Indivisibles,
We’ve seen it in schools and state legislatures across the country: The
war on diversity, equity, and inclusion is a core feature of the
Republican platform in 2024.
Now they’re saying the quiet part out loud.
Following the MAGA majority on [ [link removed] ]SCOTUS gutting affirmative action last
year, Trump’s allies are doubling down -- not only are they looking to end
anti-racist protections for BIPOC Americans, but they’re even looking to
use the same laws meant to protect marginalized Americans to instead
[ [link removed] ]focus on the fake threat of “anti-white racism.”
Trump has nurtured the worst brand of vile, white-supremacist hate
disguised as patriotism within his party, keeping [ [link removed] ]those who share his
dangerous beliefs close while driving everyone else to fall in line.
[ [link removed] ]If you’re a woman, you’re not safe.
[ [link removed] ]If you’re LGBTQ+, you’re not safe.
[ [link removed] ]If you’re a minority, you’re not safe.
If you’re all of the above…
The 2024 election is not just about keeping a narcissistic insurrectionist
out of office. It is about defending the soul of this country -- the soul
that has led countless people to seek refuge here yearning for a better
life.
When we say that a second Trump presidency is a danger to this country, it
is not solely to the idea of America. Trump is a danger to the people who
live here, to the people who come here, and to the people who are just
trying to live a peaceful life across the world whose safety will be at
Trump’s whims.
It is on every one of us to make sure that doesn’t happen.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your 4 weekly to-dos
1. [ [link removed] ]Sign up to defend democracy from Trump with Project 2024: Majority
Over MAGA. Our Project 2024 was made in direct opposition to Trump’s
dangerous MAGA objectives. This new electoral program will ensure
Indivisibles all across the country have the opportunity to make a
difference in the highest-priority races this cycle and prevent a MAGA
catastrophe from taking place. This will include tactics like
phonebanking, postcarding, and direct-to-voter texting along with our
groundbreaking community conversation strategy: Neighbor2Neighbor.
Sign up to be the first to know when we launch our tools in your area.
2. [ [link removed] ]Call your senator and demand they protect in vitro fertilization
(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.
3. [ [link removed] ]When you’re finished calling, send your senators an email urging
them to protect IVF access.
4. [ [link removed] ]Email your Member of Congress (MoC) about cosponsoring H.R. 732 --
the Save Medicare Act. We know the MAGA agenda includes [ [link removed] ]ending
Medicare as we know it -- and a big part of their scheme includes
handing the reins to private insurers. But we’ve seen what happens
when greedy insurance companies are put in charge: Medicare Advantage,
the privatized option for Medicare, is rampant with fraud and
overspending. If we allow insurance companies unchecked power to run
the program, we risk sticking millions of Americans with coverage that
promises quality healthcare only to deny coverage for essential care
and services. Congress must hold these predatory Medicare Advantage
plans accountable, and that starts with blocking the deceptive naming
of these private plans.
P.S. We rely on grassroots supporters to help fund the tools Indivisibles
use on a daily basis -- including the call pages and email 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 Gaza.
Jump to the line break if you need to avoid this topic.**
After a two-week raid, Israeli troops have pulled out of Al-Shifa Hospital
in Gaza, [ [link removed] ]leaving behind “rubble and bodies.”
As a local Palestinian, [ [link removed] ]Osama al-Ashi, reported to The New York Times:
“As soon as you approach Al-Shifa Hospital, you’re hit with the stench of
decomposing bodies...The whole time we were walking, we were stepping on
body parts…The medical equipment, the beds, the administrative buildings
-- everywhere, everything is burned.”
This has gone far beyond rooting out Hamas and has become an attack on
Gaza’s infrastructure. After months of bombing, if Gazans wanted to
return, how would they receive the medical attention they will desperately
need to survive?
We grieve the over 33,000 Palestinians who have been killed since October
7th including more than 13,000 children. We must also remember that the
more than 75,000 living Gazans who have been injured in that same period
will need ongoing, and often serious, medical attention. If Netanyahu’s
military continues to dismantle the medical infrastructure of Gaza, they
will have nothing to return to.
We all have one goal -- the return of hostages, free access to aid, and an
end to the violence. The current path of war will not bring us closer to
peace. Even families of Israeli hostages [ [link removed] ]don’t believe Netanyahu’s
administration is working toward the return of their people.
It’s time our representatives do everything they can to promote peace.
