Friends and esteemed Troublemakers! In Fall 2023, we (a group of direct action organizers) decided that Seattle area polluters have gotten far too comfortable–and that it's high time for us to cause some good trouble for business as usual.
We've created a vibrant and growing community of people who want to actively resist the ecological destruction of this planet, and the sacrifice of so many lives for the short-term gain of the few. The Troublemakers community commits to taking action together, to radically taking care of each other, and to enjoying life while we do both. Your contribution will be used to grow and support this new community.
We are raising funds for social gatherings, trainers, web/database/admin fees and for material needed to support our community taking action. Can you give a monthly donation or a one-time donation to make this vision a reality?
OH SHIT

Congressional Staffers Occupied Sen. Chuck Schumer’s Office in Climate Protest
Capitol police reportedly arrested six of the protestors within an hour of the demonstration.
By Lauren Leffer Published July 25, 2022 |
The call for climate action is coming from the inside the House. More than a dozen congressional staffers occupied the Washington D.C. office of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer today, in a protest demanding that Congress pass policy to combat climate change. Less than an hour after the demonstration began, Capitol police arrived and arrested many of the staffers, according to a series of tweets and photos from New Yorker journalist, Andrew Marantz.
In an emailed statement to Gizmodo, U.S. Capitol Police said the following:
Around 11:15 a.m., U.S. Capitol Police officers responded to a demonstration that was inside room 322 in the Hart Senate Office Building. Six demonstrators were arrested for DC Code §22-3302 Unlawful Entry for failing to leave the office after they were told to leave. The six people who were arrested are all House staffers.
Capitol Police further detailed the names of those arrested. The six staffers arrested are as follows:
Saul Levin, who is a policy advisor for Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.)
Aria Kovalovich, who is a staffer for for Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) on the Oversight & Reform Committee
Rajiv Sicora, who is a policy advisor for Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.)
Courtney Koelbel, who is a staffer for Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on the Oversight & Reform Committee
Philip Bennett, who is a staffer for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.)
Emma Preston, who is a legislative assistant, also for Rep. Khanna
While making their stand in Schumer’s office, the protestors held up signs and banners saying things like “Keep negotiating , Chuck!,” “Climate Policy Now,” “our farms are flooding,” and simply “TRY.” They also sang a rendition of the union song “Solidarity Forever,” as captured in one video. (Note: some congressional staffers are in the middle of a push for unionization.)
“We, staffers of the US Congress, are peacefully sitting in on Senator Schumer’s office to demand Dems pass climate justice policy this year,” wrote Levin in a tweet prior to the police arriving. Levin also posted a photo of him and another staffer seated and masked in Schumer’s office
We’re asking Senator Schumer to negotiate like this is the coldest summer of the rest of our lives (it is),” he further tweeted. Multiple other aids who appeared to be involved in the protest also documented their time in Schumer’s office on Twitter, including Kovalovich. And while they staged their internal occupation, additional staffers demonstrated outside the U.S. Capitol Building and Hart Senate Office Building with their own signs and a megaphone.
The protest follows the Senate’s failure to move forward on climate policy earlier this month. Democratic lawmakers revived negotiations over the climate-focused remains of the “Build Back Better” plan, but Senator Joe Manchinonce again opted to stall proceedings, citing inflation as a reason to not increase spending. (Never mind the significant economic costs of continuing to not address climate change, which could tally in the trillions. In 2021 alone, climate change-related extreme weather events cost the U.S. at least $145 billion.)
In response, Biden pledged that he would take bold climate action, and there were renewed calls for an executive order declaring a climate emergency. Instead though, the President announced some more tepid measures like FEMA funding and possible future offshore wind in the Gulf of Mexico.
A representative from Senator Schumer’s office told Gizmodo they did not yet have any comment, but would “hopefully” be releasing a statement on the protest and arrests by the end of the day.
The political action by congressional staffers is one of the first of its kind. Generally, the people arrested for occupying congressional buildings and offices are not the aides that serve those offices. Although increasingly, lawmakers themselves seem to be among ranks of protestors, as in last Wednesday when 17 Democratic representatives were arrested while blocking a street leading to the Supreme Court building in a demonstration for abortion righ

The Disruption Projectis dedicated to supporting uprisings, resistance and mass direct action. Our belief is that when mass numbers of people stand up and take action against the unjust systems of racial capitalism, the heteropatriarchy, white supremacy and settler colonialism, we have the ability to force ruptures and dismantle these systems. In other countries we have seen uprisings nonviolently topple dictatorships and illegitimate governments. We know that courage and numbers can take us far, but we also need strategy, discipline, tactical acumen, and division of labor. With the mix of skills, thoughtfulness, courage and numbers of folks, we have a shot at real systems change.
Feel free to contribute to this site. Revolutionary people power gets us to a different society where: everyone has what they need to live and adequate leisure time. We can dismantle the systems that uphold structural racism and win reparations for Black folks, win some sort of repatriation of land to indigenous people, create an open US border and an end to imperialism, and a just transition out of a destructive economy. We think we are often told to compartmentalize demands, justice for one family, when we need to be looking at the wealthiest and most powerful people, financiers and corporations who profit from this system. Feel free to reach out at info@disruption-project.org and we’ll be in touch. Thank you for your courage. We know if you are reading this, you share our concern and principle that we do not support harm to other human beings in any way.
Finally, a note on the times in which we live. Some of us are in the streets or doing everything we can to support what is a true citizens rebellion. Others of us see this as an opportunity to win previously unwinnable victories that diminish the power of the prison and police complex. While we are inclined to think that emboldened mass action creates bolder mass action which begets a nonviolent overthrow of these systems, we have the utmost respect for those who are trying to win and consolidate structural reforms at this time. Think about your role and theory of change, but this is no time to be an armchair activist. Show up, however you can and then some. And please stay as safe as you can, the destruction of the pandemic is a mirror of the racist society in which we live.

