Indivisibles,

According to a [ [link removed] ]NY Times/Siena poll released this weekend, Donald Trump
is leading Joe Biden in five out of the six battleground states heading
into the 2024 election.

[ [link removed] ]Times/Siena poll showing Biden behind in Nevada, Georgia, Arizona,
Michigan, and Pennsylvania and up 2 points in Wisconsin.

Though we wish six states didn’t hold so much power, those are the six
states that will likely decide the 2024 election.

Not only is Trump currently beating Biden on potential votes, he’s
regularly 10-20 points ahead on some of the current top issues to the
American people.

[ [link removed] ]Times/Sienna poll showing Biden's numbers losing to Trump on the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the economy, national security, and
immigration but winning on abortion and democracy.

While it’s easy to dismiss these results as a single poll, the Times/Siena
poll is a high-quality survey, and those numbers are roughly in line with
the trends we’ve been seeing in recent polling. 

We won’t sugarcoat it, this is bad. But it’s not time to panic -- it is
time to get to work. 

The good news about this poll is that it clearly shows which messages have
not yet landed with voters, giving us a clear picture of what needs to
happen between now and November 2024. We know that President Biden and
Democrats have a record we can run on. That includes: 

* Historic investments in climate and green energy infrastructure 
* Major wins for unions across the country -- resetting our expectations
of what workers deserve and undercutting corporate greed
* Appointing judges at a historic pace
* Allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices --
substantially lowering costs on life-saving medicines for millions of
Americans
* And more…

There has been a persistent gap between Americans’ understanding of
Biden’s policy achievements and the actual achievements themselves. In
August, only [ [link removed] ]27% of Americans knew a great deal or a good amount about
Biden’s signature achievement: The Inflation Reduction Act. And while only
39% of adults said they supported the legislation, when presented with the
specifics, the majority of Americans supported the individual components
of the bill. That’s good news -- that means this is fixable.

Sunday marked one year until the 2024 general election. We have one year
to educate the people about Biden’s impressive and impactful record,
mobilize voters who can save our democracy from another Trump presidency,
and get out the vote like never before. And we won’t just rely on tactics
like phonebanking, textingbanking and postcards -- we’ll also deploy new
tools like expanding our simple, quick, and effective Neighbor2Neighbor
canvassing program to ensure every one of our progressive neighbors
understands what’s at stake, what we’ve already won, and how much we stand
to gain.  

If you’re ready to be a part of those efforts, if this poll lit a fire
underneath you, [ [link removed] ]sign up to be all in to defeat Trump, and be one of the
first to hit the ground to talk to voters when we roll out some of these
critical tools over the next several weeks!

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

 Your 5 weekly to-dos 

 1. If you have a Republican representative, join our [ [link removed] ]Our States, Our
Fates call on Thursday, November 16 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. We are less than
a year out from the election. With Trump’s numbers still holding
strong, we will need to pull out every stop we have to beat back the
MAGA takeover of our government, and that starts with our red
districts. In this meeting, we’ll be focusing specifically on what we
can do to combat MAGA state and local election subversion. 
 2. If you have a Republican representative, [ [link removed] ]write a letter to the
editor (LTE) to hold your representative accountable for driving us
toward a shutdown. For the third time this year, House Republicans are
driving us to the brink of a crisis. Instead of governing, they have
wasted their time on a baseless impeachment inquiry and the childish
infighting that led to the election of one of the most far-right
speakers of the House in history. Write an LTE to let your community
know they need to hold your representative responsible for their
reckless actions.
 3. If you have a Democratic representative, [ [link removed] ]join our Making a Majority
Cohort Call on Tuesday, November 14 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Join our final
Making a Majority Cohort call where we’ll be discussing the potential
government shutdown, Americans’ everyday economic well-being, and how
we’ll move our Democratic districts into 2024 while we get your
insight and feedback into the campaign itself over the past year. Help
us make sure we are launching into the election year, setting up blue
districts in the best manner possible.
 4. If you have a Democratic representative, [ [link removed] ]call and tell them to
hold the Supreme Court accountable by cosponsoring the Supreme Court
Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act (SCERT). SCOTUS is facing a
legitimacy crisis with MAGA justices like Clarence Thomas and Samuel
Alito accepting lavish gifts from billionaires. These actions call
into question their ability to be impartial and fair in their rulings.
Check out our new [ [link removed] ]unrigging the Supreme Court page to learn more
and take action. When you’re done, [ [link removed] ]call your representative again
and demand they cosponsor the Judiciary Act of 2023. The court has
been stacked with extreme MAGA justices, and the only way to protect
our rights is to expand the court. Call now to make it happen!
 5. If you have a Democratic senator, [ [link removed] ]call and tell them to hold the
Supreme Court accountable by cosponsoring the SCERT Act. We must pass
SCERT through both chambers in order to restore legitimacy to the
court. It is clear that the highest court in the land must be held to
reasonable ethical standards. Call now to make sure your senator
agrees. When you’ve finished, [ [link removed] ]call your senator again and demand
they cosponsor the Judiciary Act of 2023. In addition to the ethics
crisis, we’ve seen just how far-right the court-packing MAGA
Republicans have pushed the Supreme Court. Expansion is the only way
we return to a balanced and fair judiciary before it is too late.

