Indivisibles, 

The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled unanimously that [ [link removed] ]states do not have
the standing to remove a presidential candidate from the ballot, ending a
long-shot bid by a group of Republican voters in Colorado to block his
eligibility on the grounds of the 14th amendment. 

Though there was some disagreement between the liberal and conservative
blocs of justices, they came together and delivered one important message:
The courts will not save you. 

…or at least, that’s what we heard. 

Americans across the country (including us) have been waiting with bated
breath for the results of the judicial challenges to Trump’s eligibility
along with his numerous indictments. It is only natural that we want to
see a serial fraud, harasser, and insurrectionist brought to justice. But
we can’t take anything for granted -- the stakes are too high, so we all
need to get to work. 

Trump is an existential danger to our democracy, and we cannot wait for
someone else to stop him.

We know that Trump will cheat and connive his way to whatever ends he
deems best, and we know his enablers, whether in Congress or on the
Supreme Court, are happy to let it happen (or egg it on!). [ [link removed] ]Ezra’s
Newsletter from this weekend did an incredible job at laying out the work
Mitch McConnell did, in collaboration with Trump, to steal power from the
American people and stack the chips in MAGA’s favor. As we try to undo the
damage of Trump’s presidency, we are still working to restore democracy,
not just defend it.

We have to protect the right to vote for all Americans.
We have to restore legitimacy to the courts.
And, we must federally enshrine reproductive freedom.

We can’t stop, because we know Trump and his MAGA lackeys are continuing
to attack our rights. 

When a court in Alabama can make a unilateral ruling nearly halting all
access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the state and MAGA Republicans
in Congress [ [link removed] ]still refuse to pass federal legislation protecting it, we
know that they are [ [link removed] ]not content to stop at the rights they’ve already
stripped away. 

They are coming for more. And we are the last defense.

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

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

 Your 5 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Call your senator and demand they protect IVF access nationwide.
The MAGA agenda did not just stop at repealing Roe. They intend to ban
contraception, IVF, gender-affirming care, marriage equality, and
more. Sen. Tammy Duckworth has introduced the Access to Family
Building Act, a bill that would enshrine access to IVF and related
services as a federal right, protecting both would-be families and
their medical providers. If your senator is a Democrat, call and make
sure they are a cosponsor. If your senator is a Republican, tell them
to put their money where their mouth is, pass this bill, and actually
support families. 
 2. [ [link removed] ]Sign up to volunteer with our new electoral program -- Project
2024: Majority Over MAGA. Through this new electoral program, we will
be rolling out tools to ensure Indivisibles all across the country
have the opportunity to make a difference in the highest-priority
races in the country. This will include tactics like phonebanking,
postcarding, and direct-to-voter texting along with our groundbreaking
community canvassing strategy: Neighbor2Neighbor. Sign up to be the
first to know when we launch our tools in your area.
 3. If your representative is a Democrat, [ [link removed] ]demand they oppose all
extreme MAGA policy riders. Congress pushed government funding back
once again, and half of the package faces a new deadline this Friday,
March 8. House Republicans will not be able to pass anything without
significant Democratic support. As the most-extreme wing of the
Republican party tries to hold everyone hostage and attach dangerous
riders to funding the government, we must ensure Democrats stay in
line and push them to sign a clean funding bill.
 4. If you have a Democratic senator (or two!), [ [link removed] ]demand they oppose all
extreme MAGA policy riders. What sort of things are those MAGA
extremists trying to include in a government funding bill? Attacks on
reproductive freedom, the LGBTQ+ community, and vulnerable asylum
seekers; rollbacks of gun violence prevention policies; and more. We
cannot allow our Democratic senators to give in to these extreme
demands.
 5. [ [link removed] ]Tune in to the State of the Union this Thursday, March 7 at 9pm
ET/6pm PT and follow along with our commentary on Threads. Join us in
celebrating President Biden’s accomplishments and hearing about his
vision for the future on important issues like reproductive freedom
and democracy. Follow along on Threads as we contrast Biden’s
leadership with MAGA Republicans’ extreme agenda.

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.

Call for a Humanitarian Ceasefire

**Content Warning: Talk about the current humanitarian crisis in Israel
and Palestine. Jump to the line break if you need to avoid this topic.**

 

Vice President [ [link removed] ]Kamala Harris called for an “immediate ceasefire” this
Sunday while speaking at an event commemorating Bloody Sunday in Selma,
Alabama. This follows the [ [link removed] ]US air-dropping aid into Gaza this weekend
in an acknowledgement that the Palestinian people need any type of help
they can get, even if it amounts to a drop in the bucket.

It is a subtle shift in tone from the administration, signaling that
efforts to pressure officials to do everything in their power to broker a
ceasefire are working, if slowly. It’s important to remember that these
shifts are driven by the people speaking out about atrocities. 

We cannot sit idly by and watch when we know more than 12,000 children
have been killed since October 7th. There must be an immediate ceasefire,
the return of all hostages, and open access to humanitarian aid. 

It is important that the Vice President is now calling for a ceasefire
(even if only a temporary one). It is important that we see progress in
the administration’s movement toward stopping this brutal violence. As we
inch toward Israel’s arbitrary deadline preceding an offensive in Rafah,
all progress is both good and potentially life-saving. But that progress
must be followed up with action. 

Contact your Member of Congress and ensure that they hear from the people.
The fighting must stop, the hostages must be returned, and crucial,
life-saving aid must be allowed into Gaza.

* [ [link removed] ]Call your representative and urge them to support a humanitarian
ceasefire publicly, use their position to push for an end to
hostilities, deliver urgently needed humanitarian assistance, and
ensure that all hostages are released.
* [ [link removed] ]Call both of your senators now and ask them to do the same.
* [ [link removed] ]Email your MoCs and tell them that the bombing has to stop. This
crisis is a challenge to our humanity. It is hard to witness brutal
acts of violence and not believe that violent retaliation is the only
response. But we must eschew those instincts and find a pathway to
peace.

and make strategic, thoughtful assessments of how to move our goals
forward by taking into account the other person’s responses. We’ll learn
from veteran activist Loretta Ross about how we can assess and adjust our
communication approaches based on the person we’re talking to and how
closely they already align with our goals.