Here are the five radical leftist groups protesting Elon Musk – one of which received $7.6M from George Soros
By Isabel Vincent
Published March 12, 2025, 5:41 p.m. ET
George Soros gave $7.6 million to one of five groups accused of targeting Elon Musk’s Tesla company, The Post has learned.
Tesla cars, Cybertrucks, dealerships and charging stations have been set on fire, shot at and sprayed with graffiti across the nation in acts of politically charged vandalism since Musk’s new Department of Government Efficiency started making government cuts.
While the motives behind individual attacks vary, Musk has identified certain groups who organized protests against him and his company.

“An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla ‘protests’: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America,” he said in a recent X post.
“We do not direct, coordinate, or dictate the strategies or activities of the organizations we support,” said a statement from the Open Society Foundations. “The Open Society Foundations support a broad range of nonprofit organizations that work to strengthen democracy and promote nonviolent civic engagement. Our grantees operate independently and are expected to do so in full adherence to U.S. law.”
ActBlue is a Democratic Party-affiliated fundraising platform, currently under fire for raising funds for anti-Israel terrorists.
Here’s how each of those groups have been involved in protesting against Tesla:
Indivisible Project
Indivisible Project, a Washington-based non-profit, has been almost entirely financed by Soros’s Open Society. It is coordinating a cross-country protest against Musk, empowering “grassroots” affiliates to “stop the Trump-Musk coup,” according to its website.
The group took in more than $7.6 million from Open Society between 2017 and 2023. It was originally set up in 2016 to protest the election of Donald Trump.
Indivisible Action, a related Political Action Committee, has raised more than $9 million, public records show.

Indivisible Action’s anti-Musk activities include posting a toolkit on its website for a “Musk or US March Recess” demonstration planned for next week during the government’s spring break.
The toolkit includes graphics for signs reading: “GTFO Musk” and “Fire Elon Musk.”
In addition to Soros, the group has received $2 million from the Sandler Foundation, which funds groups such as the progressive news platform ProPublica.
Herbert Sandler, a New York-born banker, set up the foundation with his wife Marion in 1991, and has given out more than $1.2 billion in grants to progressive nonprofits, according to its website.
After Sandler’s death in 2019, the married Congressional staffers who set up Indivisible Project thanked him for his support.
“For the last two years, we’ve counted ourselves as deeply fortunate to know Herb, and to benefit from his advice and guidance,” said Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg in a 2019 press release.
“He was always thinking about the next stage for Indivisible, asking hard questions that pushed us forward. We will miss him deeply.”

Democratic Socialists of America
Indivisible Project is also allied with Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which backed the campaigns of progressive Democrats such as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
DSA claims on its website it is the largest socialist organization in the United States, with over 92,000 members and chapters in all 50 states.
>Here are the five radical leftist groups protesting Elon Musk – one of which received $7.6M from George Soros
On March 6 the group posted on their Instagram: “Every Friday we are joining workers and community organizers at the Henry M. Jackson Federal building downtown Seattle to protest the fascist billionaire takeover of our democracy. See you Friday at 11:30.”
The group has also posted numerous videos of its members protesting outside Tesla buildings and made numerous anti-Musk posts on its various social media platforms.
The group has several chapters across the country. The New York City-based group, Democratic Socialists of America Inc., has revenue of more than $6.1 million, according to public filings. Some chapters across the country have supported Hamas after the terrorist group’s Oct. 7 2023 attacks against Israel, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

Disruption Project
Philadelphia-based Disruption Project provides training for grassroots groups to protest climate change and is currently in default with the IRS, according to public records.
Disruption Project, whose latest federal filing shows just over $28,000 in its coffers, is linked to Action Network, a group established as a result of the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York in 2011.
Action Network was founded by Mark Fleischman, a former union organizer who was vice president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), New York City’s most powerful union.
Action Network has helped Disruption Project and other grassroots group organize a “Tesla Takedown” last month, encouraging consumers to “sell your Teslas; Dump your stock.”
The joint Disruption Project/Action Network Action also listed the addresses of Tesla dealerships for protestors to target across the country on its website.

Rise & Resist
The New York-based Rise & Resist has also organized protests against Elon Musk, publishing a social media “toolkit” on its website linked to a “Tesla Takedown.” Like Disruption Project, Rise & Resist also appears to be in default with the IRS and shows less than $30,000 in revenue, public records shows. The group organized a recent picket of the Tesla dealership in the Meatpacking district where six protestors were arrested Saturday.
Rise & Resist describes itself as a non-violent “direct action group committed to opposing, disrupting, and defeating any government act that threatens democracy, equality, and our civil liberties,” according to its website.
Troublemakers
The Seattle-based radical environmental organization “committed to taking action for life on Earth.”
They collect donations through Action Network, and are committed to championing environmental issues, posting on their website: “We cannot stand aside while racial capitalism and neocolonialism destroy this beautiful planet, all for the benefit of a few.”
Troublemakers have also been involved in the “Tesla Takedown” events at Tesla dealerships – despite electric cars being better for the environment than ordinary gas powered ones.
On their website they urge people to dump Tesla stock and claim “Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk,” while urging “No one is coming to save us—not politicians.”
