Make your call, stop the catastrophe Indivisibles,
As we mobilize nationwide for the MAGA Default Crisis Week of Action -- from California to Virginia, New York to Oregon, North Carolina to Minnesota -- the urgency to act is growing exponentially. The Treasury Department projects that we’ll only be able to pay the US government's bills through June 1 without a debt limit increase. That means we’re only nine days away from default -- and the worldwide economic catastrophe it would create.
There’s still a way to stop the crisis: House Democrats have introduced a Discharge Petition, which is an escape hatch to bring a clean default prevention bill to the House floor, even if Kevin McCarthy tries to block it. But in order to work, 218 Members of Congress must sign on and refuse to negotiate on cuts that will hurt our communities.
This is it, Indivisibles. We need your help right now to make this our biggest one-day call-in action ever -- join in by texting the word DEFAULT to the number 59798, or just click here to fill out your information, and we’ll connect you automatically.
We know we’ve been asking you to contact your representatives a lot. That is because it is, outside of earned media, one of the most impactful ways to push our elected officials to act -- and with the deadline for default looming, we must use every tactic at our disposal to demand action.
Today, we are asking folks all across the country to make sure to contact their representatives. The more calls we can drive on one day, the more we can really show a groundswell of attention on the MAGA Default Crisis.
If you have a Democratic representative, urge them to stand with President Biden, support the Discharge Petition, and do everything they can to line up the 218 representatives needed to sign on and refuse to negotiate on cuts that will hurt our communities.
And if you have a Republican representative, demand that they end the hostage-taking and the cruel cuts to public schools, Medicaid, veterans’ benefits, and other life-saving programs that our communities rely on, and instead do the bare minimum of paying the government’s bills.
This is our biggest push yet to drive as many calls as we can to every single representative. Don’t wait – click here to make your call now. Then forward this email to friends and family today to invite them to join in.
In solidarity, Indivisible Team
