About
The Freedom Truck 2026 (developed by PragerU, a right-wing media organization) is coming to Suffield this Friday - Sunday. We will be protesting this whitewashed, white Christian-centric take on America’s history in shifts on the sidewalk next to the truck's location for the hours that the exhibit is open. Feel free to come when you can and stay as long as you want. It will help our planning if you sign up for the shift(s) that best fit your plans. We are hoping to have at least one person with safety and deescalation training to be peacekeepers for each shift. Please email/message us if you can help. According to an article in The Guardian, "Ahead of the US’s 250th birthday, the president has launched six mobile museums that celebrate a white, Christian rewriting of the nation’s story." It is funded by $14 million of our taxpayer money, along with donations from unspecified private donors. The article further states, "As for the Freedom Trucks, Democratic Congress members have demanded to know which private donors are bankrolling the exercise, complaining that the $14m in federal funds allocated to them amounts to 'Christian nationalism on the taxpayer dime'. (The Trump administration has insisted it is duty-bound to keep donors anonymous.) What is likely to be most enduring – and most controversial – about the roadshow is its dominant tone in representing America as a God-given force for freedom led by Judeo-Christian white men." The truck/event has signs saying that it is "Powered by PragerU." According to the Guardian article, "PragerU is part rightwing education non-profit, part media outlet. It is not a university, despite the “U”. Over the past 15 years it has quietly grown into a prolific video publisher, with more than 30 million unique viewers drawn to its YouTube channel each quarter. Founded by a conservative talkshow host, Dennis Prager, the bulk of its content is directed unambiguously at young Americans. The mission: to bring a message of aggressive capitalism and Judeo-Christian nationalism – what it calls “wholesome, patriotic education” – into American kids’ lives. It is certainly succeeding. PragerU’s classroom materials have been approved by a dozen states for use in public schools, Arizona among them. Trump contracted out the non-profit to curate his roadshow. In turn, PragerU drew on the advice of Hillsdale College, a pioneer in revisionist history seen through a Christian lens, whose president, Dr Larry Arnn, chaired Trump’s 1776 Commission." 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 and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
