Indivisibles,
The last two weeks have been eventful, to say the least.
Between the MAGA Supreme Court supporting Trump’s immunity claims (after
further endangering abortion access and criminalizing homelessness), a
rough showing for President Biden at the first Presidential Debate, and
the ensuing turmoil throughout the Democratic Party, there are a lot of
questions in the air about what happens next.
Regardless of what any of us thinks should happen next in the presidential
race, we all know the stakes, and we all want to win.
That is our focus.
Because while President Biden’s debate performance may have been bad, an
enduring MAGA majority on the Supreme Court is worse. A second Trump
presidency is worse. Project 2025 is worse.
That is what we’re up against. Project 2025 would:
* [ [link removed] ]Invite foreign interference in our elections
* [ [link removed] ]Roll back checks and balances
* [ [link removed] ]Take away workers’ rights to organize
* [ [link removed] ]Enact a de facto national abortion ban
* And more…
This election is not just about the names at the top of the ticket (though
Trump is uniquely reprehensible), it is about the entire incoming
administration, the House, the Senate, and the courts. It is about
governing for the people, not [ [link removed] ]planning a “second American Revolution”
like Trump’s not-so-silent partners -- the architects of Project 2025.
As the conversation continues to develop around the debate and its
fallout, it’s important for all of us to remember that our North Star is
defeating MAGA, electing a Democratic majority, enacting democracy reform,
and codifying reproductive freedoms.
We’ll work through the turmoil because we know that our future is not
dependent upon one person at the top, it is guided by the actions each and
every one of us takes every day toward a better future.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

Your weekly to-dos
[ [link removed] ]Emergency SCOTUS Response National Phonebank Thursday, July 11 at 7pm
ET/4pm PT
1. [ [link removed] ]Register for our Emergency SCOTUS Response National Phonebank this
Thursday, July 11 at 7pm ET/4pm PT. With Trump’s hand-picked Supreme
Court justices declaring him above the law, it’s now more important
than ever to ensure he never sees the inside of the Oval Office again.
Join us as we call voters in Pennsylvania to make sure they know just
how disastrous a second Trump presidency would be.
2. [ [link removed] ]Register for our National Phonebank for Raquel Terán on Wednesday,
July 17 at 9:30pm ET/6:30pm PT. To stop the MAGA agenda, we have to do
more than just defeat Trump -- we need to hold the Senate, and win
back the House to enact democracy reforms and enshrine reproductive
freedoms. That means pulling out all the stops for our battleground
candidates. Help us elect a true fighter for justice and equality by
joining our national phonebank into AZ-03 next Wednesday.
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 count on small dollar donors to help fund this movement! If you're
able, [ [link removed] ]please pitch in today to support the grassroots organizing that
powers our progressive wins.

SCOTUS Corruption Week of Action
American democracy is in crisis. The United States Supreme Court -- the
highest court in our land -- has been stacked with a MAGA supermajority
and plagued by corruption and undue influence from far-right billionaires.
During this disastrous 2024 SCOTUS term, MAGA justices:
* Criminalized homelessness
* Overturned a ban on bump stocks
* Empowered themselves to make policy decisions instead of agency
experts
* Sent two abortion cases back to the lower courts to stall the
decisions, giving MAGA judges more opportunities to restrict abortion
access and continuing to let states implement more abortion and
reproductive care bans
* Made it harder for the Department of Justice to prosecute January 6th
insurrectionists
* And agreed that Trump has immunity for his crimes related to January
6th, ensuring that his federal trials will be stalled until after the
election
It’s completely unsurprising that the MAGA justices ruled in favor of big
corporations, special interests, and Donald Trump -- they’ve demonstrated
time and again that’s where their loyalties lie, not to the Constitution
or the American people.
Congress has oversight of the Court. They cannot afford to wait any longer
to use their power and rein in SCOTUS corruption. The Senate Judiciary
Committee must act now to combat the unethical behavior and corruption in
our highest court.
Join us, alongside partner Free Speech For People, for a Week of Action to
root out SCOTUS corruption.
[ [link removed] ]Congress: Do your job and hold SCOTUS accountable.
[ [link removed] ]Call your senator and ask them to call on the Senate Judiciary
Committee to do its job and hold these justices accountable. Whether it’s
Alito flying insurrectionist flags, Thomas receiving lavish gifts from
MAGA extremists, or Roberts letting it all happen under his watch, SCOTUS
has a problem and it is the job of the Senate Judiciary Committee to clean
it up.
It is not enough to know that corruption is rampant on the Court: Our
elected officials must be doing everything in their power to root it out
-- even if that means subpoenaing SCOTUS justices. Take a moment to defend
our democracy by making a call 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.
[ [link removed] ]Thousands of Palestinians are fleeing Gaza City following new
evacuation orders by the Israeli military and an increase in bombing over
the weekend.
At the same time, ceasefire negotiations are still ongoing, though
[ [link removed] ]Netanyahu is now insisting that a ceasefire not prevent his regime
from continuing to fight until their war goals are met. How do you
negotiate a ceasefire that doesn’t guarantee a cessation of military
aggression? You don’t. Netanyahu is continuing to act in his own self
interest rather than in the interests of the remaining hostages, the
Israeli people, and the security of the entire region.
The Biden administration continues to insist that the Israeli government
is on board for a ceasefire agreement, yet Netanyahu behaves otherwise.
He’s a corrupt, bad-faith negotiator, and the US must exert more pressure
to close this ceasefire deal as urgently as possible.
For that to happen, the United States must use its considerable leverage
to actually push Netanyahu and that means withholding offensive weapons.
Now is not the time for Netanyahu to address Congress and try to secure
political support for his tenuous grip over Israel. Now is the time to
work toward peace.
[ [link removed] ]Call your senator and demand they say no to Netanyahu, skip his
congressional address, and use every bit of leverage the US can muster
toward a ceasefire.

Indivisible Civics' Truth Brigade
[ [link removed] ]Indivisible Truth Brigade Big Truths Call -- DEI Lies, Busted with
special guest Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin on Wednesday July 10 at 6:30pm
ET/3:30pm PT
[ [link removed] ]Register for this month’s Big Truths Call: DEI Lies, Busted! with
special guest Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin this Wednesday, July 10 at
6:30pm ET/3:30pm PT. Disinformation has woven its way into every corner of
the socio-political landscape across the country, and the lies about
diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are particularly craven. DEI
programs educate and unify; lies about them keep us in the dark and
divided. It’s time to bust the DEI lies with [ [link removed] ]special guest Elizabeth
Cronise McLaughlin! In this month’s call, Elizabeth will help us
understand DEI historically, expose tactics used by bad actors to
undermine and outlaw DEI efforts, and ground us in an awareness of DEI’s
profound impact. Then, we’ll take action -- because understanding may be
difficult, but common ground on issues like belonging and fairness is easy
to find, and we can shift the narrative.
