Indivisibles,
Donald Trump was just convicted on all 34 counts in his hush money trial
in New York today. This is a historic moment in the fight for our
democracy and an absolute victory for accountability and the rule of law.

We know what Trump and his MAGA Republican allies and enablers will say:
They will spin, spin, spin. They will attack the judge, the jurors, the
law. They will flood the zone with disinformation to try to convince the
public this doesn’t matter or isn’t real. They will tear down our
democratic institutions in an effort to protect their dear leader
We’re not going to let them do that. We’re going to make sure the truth
shines through. We’re going to repeat the truth again, and again, and
again:
Donald Trump is a convicted felon. Found guilty on all 34 counts by every
single juror. Found guilty of interfering with an election -- with his own
election.
Repeat this truth.
While we can all take a second to revel in Trump finally facing some
repercussions, it’s important to remember that these convictions will not
prevent Trump from raising money, they will not persuade his strongest
supporters away from voting for him, and they won’t stop him from becoming
president for a second term.
With this verdict, our work has never been more important. Our job now is
to ensure voters understand this conviction is a confirmation that Donald
Trump illegally interfered in his own election. He is unfit for the
presidency, and the work we collectively do to defeat him in November will
still be the last line of defense between this country and enduring
facism.
What this conviction does give us is undeniable proof of Trump’s
corruption, greed, and complete apathy toward any law of this land that
does not directly benefit him. It is a reminder of why we work. It is a
reminder of just what we’re up against.
It is a call to action.
Here’s how you can respond:
* [ [link removed] ]Join us (Leah and Ezra) tomorrow, Friday, May 31 at 4pm ET/1pm PT.
We hold informal coffee discussions periodically with the movement,
and conveniently our next one was already scheduled for tomorrow at
4pm ET. This will be a space to ask questions and discuss what comes
next.
* [ [link removed] ]Check to see if Neighbor2Neighbor is available in your area.
Neighbor2Neighbor is Indivisible’s highly effective, community
conversation program, [ [link removed] ]and pre-registration is open now. To defeat
Trump, we’re going to need to organize every voter we possibly can. If
you want to have the biggest impact on voter turnout, this is the most
effective way we’ve found to mobilize community members (our numbers
prove it).
* [ [link removed] ]RSVP for the Majority over MAGA Weekend of Action Kickoff Call on
Thursday, June 13 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. The MAGA Supreme Court's reversal
of Roe v. Wade changed the course of contemporary American politics by
making it clear to all of us that MAGA Republicans weren’t just here
to make threats, they were going to follow through and rip away our
rights. Help us remind people that there’s a better option. For more
information on the Weekend of Action itself, [ [link removed] ]check out our Majority
over MAGA Weekend of Action (June 21-24) Toolkit, and join the kickoff
call to hear specifically about how we’ll be highlighting the ongoing
fight for reproductive rights this election year.
* [ [link removed] ]If you are able, chip in $10 (or more) to support the work we are
doing to keep Trump out of the White House. Our job this year is
working together to win a true trifecta, codify reproductive freedoms,
and pass democracy reform, but we can’t do that without your support.
Every dollar you give goes toward the tools and manpower needed to
make sure we beat back MAGA extremism again.
We are finally seeing the beginning pieces of accountability for Trump,
but that doesn’t mean we can take our foot off the gas. We must defeat him
and the rest of his MAGA supporters in November. We must and we will.
In solidarity,
Ezra Levin & Leah Greenberg
