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 (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:

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
