Indivisibles,

On Saturday, President Biden signed a bill averting a national default.
This work has been a central part of Indivisible’s focus in 2023, and it
is the work of Indivisibles all across the country that allowed us to keep
Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other vital programs safe moving
forward. 

[ [link removed] ]Check out Ezra’s beautiful and detailed breakdown of the current state
of play, our work to prevent the MAGA Default Crisis, and our impact on
the fight over on Medium.

For a quick preview of Ezra’s explainer:

* We made it through alive, but not unscathed,
* Inside-outside organizing was essential,
* Finally, calling MAGA’s bluffs and fighting back works.

The default crisis, and MAGA House extremists’ focus on slashing the
budget at the expense of the American people, has been a preview of the
upcoming budget fight this fall. Strap in. There is more to come and we
will be ready for the fight. 

In the meantime…

June will likely be a big month for rulings from the Supreme Court
(SCOTUS). We saw SCOTUS severely limit the EPA’s authority to protect
wetlands in May (here’s our tweet thread on [ [link removed] ]Sackett v. EPA) and support
an employer’s ability to sue unions last week ([ [link removed] ]Glacier Northwest v.
Teamsters), but we are awaiting rulings on critical issues like
race-conscious admissions processes, a business’ ability to refuse service
to LGBTQ+ customers, and extreme partisan redistricting in North
Carolina. 

We already know that this extremist court is going to continue handing
down horrific decisions, and few of us have much, if any, faith left after
they gutted Roe -- [ [link removed] ]trust in SCOTUS is at an all-time low. Now is the
time to make our representatives act. 

We must restore legitimacy to the Supreme Court.
It is important for our rights today. 
It is vital for the health of our country (and the world) for years to
come. 

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Your weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Contact your senator and demand they cosponsor the Judiciary Act of
2023. SCOTUS is stacked with justices handpicked by MAGA Republicans
and dark money groups, and it is running out of control. This court
has too much power to be ignored, and if we want our government and
its policies to reflect the will of our beautifully diverse country,
we must restore SCOTUS to a place of legitimacy. Senators Markey and
Smith have reintroduced the Judiciary Act of 2023 to add four justices
to the bench and undo decades of conservative court-packing. Call your
senator and make sure they are signed on today. 
 2. When you’re done calling your senator, [ [link removed] ]call your representative and
demand they cosponsor the Judiciary Act of 2023. The MAGA-packed court
has gutted the Voting Rights Act, attacked workers’ rights, chipped
away at environmental protections, struck down gun safety laws, and
perhaps worst of all, overturned Roe v. Wade. We must do everything
that we can to unrig the Republican court. [ [link removed] ]Check here to see if
your representative has signed on as a cosponsor; if not, call them
today!

P.S. We count on the small dollar donors to help fund this movement! If
you're able, [ [link removed] ]please pitch in today to support the grassroots organizing
that powers our progressive wins.

[9]WE LOVE TO SEE IT!

***In the 2023 Indivisible Guide, one of the most important things we
wanted to see was our representatives show up as fighters! We need
representatives that work for the people, not just their bank accounts
and special interests! So, why not highlight those fighters? We Love To
See It! will highlight the work being done by reps fighting for everyday
people’s well being, advancing democracy, and/or protecting personal
freedoms. Let’s stand up for our representatives when they stand up for
us! We Love To See It!***

Rep. Katherine Clark, MA-05

[ [link removed] ]Image of Katherine Clark addressing House Republicans. Tweet reads: I
don't know how House Republicans are going to look our veterans in the eye
this Memorial Day.

In the waning hours of the MAGA Default Crisis fight when we were still
unsure if Republicans would drive us to a disastrous default, Minority
Whip Katherine Clark delivered this scathing rebuke of Republican
obstructionism and hypocrisy as House Republicans set out to celebrate our
deceased troops over Memorial Day weekend while actively attempting to
strip protections for our living veterans. [ [link removed] ]Watch the full clip here!

 

**Bonus Points: If you see your rep showing up as a fighter and want to
highlight them, reply to this email with a link to the story and we
might feature it in our next Newsletter.**

Follow us on [ [link removed] ]Facebook, [ [link removed] ]Twitter, and [ [link removed] ]Instagram to keep up on
the latest information, and text “INDIVISIBLE” to 59798 to opt-in to our
text messaging program where we send rapid response actions a few times a
month.

The MAGA Default Crisis has been averted and we have a little time before
the budget battle begins in earnest, now’s the time to make sure your
representatives are paying attention to SCOTUS. Supreme Court decisions
leave lasting legacies for generations and we cannot afford to let this
rigged court continue to strip away our rights. 

Contact your representatives today!

In solidarity,
