“To be arguing on your opponent's conversational turf, on their terms,
through their frames, is to concede before you open your mouth.”

-Anand Giridharadas

Indivisibles,

When we last updated you on our Powering Progress campaign, we shared the
top lesson from our summer of local action: effective communication is the
most impactful way to get the word out about the Inflation Reduction Act
(IRA). In order to educate our communities on all the benefits of the IRA
and having an active government working for the good of all, we must
connect directly with various community members, meet them where they are,
and guide them towards our progressive values with ease and empathy. 

So, with this lesson in mind, we took time to plan the next phase of our
work with the goal of strengthening Indivisibles' communication skills on
a broad spectrum of topics. 

We hope you’ll join us as we become stronger, more confident messengers
with "persuadable" individuals who align with Indivisible's values but are
vulnerable to right-wing narratives, including racialized dog-whistle
rhetoric that can sway them away from progressive ideals.

[ [link removed] ]That’s why we are excited to launch a virtual book club open to all
Indivisibles -- and we’re kicking off by reading and discussing Anand
Giridharadas' acclaimed book, "The Persuaders." Click here to fill out our
signup form now, and we’ll send you a free copy of the book to start
reading.

"The Persuaders" immerses readers in the world of dedicated activists and
organizers spanning the nation, all driven by the common goal of expanding
the progressive movement without compromising our principles or drifting
toward the center. Anand Giridharadas delves deep into the art of
addressing threats and injustices while extending a hand to those who may
not yet share our views, but potentially could in the future. The book
offers invaluable insights on healing and uniting our fractured nation.

At its core, the book advocates for creating accessible pathways for folks
on the fence to engage with progressive issues. It emphasizes the power of
pursuing shared objectives rather than fixating on our differences. This
approach not only strengthens our movement but also opens up opportunities
for massive mobilization and significant victories nationwide. Our goal is
to focus on further enhancing and applying our persuasion and
communication skills, so that we can bring more people into our shared
vision for the future. 

[ [link removed] ]So, relax, kick your feet up, and join us on this inspiring journey as
we read "The Persuaders." Fill out our registration form now and we’ll
send you a copy of the book so you can get started.

After you order a book, you can [ [link removed] ]register an event to host fun and
interactive book clubs to discuss it! We will share the link to host your
own event soon, and we’ll share some resources soon to help you lead
effective book discussions on how to implement the knowledge that author
Anand Giridharadas shares. We recommend registering your book clubs for
December -- and then we’ll hold an event at the beginning of next year
with a special speaker -- stay tuned! The first 15 groups to register a
book club event for this year will get 10 customized Powering Progress
book club shirts to wear for your event! 

So, embark on this reading adventure with enthusiasm and an open heart. We
look forward to reuniting in the new year with fresh perspectives and
fortified communication skills, ready to make a meaningful impact on our
path in the year ahead. 

In solidarity, Indivisible Team
