Not Neutral

In January of 2025, it became clear that specific groups of marginalized people were being targeted by the new administration. Most notably, immigrants and trans persons were seeing their rights and due processes stripped away by policies that dehumanize and threaten the lives of people in our communities. 

Not Neutral is a response to the marginalization and oppression that we are seeing. We’ve created a nimble group that can rally around causes and opportunities in a timely manner. On a weekly (sometimes daily) basis, we update people with important information and potential calls to action. 

The calls to action can be an encouragement to protest, an opportunity to reach out to a lawmaker (federal, state, and local), a way to tangibly support a non-profit that provides resources to a marginalized community, and other forms of advocacy and learning.

Not Neutral does not endorse a political party or any particular candidates. Not Neutral does not directly oppose a political party or any particular elected official. Our intent is to provide support for those being particularly targeted by unjust and inhumane policies, and to advocate for policy changes that bring equity and opportunity for all – not just a wealthy and privileged few. 

In each email we end with a Closing Note: “These are all IDEAS. As a diverse group of people, even if we all agree that things need to be done to help the most vulnerable, we won’t always agree on what the best measures are. We all need to think critically about what to do and what we have capacity to do. The goal isn’t conformity or uniformity, the goal is community and transformation. We aren’t going to be neutral, but we don’t have to be exactly the same either. Let’s keep coming up with ideas – staying informed and learning how to take action.”