P.S. We rely on grassroots supporters to help fund the tools Indivisibles
use on a daily basis -- including the call pages and LTE tools on your
to-do list! [ [link removed] ]If you're able, pitch in today to help fund our work and
keep this movement going.

Crisis in Israel/Palestine

**Content Warning: Talk about the current Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
Jump to the line break if you need to avoid this topic**

 

Tomorrow marks one month since Hamas’ horrific attacks in Israel.
Indivisible continues to join the global community in grieving the loss of
over 1,400 Israelis, Americans, and foreign citizens in those attacks and
echoes calls for all hostages to be released immediately.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate
catastrophically with Israel’s ongoing bombardment and blockade of
life-sustaining supplies like water, food, medicine, and power. As of
today, more than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed, including over
4,100 children. More than 2,300 people are missing and believed to be
buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings.

Indivisible continues to support the recommendations from progressive
foreign policy leaders, [ [link removed] ]compiled by the Center for International
Policy (PDF), for ending the war and protecting Israeli and Palestinian
lives. The necessary first step is for US leaders to push for a cessation
of hostilities to prevent the further loss of civilian life and escalation
of unimaginable human suffering. 

This crisis is a challenge to our humanity. It calls us to lean into our
solidarity, with our communities at home and with those on the other side
of the globe, to fight antisemitism and Islamophobia alike. It calls us to
stand bravely for the basic principle that human lives are precious. And
it calls us to urge our elected officials to do the same. 

Call on your members of Congress to publicly call for a humanitarian
ceasefire and to use their position to push for an end to hostilities, to
deliver urgently needed humanitarian assistance, and to ensure that the
hostages are released. If they’ve already done so, call and thank them.

[ [link removed] ]another when you call your representative.

2024 Indivisible Endorsements Guide

[ [link removed] ]Check out the 2024 Indivisible Endorsements Guide.

[ [link removed] ]Endorsements Guide >>

Hard to believe it, but the 2024 elections are just around the corner!

In addition to doing the essential work of rooting out MAGA extremists at
every level of government, we have the opportunity to elect the strongest
Democrats to champion progressive priorities and defend progressive
values. Since 2018, our movement has been doing just that: building power
by helping to elect the next generation of bold leaders at every level of
government. Indivisible groups across the country have pushed candidates
on issues that matter, contacted thousands of voters, and shown that the
power of our movement is impossible to ignore.

If your group is considering getting involved in 2024 elections, one of
the most powerful ways you can have an impact is by [ [link removed] ]making
endorsements. We know elections can be intimidating! We also know that an
endorsement, done correctly, is one of the most powerful tools to create
change. This guide demystifies the process with advice on how best to
engage in both primary and general elections.

[22]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 wellbeing, 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. Jeff Jackson, North Carolina

[ [link removed] ]Picture of Rep. Jackson speaking into a microphone. Headline reads:
Jeff Jackson running for N.C. attorney general after being gerrymandered
out of House seat.

On Wednesday, October 25, North Carolina [ [link removed] ]Republicans approved new
gerrymandered maps that will drastically shift the balance of their seats
in Congress next year.

In a state that was previously split 7-7 between Democratic and Republican
representatives, the new maps will likely split those districts into 10
Republican districts, three Democratic districts, and one competitive
district. 

There’s no question this was done purely for partisan gains. 

One of the casualties of this redistricting is that freshman Democratic
Rep. Jeff Jackson of NC-14 will lose his seat to a newly Republican
district. While many people might have sulked and walked away from the
work in his position, Rep. Jackson decided immediately to shift his focus
and run for the desperately important office of North Carolina Attorney
General. 

From that position, Jackson would be able to go after political corruption
and work to help undo the harmful impacts of MAGA extremism across North
Carolina. [ [link removed] ]Read more about Jeff Jackson’s impressive pivot 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.**
