Indivisibles,
Last week, Senators Ed Markey and Mazie Hirono proposed a bill that would
federally protect the right to obtain contraceptives -- specifically “any
drug, device, or biological product intended for use in the prevention of
pregnancy.”
[ [link removed] ]Senate Republicans blocked it.
Republicans continue to lie to the American people -- claiming they
support personal freedoms while doing everything they can to pave the way
for restrictions and bans against reproductive rights.
And we know why this is: Even Republicans understand that repealing Roe
was wildly unpopular and that, by a large margin, Americans support things
like birth control, in vitro fertilization (IVF), and abortion access.
MAGA Republicans fear the political repercussions of their own policies,
so they lie to voters instead of changing their positions.
Democrats are continuing the fight to protect reproductive freedoms, but
we know that Republicans have just enough power in Congress to continue to
block it. They will vote down bills from the minority or overload them
with enough amendments to kill the legislation before it reaches the
floor. And even then, they’ll try to avoid accountability.
But we’re not going to let them get away with it.
Next weekend, June 21-24, Indivisibles across the country will be
organizing rallies, honk-a-thons, bird-dogging, and every type of event
you can think of to let Americans know that we won’t forget: Republicans
repealed Roe.
And we won’t let them do it again.
Now and through November, we will remind the [ [link removed] ]17% of voters who blame
Biden for the end of Roe that it was a Republican president who stole the
Supreme Court in order to overturn it, and it is Republican legislatures
all across the country instituting more and more horrific measures
criminalizing our right to choose.
We need your help to get that message out there.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your 4 weekly to-dos
1. [ [link removed] ]RSVP for the Majority over MAGA Weekend of Action Kickoff Call this
Thursday, June 13 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. **Breaking announcement: There
will be a special message from VP Harris on the call.** 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.
2. If you have a senator, [ [link removed] ]call and tell them they must pass Senator
Duckworth’s Right to IVF Act. We’ve already seen what happened in
Alabama: [ [link removed] ]The state supreme court handed down a ruling imperiling
IVF access across the state. Alabama Republicans hastily passed a bill
they hoped would make the issue go away, but at least one IVF clinic
is still being forced to shut down. We need federal protections for
IVF. Call your senator and tell them to support the Right to IVF Act
today.
3. [ [link removed] ]Take a look at our new Majority Over MAGA: State to State resource.
Neighbor2Neighbor (see below) may only be available in our target
districts, but it’s going to take everyone coming together to drive
wins in November. This State to State page will be our home for all of
the other resources and strategies that will power us to a true
Democratic trifecta that will codify reproductive freedoms and enact
democracy reforms. Check this page to learn about phonebanks,
textbanks, postcards, reimbursements, and more that will be the
backbone of our 2024 election program.
4. [ [link removed] ]Neighbor2Neighbor is open!!!! Check and see if it’s available in
your area, and help get out the vote. We have opened our highly
effective, community conversation program -- Neighbor2Neighbor. 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). Check and see if Neighbor2Neighbor is available in your
area and, if it is, sign up today.
P.S. If you've already signed up to volunteer with Project 2024 and you're
looking for more ways to support our candidate election work, [ [link removed] ]consider
making a donation today. Your contribution will ensure all of our
volunteers have the tools and resources they need to get out the vote and
defeat MAGA up and down the ballot.

Majority Over MAGA National Phonebank
[ [link removed] ]Join a phone bank June 20 6pm ET/3pm PT
[ [link removed] ]Register for the Project 2024: Majority Over MAGA Weekend of Action
National Phonebank for Sherrod Brown on Thursday, July 20 at 6pm ET/3pm
PT. This Ohio Senate seat is a must-win if we want to hold onto (and
expand) our Senate majority in November, and Sherrod Brown is up against a
Trump-backed, MAGA extremist. It is up to us to ensure that Sherrod has
the support necessary to win this race, and every single vote is going to
matter in a state as tightly contested as Ohio. Help us move one step
closer to a true trifecta and elect Sherrod Brown. There will be a
training to begin the event if you need a refresher on phonebanking.

