Indivisibles --
We know abortion rights are on the ballot this year -- and we know that a
nationwide abortion ban is a hallmark of the MAGA agenda (and just the
beginning of their assault on birth control, IVF, and more).
Yet you wouldn’t know it from the coverage of Trump’s policy statement on
abortion this week. Nearly every major outlet reported that he said we
"should leave it to the states" -- a much more moderate interpretation
than what he actually said, that it "will be left to the states" (AKA the
current law). In reality, his statement didn’t say much at all about where
he stands.
Why does this matter? It is, of course, utter bullshit coming from the man
who bragged about ending Roe -- but it also shows how the media is willing
to leave his intentionally vague statements unchallenged and unquestioned.
After all, Trump’s statement was an explicit endorsement of the most
draconian abortion bans that have been passed at the state level. An
endorsement of Florida’s six-week ban. An endorsement of the 1864 TOTAL
ban that the Arizona Supreme Court reinstated yesterday. The public
deserves to know that Trump is responsible for all this, bragged about it,
and plans to erode our rights further if he wins a second term.
These moments prove how urgent it is that voters hear from trusted
messengers about where the candidates really stand on the issues, from
abortion rights to the fight for our democracy, from health care to the
protection of Social Security.
And as we previewed last week, we’ve developed what we believe to be the
easiest and most effective direct voter contact tactic in existence:
Neighbor2Neighbor. It’s a simple tool that allows volunteers to have
powerful conversations with their neighbors about the stakes of the
election -- and we believe it has the potential to shift outcomes up and
down the ballot this November.
Today we’re starting Neighbor2Neighbor pre-registration for activists in
swing states and target districts:

We’ve spent a lot of time hyping up Neighbor2Neighbor because it is a
highly effective program that’s simple for volunteers, but it’s highly
effective because it is targeted and specific. We purposefully narrow down
the focus areas to ensure the best experience for our volunteers and the
biggest return on investment for democracy.
That means some areas are not right for this specific tactic -- and trust
us, we spent hours upon hours digging into the best targets. It looks like
you aren’t in one of our eligible areas ([ [link removed] ]full list here).* But you
still have loads of options to get involved and fight back against Donald
Trump and his MAGA cronies.
We wouldn’t be Indivisible if we were leaving people behind. The fight for
2024 is a fight for the whole country, not just a few target districts,
and we’re going to need everyone to get to work. Here’s how you can get
involved, too:
[ [link removed] ]☎️ Talk to voters in key states in our next virtual phonebank on
Thursday, May 2. There’s no better way to mark the anniversary of the
leaked Supreme Court draft of the Dobbs decision to overturn Roe than by
talking to voters on the frontlines of this fight. Join us and make
calls to ensure they know how high the stakes are this November.
[ [link removed] ]✍️ Sign up to defend democracy with Project 2024: Majority Over MAGA.
Project 2024 is our campaign to defeat Trump in 2024. This is where
you’ll find out about other opportunities in addition to
Neighbor2Neighbor, like joining our textbanking cohort, making calls
with future phonebanks, and writing postcards to key voters. Sign up now
to be the first to find out about new opportunities to help us defeat
Trump (and his ilk) in November.
[ [link removed] ]💸 Donate to ensure we have the capacity to expand these programs as
much as necessary to win in November. Our movement is sustained by
small-dollar donations. It may feel silly, but no amount is too small to
make a difference. Your donation may be the exact dollar that helps us
expand to five more houses in Wisconsin or to send 20 more postcards to
Michigan.
📣 Help recruit your friends in eligible battleground states to
Neighbor2Neighbor! You may not be living in one of our target
geographies, but we bet you have some progressive friends in a few of
them -- including key states where voters have a chance to overturn
abortion bans through ballot measures or electing Democrats. If you’re
on Facebook, you can use these links to see who you know in [ [link removed] ]Arizona,
[ [link removed] ]Texas, [ [link removed] ]Florida, [ [link removed] ]North Carolina, and [ [link removed] ]Georgia.
Then you can use Facebook Messenger to send them this sample message or
your own customized invite (just remember to include the sign-up
link!):
Hey! Reproductive freedom is at stake in this year’s election --
especially in states like yours enforcing abortion bans. If you’re
looking to volunteer to help restore abortion rights, you should check
out Indivisible’s new GOTV tool Neighbor2Neighbor. It’s apparently the
most effective voter contact tool out there and it’s really easy to get
started with: You sign up, are assigned 10 Democratic-leaning neighbors,
and knock those doors on your own time using a loose script about
restoring abortion rights. You can learn more and sign up here:

This is the most important election in our lifetimes. We cannot allow
Donald Trump to complete the MAGA takeover of our government. Reproductive
freedom is on the line. Ending gun violence is on the line. The safety of
LGBTQ+ Americans is on the line. Democracy is on the line.
This is a major milestone in our electoral plans, and we’re excited to
share more opportunities in the weeks ahead. Take a moment today and make
a commitment to save tomorrow. We can win this thing with you by our side.
We could ask for no better network of friends and activists to be in this
fight with us!
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
