/informational signs of resistance to fascism and to stand for rule of law each day the court is open. Also, I try to greet the employees and court visitors (such as potential jurors) as they are arriving. Sometimes we need to be available often and close enough that people can ask questions. I have been doing this for 46 weeks on a daily basis whenever the court is open. Some good conversations have occurred because by now the court employees are used to me and know me and we do reach people one on one. I would love to have you join me one day or every day. I never know when there’s going to be a large jury pool but it’s always good to have another person or two during those days because it’s hard to cover where the employees start their walk to the building and where the jurors are waiting to go in.
This a local Indivisible event!
Here is where you’ll describe your local event. Please be specific about important details and include anything a first time attendee, or new group member, might find helpful!
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Apr 6th (our 60th consecutive week of protest!) will be a special event focused on No War!, paired with Stop ICE, No Prison camps in AZ, and Stop ICE and CBP at airports.
- Have signs asking our electeds to focus on healthcare, jobs, education, SNAP benefits, etc, instead of warfare. Rein in ICE. Due Process for ALL detained people. DHS/ICE/CBP must meet law enforcement standards. Stop paramilitary tactics.
- Bring non-perishable food, personal care (toothpaste, toothbrushes), and/or household items (paper towels, toilet paper) to help our neighbors in need. To date, this food drive – sponsored by MoveOn – has donated 3 tons of food to the Scottsdale Foodbank.
- Bring a letter or a postcard message to drop off at Schweikert’s office
- The building and parking lot are on private property. Building management has asked us from time to time not to park in their parking lot. so you may want to take advantage of street parking or park in Kohl’s parking lot 1/2 block east on Raintree Rd.
We plan to peacefully continue our demand for Schweikert to do his job every Monday through the November election.
