Indivisible

Indivisibles,

On Saturday night, with just hours to spare, Congress passed a bill funding the government through November 17. The days since have been consumed by more MAGA mayhem as the far-right tries to oust their own speaker.¹

In the midst of all the chaos, you might have missed the moments when all 18 Unrepresentatives (vulnerable Republicans serving in Biden-won districts) voted to gut social programs by billions of dollars -- and six voted to rollback abortion access nationwide.

Each and every one of them voted for a true MAGA wishlist of heinous policies designed to hurt the most vulnerable among us:

Reinstating Trump’s inhumane border policies
Cuts to education funding equivalent to removing 150,000 teachers
250,000 kids losing access to Head Start
30% cut to food assistance for women, infants and children
74% cut to energy assistance leaving millions of low income families without heat this winter
Cuts to Meals on Wheels impacting over a million seniors

The Unrepresentatives turned their backs on their moderate voters to appease Matt Gaetz and other MAGA whackadoodles. And they did it for nothing -- the bills failed. Hours later Democrats kept the government funded with a bipartisan bill which was clearly the only path forward from the start.

We have to make sure there’s a political price to pay for selling out your constituents, and we have to pressure vulnerable Republicans to stick to the original bipartisan funding deal they agreed to months ago. In a second, we’re going to tell you how we can get both of these things done. But if you’re already pissed off and ready to help our organizers hold the Republican Party accountable, please rush a donation so we can get to work >>

The Unrepresentatives like to tell their constituents that they're “bipartisan,” "moderate," "common sense" politicians who just care about getting things done. But when it came down to something as basic as funding the government, they would rather give far-right Republicans whatever they wanted than vote alongside Democrats.

The first step to holding Republicans accountable is making sure their constituents know just how extreme their voting record is. That’s why we’re mobilizing Indivisibles across the Unrepresentative districts to show up to rallies and protests at fundraisers and district offices. We’re also running a peer-to-peer texting program so Indivisibles can reach out to their fellow constituents and tell them about the billion dollar cuts and anti-abortion measures their Unrepresentative voted for.

This grassroots accountability work will help us defeat these members next fall, but it also goes hand in hand with our efforts to stave off the next potential shutdown on November 17. We have to make sure Unrepresentatives understand their constituents won’t tolerate any more placating of MAGA Republicans who aren’t even interested in governing. The only viable path forward is to work with Democrats to pass funding bills at the level the Republicans already agreed to months ago.

This kind of massive pressure campaign takes resources, so we’re counting on grassroots supporters to help fund this work. The next shutdown deadline is just over a month away, so if you’re able to, click here to pitch in so we can get to work as soon as possible >>

With your help, we’ll avert a shutdown next month, defeat the Unrepresentatives next year, and restore a trifecta actually capable of governing.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

[1] If you’re following the news, you probably know Matt Gaetz submitted a Motion to Vacate to depose McCarthy (You can read more about that process here). To be clear, our focus is on keeping the government funded for the long term and putting an end to this chaos by flipping the House in 2024. It's not our responsibility to save Republicans from themselves.
