Help us avoid a default! Friend,
Join us tonight for a "MAGA Default on America" phonebank with special guest Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and our very own Ezra Levin at 5:30pm ET!
The biggest legislative fight of the year that no one was talking about has now taken the center stage; pundits, politicians, and voters are all talking about the potential for a default after Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen announced that a default could happen as soon as next week.
Hear from Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Ezra Levin about just how crucial this fight is to the global economy and the American people. House Republicans are attempting to take the country hostage to push their extreme agenda. We must push back against this extremist agenda and we cannot let Democrats fold.
Luckily Indivisibles are already prepared!
We have been working for months to make sure we would be ready for this fight, and Indivisibles all across the country have been activating to make their voices heard. We cannot afford to fall victim to MAGA hostage-taking. They want to slash jobs for over 100,000 K-12 teachers and cut healthcare to seniors and disabled children while we simply want our country to do what it has always done -- pay our debts.
House Democrats have introduced a new tactic to get around Kevin McCarthy’s MAGA obstructionism -- The discharge petition.
The discharge petition would allow Democrats to bring a clean increase to the floor without going through the Speaker, but we need every Democrat plus 5 Republicans to sign on to achieve the votes necessary.
That means we need to target the Unrepresentatives -- Republicans who currently represent districts won by Biden in 2020. Those Unrepresentatives have the most to lose if MAGA extremists force us to default. Their constituents were pragmatic enough to know that Biden was the only choice in the 2020 election; they will understand that each of those Republicans had a chance to pull us back from the edge and chose loyalty to party extremists over the needs of the American people. If they let us default, we will vote them out.
Join us for a phonebank into Unrepresentative districts with special guest Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and our very own Ezra Levin tonight at 5:30pm ET!
Default day could be as early as next Thursday. That is just 8 days away. We have a tiny window to act in order to protect the American people. That means protecting teachers. That means protecting seniors. That means protecting our children. RSVP to phonebank tonight with AOC to do your part!
In solidarity, Indivisible Team
