Indivisible

Indivisibles,

We’ve got a little less than a year to save democracy in this country.

Did that sentence motivate you? Probably not. You may agree (or argue there’s a lot more work we need to do before we call ourselves a true democracy, and to that we say, damn straight), but there’s only so much enthusiasm we can muster by repeating “this is an existential election, the most important of our lives” every four years, even if it’s true. It is true, by the way.

The work over the next year has to be about framing the danger of MAGA extremism, absolutely, but if we want folks to get off the sidelines, we’ve got to paint more than a dark picture of what Trump is threatening -- we have to be offering a positive vision of what we’re gonna deliver, too.

Fundraising emails have to be the same way. And surprise, this is a fundraising email!

So many of the emails we receive are about the horrible things that’ll happen if you don’t donate and not about the exciting, transformative things your donation will make possible. We don’t want this to be that kind of email.

So here’s our simple format: Column 1: Things Trump or his team have said they will do if they win (some requiring Republican control of Congress, some not). And this is just what they’re saying out loud. Column 2: Things we can accomplish with a restored Democratic trifecta (a real one, with Gallego instead of Sinema in the Senate). And last but not least: A chance for you to donate so we can organize like hell over the next 326 days to make column 2 a reality. Or heck, you can just donate here if you’re ready.

And one more thing -- if you are able to donate, we won’t send you another fundraising email for the rest of the year.

If Trump wins	If we win
Reinstate the Muslim ban	Overturn Citizens United

Mass roundups and deportations of immigrants without due process	Finally pass the Dream Act
Take the Justice Department under his control to prosecute critics and rivals	Pass binding ethics rules and reform the judiciary to end Supreme Court corruption

Attack Mexico	Not attack Mexico
Repeal the Affordable Care Act, kicking tens of millions off their insurance	Continue lowering drug prices and healthcare costs
Expand tax cuts for the rich	Close tax loopholes to ensure ultrarich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes
Impose tariffs that’ll increase costs for working Americans	Continue investments in green manufacturing in the USA
Ban life-saving gender affirming care for young people	Pass the Equality Act to protect trans rights in all 50 states

Be a dictator	Renew the Child Tax Credit & subsidize childcare for every American

We’re just scratching the surface of the chaos another Trump term would bring and the list of progressive reforms we could pass with a restored Democratic trifecta.* There’s so much we can do to make sure our economy and democracy works better for everyone -- not just those who can afford massive political donations and vacations with a Supreme Court justice. We can usher in another four years of progress or four years of vengeance, division, and democratic backsliding.

We know which future we want, and we have a plan to get there. But if we’re going to fund all the grassroots organizing it’ll take to deliver victories up and down the ballot in 2024, we really need your help.

We have a $250,000 goal for this month, and as of today we’re 41% there. Please chip in what you can to invest in the better future we want for our country >>
