Your weekly to-dos

1. Join a virtual phone bank on May 15 to call North Carolina voters about opposing the GOP reconciliation plan! Senator Thom Tillis will be one of the nation’s most vulnerable Republicans in the 2026 midterms, so we’re urging NC voters to turn the temperature up on Tillis as we fight Trump’s Tax Scam. The virtual phone bank is open to volunteers nationwide via Scale To Win and includes training for those who need it.
2. Email your Members of Congress about bringing Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. If Trump is allowed to openly defy a court order, no rights are safe. We’re demanding that leaders in both parties use every tool at their disposal to ensure Abrego Garcia is freed and returned to America.
3. If you have a GOP representative, send an email to get them on the record about plans to defund SNAP and Medicaid. Republicans don’t want us talking about Trump’s reconciliation plan because they know it screws working people to pay for billionaires’ tax breaks. We need to get them on the record and hold them accountable. You can also click here to CALL their office during business hours.
4. Join this Thursday’s “What’s the Plan” call (3pm ET / 12pm PT) to hear about a MASSIVE new day of action coming in June. Each Thursday, our co-founders Leah and Ezra jump online to break down the news, draw inspiration from Indivisibles’ work, and lay out what’s next for the movement. This week, they’ll have big news about our next big mobilization.
5. Extra Credit: Think about signing up for Indivisible Truth Bridage! JOIN US: Sign up for the Truth Brigade New Member Orientation and Message Campaign Launch on Wednesday, May 14, at 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT. Truth Brigade’s virtual meetings are open to anyone ready to fight online lies — from brand new members to longtime Brigadiers! The Truth Brigade is Indivisible’s answer to the lies. We’re leading a grassroots approach to combating disinformation and, on May 14, launching a new campaign, “When Lies Make Laws,” to expose their tactics and highlight the stakes for our society
