Back in the fray for Georgia: Help build a pro-choice State Supreme Court majority

John Barrow is a pro-choice candidate running for a seat on the State Supreme Court in Georgia. He has been approved by Indivisible chapters in Georgia, and we invite you to join them and Indivisible National in getting out the vote for this critical race! Flipping this seat could mean overturning the abortion ban in Georgia

Election day is Tuesday, May 21—so we need to do everything we can, as soon as possible.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Phone bank with Indivisible Georgia Coalition. RSVP here.

2. Write postcards with Tony the Democrat.

3. Join Fair Fight’s text bank tomorrow, May 9.

Tell Speaker Rivas: Relieve Californians from PG&E price-gouging

Last year, California lawmakers rushed through a bill that imposed a Utility Tax on ratepayers. There’s nothing preventing this fee from rising even higher in the future.

AB 1999 would cap the Utility Tax at $10 per month and prohibit it from rising faster than inflation, but it has been undemocratically denied a hearing by Assembly Speaker Rivas. The bill is now on life support. Let’s let him know that California ratepayers are paying attention and we need relief.

Watch (or rewatch) the “Power in the House” event

Our friends at the California Grassroots Alliance had their launch event last week. Joined by speakers Ben Wikler of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, Rep. Katie Porter of CA-47, and Jess Craven of “Chop Wood, Carry Water,” the Alliance unveiled its “Sweep Six” campaign: electing Democrats to Congress in six of California’s purple districts so that we can take back the House Majority and hold off the MAGA arsonists.

The event opened with a preview of an early version of the Alliance’s upcoming ad, “Firebreak,” which can be viewed standalone on the Alliance website. You can also watch the full event on YouTube.