Demand Your Members of Congress Say No To Netanyahu
**Content Warning: Talk about the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Jump to the line break if you need to avoid this topic.**
[ [link removed] ]No to Netanyahu: Netanyahu shouldn't have been invited to address
Congress. Members of Congress shouldn't attend.
While the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has passed the eight month mark, and
issues like the conditions in Rafah, safety of the hostages, and potential
for peace have remained uncertain, one thing has been clear: No one
believes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has handled this crisis well.
Whether it’s a member of his own government resigning while saying
“[ [link removed] ]Netanyahu is preventing us from advancing toward true victory,” Biden
explaining that he has “every reason” to believe [ [link removed] ]Netanyahu is
extending the war for political reasons, or families of the remaining
hostages [ [link removed] ]calling on him to resign, no one believes Bibi has the
well-being of either Israelis or Palestinians at heart, only his own need
for power.
So why is Congress inviting him to speak?
Netanyahu accepted an invitation to speak to Congress on July 24, the
first time he’s been in front of a joint session since he went [ [link removed] ]behind
Obama’s back to try to undermine the president’s authority in 2015. He is
invited now as [ [link removed] ]only 30% of Americans (and 13% of Democrats) have
confidence in Netanyahu to do the right thing.
If the American people don’t have faith in Netanyahu -- if his own people
don’t have faith in him to lead -- Congress should not be attending his
stump speech.
We have a mechanism to convince him to do what is right. That mechanism is
halting the supply of offensive weapons to Israel to push them to work
toward peace. As President Biden said, a deal is on the table, all that
needs to happen is for Israel and Hamas to agree.
A visit to Congress does nothing to further that.
[ [link removed] ]Call your representative and tell them to say “No to Netanyahu” and
skip his address to Congress. Rather than indulging in the political
machinations of a Trumpian power-monger, they must get back to what’s
actually important and impactful: Stopping the flow of offensive weapons
into the hands of the Israeli military in order to broker a ceasefire,
ensure the return of the hostages, and allow the free administration of
humanitarian aid. No to Netanyahu, yes to peace.
Call your Members of Congress.

Justice Alito and SCOTUS Corruption
After it was reported that Justice Samuel Alito had flown [ [link removed] ]two separate
versions of flags that are [ [link removed] ]symbols of support for the January 6th
insurrection outside of his home, [ [link removed] ]Alito has stated his refusal to
recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s attempted overthrow of our
government.
This would be a conflict of interest for any judge, but is especially
horrific given our ongoing need for impartial checks and balances as Trump
makes continued allusions to refusing to accept the results of an
election.
The MAGA Supreme Court doesn’t just have a corruption problem, it has an
insurrection problem.
It is past time for Congress to take action, and we need your help to make
that happen:
[ [link removed] ]If you have Senate representation, ask your senators to take a stand
against Supreme Court corruption. Make sure your senators are being vocal
about the need for a thorough investigation into Alito’s corruption.
Congress cannot just accept a corrupt court; they must do everything in
their power to expose that corruption and root it out.
Take a moment to defend our democracy today.

Indivisible Civics' Truth Brigade
[ [link removed] ]Truth Brigade Big Truths Call featuring Kristina Wilfore Wed. June 12
at 6:30pm ET/3:30pm PT
[ [link removed] ]Register for Indivisible Civics’ Truth Brigade’s next Big Truths call:
Hidden in Plain Sight: Disinfo Attacking Women this Wednesday, June 12 at
6:30pm ET/3:30pm PT. On this month’s call, we will be featuring special
guest Kristina Wilfore, the Director of Innovation and Global Projects at
[ [link removed] ]Reset.tech and an adjunct professor at the George Washington
University Elliott School of International Affairs. Join us for a
wonderfully informative session from an incredible expert. For a quick
preview from Kristina:
“Weaponizing social media against women leaders with gendered
disinformation and hate is one of the most effective mechanisms deployed
to erode democratic institutions, divide social groups, exercise foreign
influence, and support the growth of transnational far-right movements.
Attacks that aim to undermine women leaders reach millions at very low
cost, and represent an early warning of democratic backsliding.
Fact-checking and de-bunking efforts to expose disinformation are
important, but not sufficient to ever stop its spread. For that, a
concerted and coordinated whole of society effort is needed to bolster a
rights-based approach to information integrity.”
