Indivisibles, 

The first presidential debate of 2024 is this Thursday, June 27 at 9pm
ET/6pm PT.

That’s right. Trump is still facing criminal charges in multiple venues,
awaiting sentencing for 34 felonies, and his MAGA-controlled Supreme Court
has yet to rule on his immunity claims. Meanwhile the election schedule
moves right along, gracing us with our first debate of the 2024 cycle. 

Today is also the two-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision that reversed
Roe v. Wade and set abortion rights in this country back 50 years. When
Trump stands behind that podium on Thursday, he will be doing so as the
man most responsible for ripping away our reproductive freedoms. Abortion
is now [ [link removed] ]banned in 14 states across the US, and 7 more states have highly
restrictive laws in place resulting in nearly no access. Republicans are
gearing up for a nationwide ban if they win in November. We know it's up
to us to stop them -- and we know there are many, many Americans out there
who oppose these bans that we can rally to our side.

So why is a debate important?

For undecided voters, debates can be an important deciding factor in who
to support at the ballot box. Debates provide candidates with equal
platforms to articulate their values and vision for the country, while
giving voters an accessible format to gain valuable information about the
candidates and their positions on important issues.

But Indivisibles aren’t undecided. We know there’s no actual debate here:
Democracy and abortion rights are on the ballot, and nothing Donald Trump
says on that debate stage will convince us that he and his MAGA
Republicans will stop attacking our institutions, elections, and basic
freedoms the second they get more power.

So why bother watching? 

That’s a fair question. Here are five reasons why we think it’s worth
watching: 

 1. It gives us an opportunity to directly engage with, and respond to,
what’s said on the debate stage. It’s unique to be in conversation, in
real time, with the future leader of our country, and we don’t wanna
pass it up. Our national staff will be watching and putting reactions
out on social media throughout the debate -- follow along with us.
We’ll also be sharing takes from the movement, so be sure to tag
@IndivisibleTeam so we can see and share your posts.
 2. It keeps us attuned to what voters are hearing. In order for us to be
effective messengers, we need to know what undecided voters are
hearing. For a lot of those voters, the debate could very well be the
first time they’re engaging with this election, making it their only
reference point as they decide who to support.
 3. It reminds us of the stakes. Trump is going to say a lot of things
during the debate that are truly unhinged and fascistic. Those should
serve as a fortifying reminder of what we’re up against, of what the
stakes are, and that we need to fight like hell against the
anti-democracy, anti-abortion politics of MAGA.
 4. It’s a fun way to get together with your Indivisible community! These
debates are bound to have an air of spectacle, so why not make an
event of them? Invite over your community of Indivisible activists for
a Debate Watch Party! They’re an easy way to bring some levity back to
the hard and real work of saving democracy. You can even turn the
debate into a game by playing [ [link removed] ]Presidential Debate Bingo.
 5. It can help grow your local Indivisible movement. Watch parties are a
low barrier space that can appeal to folks who are just getting
activated and looking for an organizing home. You found your way to
this movement for a reason: a sense of urgency that we may lose our
democracy if we don’t act now. There are people around the corner from
you who are feeling your same urgency, but who haven’t found their
community. A debate watch party is a great way to invite them into
yours!

Making an impact in elections is hard and invaluable work, and it’s gonna
take all of us to defeat the anti-democracy, anti-abortion politics of
MAGA. If we’re going to make it the next 4.5 months without burning out or
losing faith, we’ve got to lean into community, find space for joy,
cultivate rest, and remind ourselves of why we’re in this fight.

That’s why we’re encouraging you to gather with your local Indivisible
crew (and maybe invite some new people, too!) to tune into the first
presidential debate of 2024!

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Your weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Use our toolkit to host a Presidential Debate Watch Party. Bring
your community together to watch exactly what the candidates present
to the American people. We know that Trump will be a loose cannon
(thankfully, they’re muting the microphones this time). Make sure you
know exactly what extremism he’s bringing to the people so that you
can let others know. Don’t want to host or attend a watch party, but
still want to engage with the debate? Play [ [link removed] ]Presidential Debate
Bingo! 
 2. [ [link removed] ]Register for our next Coffee Klatch with Leah and Ezra on Monday,
July 1 at 4pm ET/1pm PT. Hear our organizational reactions to and
analysis of the debate in this informal virtual chat. Don’t forget,
you can pre-submit questions when you sign up. 
 3. [ [link removed] ]Sign up to phonebank, textbank, or write to voters with 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. We rely on grassroots supporters to help fund the tools Indivisibles
use on a daily basis -- including the call pages and LTE tools on your to
do list! [ [link removed] ]If you're able, pitch in today to help fund our work and keep
this movement going.

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 homes, [ [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.

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.

 

This weekend, [ [link removed] ]Netanyahu pushed back against President Biden’s
assertion that the Israeli government had agreed to terms on a
three-phased ceasefire, once again asserting that his government is:

“Prepared to make a partial deal -- this is no secret -- that will return
to us some of the people… But we are committed to continuing the war after
a pause, in order to complete the goal of eliminating Hamas. I’m not
willing to give up on that.”

This comes three weeks after President Biden [ [link removed] ]delivered a speech
announcing an agreement with Netanyahu that was only awaiting Hamas’
acceptance. In those intervening weeks, Netanyahu has done everything in
his power to undermine Biden and undercut the deal. These are not the
actions of a man striving to end the war and bring back the remaining
hostages alive.

This is the climate in which Benjamin Netanyahu is being invited to
address Congress. 

We cannot allow our elected representatives to show their tacit support to
a warmonger whose only goal is his personal political ambitions, not the
safe return of the hostages or a path to peace in the region. 

[ [link removed] ]Call your representative and tell them to say “No to Netanyahu” and
skip his address to Congress. Netanyahu’s address will not end this brutal
campaign. But we have the tools to advance that goal. Our Members of
Congress must skip his address and stop the transfer of offensive weapons
to the Israeli military, so that responsible leaders can work to broker a
ceasefire, ensure the safe return of the hostages, and allow the flow of
humanitarian aid to Gaza.  

Contact your Members of Congress today!
