Your weekly to-dos
Your weekly to-dos
- Join our Hands Off Our Vote: Election Protection 101 virtual training next Wednesday, August 19 to learn how to mobilize to defend voting rights and ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot (8pm ET/5pm PT). No matter where you live or how much experience you have, you can have a national impact on election protection. In this working training, we’ll cover FAQs and help you think through your current actions as well as how to prepare for further activations this fall. More than 30,000 Indivisibles have already joined Hands Off Our Vote, and we hope you’ll be next! (If you’re ready to dive into election protection work right now, check out our toolkit for actions you and your community can take today.)
- Join our Immigrant Justice Summer call next Thursday, August 20 to learn how to get your community trained up and ready to demand accountability and ensure protection before an ICE surge hits (8pm ET/5pm PT). When ICE shows up in our neighborhoods, it’s crucial that we have a grounded system to channel people, training, and resources in the right direction. Without a plan in place, energy scatters and well-intentioned neighbors sometimes create structures parallel to the immigrant-led response already in progress. This call guides you on the training necessary to build a link tree, an online tool that acts as your community’s front door so neighbors can easily find the information they need to show up in an immigrant-aligned, hyper-local, and safe response.
- Now that the House and Senate are both on August recess, schedule an in-district office visit or plan an event in your community using our Indivisible recess resources. While the August recess should be a time for our Members of Congress to host town halls and meet with constituents, they too often use that time to avoid scrutiny. If you have Republican MoCs, take some time this month to voice your opposition to the SAVE America Act (Trump’s repulsive voter suppression bill), more funding for ICE and CBP, and Trump’s demand for billions to fuel his illegal war with Iran. If you have Democratic MoCs, continue to raise the alarm about Trump’s authoritarianism and demand they not give an inch to the GOP when Congress returns in full after Labor Day.
- Peggy Flanagan’s Minnesota Senate primary is TOMORROW! Join our phone bank TONIGHT at 6:30pm ET/5:30pm CT/3:30pm PT to make calls to Minnesotans before they head to the polls. We’ll be joined by Indivisible’s co-executive director Ezra Levin! Flanagan is in a tight race against Angie Craig — yet another establishment Dem who shamefully voted to thank ICE for their service. Craig has a huge cash advantage from corporate PACs and crypto, but we have people power. Right now, every single call counts to help get Flanagan across the finish line so Minnesotans can be represented by a true progressive fighter. Paid for by Indivisible Action. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee.
P.S. We’re ecstatic about last week’s primary wins for Indivisible-endorsed candidates: Abdul El-Sayed (MI-Sen), Donavan McKinney (MI-13), William Lawrence (MI-07), and Justin J. Pearson (TN-09). Before we turn all eyes toward November 3, we’re organizing hard to win two final primaries with Indivisible-endorsed candidates who will stand up to fascism and build a bolder Democratic Party. If you can, please chip in today to help us bring Peggy Flanagan (MN-Sen) and Patrick Roath (MA-08) across the finish line and launch our general election program in a strong position!
