Indivisibles,
Last week, we asked you a very important question: Do you support
Indivisible National's recommendation to endorse President Joe Biden for
reelection?
Your response was resounding: With 97.2% of respondents voting in favor,
we are excited to announce that Indivisibles have overwhelmingly voted to
endorse President Joe Biden’s campaign for reelection.
[ [link removed] ]Gif with a check mark reads: Indivisible votes to endorse President Joe
Biden
At 97.2%, Indivisibles voted to endorse by an even higher margin than our
presidential endorsement vote for Biden in 2020 (95%), showing that we
understand the seriousness of this upcoming election, the incredible
accomplishments Joe Biden and his administration have achieved in this
term, and the opportunities ahead if we can elect a strong, progressive,
Democratic party in the 2024 cycle.
Some of the Biden administration’s biggest accomplishments:
* Leading the nation through the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic and
dramatically cutting child poverty by passing the [ [link removed] ]American Rescue
Plan
* Shepherding in the [ [link removed] ]lowest unemployment rate in 50 years and
boosting wages for millions of workers
* Passing the biggest climate investment in our nation’s history in the
[ [link removed] ]Inflation Reduction Act
* Finally allowing [ [link removed] ]Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug
prices for seniors
* [ [link removed] ]Confirming Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court in a
historic first, along with justices across the federal judiciary at an
[ [link removed] ]unprecedented rate
* Brokering the [ [link removed] ]Bipartisan Infrastructure Law across party lines to
pass long-overdue investments in the country’s roads, bridges, public
transit, airports, water systems, and access to high-speed internet
* Securing a [ [link removed] ]generational investment in American manufacturing and
innovation through the CHIPS and Science Act
* [ [link removed] ]Working behind the scenes to get rail union workers a fair
agreement for paid sick leave
* Passing the first meaningful [ [link removed] ]gun safety legislation in 30 years
* [ [link removed] ]Expanding our national monuments and establishing the [ [link removed] ]Baaj
Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni Grand Canyon National Monument to protect sacred
land for future generations
* Fighting to [ [link removed] ]reduce the burden of student debt, even in the face of
historic opposition from the MAGA Supreme Court
* And lastly, getting Republicans [ [link removed] ]on the record [ [link removed] ]taking credit
[ [link removed] ]for his achievements [ [link removed] ]that they voted against [ [link removed] ]time after
time
Biden’s first term began with a trifecta and the mandate of the people to
bring stability and a people-first administration to the White House.
However, we soon learned -- due to the maneuverings of Senators Manchin
and Sinema -- that our trifecta wasn’t a true, durable majority. Despite
the obstruction caused by these senators and their moneyed interests, the
Biden administration still managed all of these incredible achievements,
and we are ready to send them back to the White House for more.
Why is this endorsement important?
It appears Democrats are on a collision course with Trump’s MAGA machine
all over again in 2024. Despite facing four indictments, Trump still sits
firmly at the top of the potential GOP nominee list (in fact, seemingly
because of his indictments, he has [ [link removed] ]gained ground among Republicans).
And Kevin McCarthy is laying the groundwork to return to Congress next
week and launch a brazenly political impeachment investigation into the
president to distract the public and tarnish Biden heading into an
election year. Democrats need grassroots support to power another
resounding rebuke of MAGA extremists.
Coalescing behind Biden is the first key to creating the kind of unified
Democratic front we will need to win true majorities. We are not looking
to win the White House again and be stuck in the same positions with
special-interest senators blocking our progress (see: Manchin, Sinema) or
a divided Congress. We need to win back the House, vote a true majority
into the Senate, and hold the White House so that we can push an empowered
trifecta to codify abortion rights, balance the court, ban assault
weapons, and create the inclusive and fair democracy we dream of for all.
This endorsement is our first step to get there.
And if you’re ready to put everything you’ve got into reelecting President
Biden and securing real majorities in Congress, here are our next steps:
* If you have a Democratic representative, [ [link removed] ]RSVP for our Making a
Majority Blue Districts Cohort Call TONIGHT, September 5 at 8pm ET/5pm
PT. This call will be an opportunity to learn about our strategies to
win in blue districts in 2024. Specifically, we’ll be highlighting our
[ [link removed] ]Reproductive Freedom Agenda and talking about how we can set
ourselves up to enshrine federal protections after the next election.
* If you have a Republican representative, [ [link removed] ]RSVP for the Our States,
Our Fates Red Districts call this Thursday, September 7 at 8pm ET/5pm
PT. Come join your fellow Indivisibles from red districts in talking
about the war on education, the MAGA threat to school boards, and how
we can undermine the hold of MAGA extremists on red districts.
* [ [link removed] ]Join your local Indivisible Group. If you’ve been waiting to join
a group or maybe fell off after we kicked Trump out of the White House
in 2020, now is the time to connect! Building people power today will
allow local groups to scale up their plans for 2024. If you’re already
part of a local group, make sure you are planning for the 2024
election cycle now! Next year’s election is already upon us -- let’s
prepare ourselves!
We are getting started early this cycle because the threat of Trump is
once again so clear, and we don’t have time to waste. This endorsement is
the first step in bringing the left together to defeat Trump (again),
codify abortion rights, balance the court, create a fair economy, and
direct the country to a green future.
Thank you for being Indivisibles. Thank you for believing in our movement
and the power of your fellow Indivisibles. Most of all, thank you for
always being ready to do the work to defend our democracy and create a
fairer and more inclusive country. We couldn’t do this without you.
In solidarity,
