Weekly To-Dos
Your weekly to-dos
- Join our Immigrant Justice Summer call happening THIS Thursday, August 6 to learn rapid response strategies for mobilizing when an ICE surge hits your community (8pm ET/5pm PT). After a surge of ICE brutality in July, now is the moment to learn how to create a safe, immigrant-aligned response plan. Join this week’s call to explore the components and roles of a rapid response activation. Hear from organizers building rapid response against a detention center in Hagerstown, MD, and the mutual aid network Rochester, MN, built in the wake of Operation Metro Surge. (If you missed the first two trainings, no worries — you can watch both on YouTube and download the Immigrant Justice Summer workbook to get a headstart.)
- If you have a Democratic US senator, call them to demand they oppose the CLARITY Act, the toothless and inadequate “crypto regulation” bill that would continue to enable Trump to amass massive wealth from crypto corruption. It’s possible that the Senate will try to vote on the CLARITY Act before leaving for August recess on Friday — faux crypto regulation legislation that would let Trump build on his $1.4 billion profit from the industry in 2025. This bill doesn’t protect consumers, doesn’t close money laundering loopholes, and doesn’t stop Trump’s crypto bribery machine. 78 House Dems voted to pass it last year — we can’t let the Senate force it through before recess.
- Sign up for Hands Off Our Vote, our national program to protect the midterm elections. Last week, the Senate confirmed election-denier Jay Clayton to serve as Director of National Intelligence. Trump has another lapdog to carry out the dirty work of election interference, but we’re countering their chaos with robust preparation to block election subversion in all 50 states. (If you’re ready to jump in headfirst, check out our Election Protection 101 and 201 trainings later this month and our toolkit to get involved no matter where you live right now.)
- With just six days left until his primary, phonebank this Thursday for Indivisible-endorsed candidate Jarrett Keohokalole, running in Hawaii’s First District (9pm ET/6pm PT/3pm HST). Keohokalole is a leading voice for constitutional rights, running against a MAGA-friendly Democratic incumbent in a deep blue district. Working families in HI-01 could be represented by a true progressive fighter in Congress — but we need to dial up the people power in this race to fuel Keohokalole across the finish line. Paid for by Indivisible Action. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee.
P.S. With six Indivisible-endorsed candidates competing in primaries in the next eight days and the general election just around the corner, we have a LOT of organizing to do. Every donation fuels our work to build a bold Democratic Party filled with leaders who fight, not fold, when faced with authoritarian threats. If you’re able, please chip in today to help us get a head start on August fundraising and build the momentum we need to power us through the next three months.
