Indivisibles,
[ [link removed] ]The energy behind Kamala Harris’ candidacy continues: over 38,000 new
voters registered in the 48 hours after the announcement of her candidacy,
and that number jumped to over 100,000 within the week. And, in addition
to the incredible fundraising moment Kamala has inspired, [ [link removed] ]Democratic
parties in battleground states are also seeing a surge in volunteer
signups.
I don’t know if you’re as energized as we are, but we’re ready to win this
thing! And we haven’t even gotten to her next big announcement yet.
In the next 24 hours, Kamala will be announcing her running mate.
Regardless of which of the finalists she chooses, we’re ecstatic to know
that we will have a complete ticket we can rally behind. Each potential VP
on her short list brings a wealth of experience and expertise and would
help deliver the battleground votes Harris will need to pull this off.
In a race that just a month ago felt, to some, like a rehash of 2020, we
are watching a new wave of Democratic leaders take center stage -- and the
future looks bright.
Now is the time to keep capitalizing on this wave. Some of you have been
with us since 2016, some of you just signed up last week, but all of us
stand behind a commitment to making this world a little brighter. There
are so many more people out there right now looking for a way to do the
same. Let’s show them the Indivisible way.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

Your 5 weekly to-dos
[ [link removed] ]Phonebank for George Whitesides Tuesday Aug 6 6:30pm ET
1. [ [link removed] ]TOMORROW! Register for our national phonebank in support of George
Whitesides for CA-27 Tuesday, August 6 at 6:30pm ET/3:30pm PT.
Whitesides is running for one of the 18 most competitive House seats
up this cycle against MAGA Republican Mike Garcia. It is not enough to
elect Kamala Harris to the Oval Office. We need to deliver her a
Democratic Congress who can make her agenda a reality. Help us call
into CA-27 to turn this November into a blue wave.
2. [ [link removed] ]Register for Women Wednesdays for Harris weekly at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm
PT through the election. Every Wednesday through Election Day, we will
be partnering on a national call bringing together women from all
across the country to build community, strategize, and share tools to
drive a Harris victory in November. Each call will feature special
guest speakers that you won’t want to miss (we’ve already seen P!nk
and Megan Rapinoe). This week’s call will focus on initial steps to
organize locally and table setting for your people. Future potential
topics include how to take action immediately, navigating social
media, relational organizing, and more.
3. [ [link removed] ]Check out our new Project 2025 resources. You asked for more
specific resources on Project 2025, its impact, and how we need to
talk about it to win in November, and we answered. Project 2025 is the
most thorough blueprint we have ever seen from MAGA Republicans on how
they plan to strip away our rights, protections, and freedoms if they
achieve power. But as dangerous as their plan is for the American
people, it is just as damaging to their electability. But only when
people know about it. We have to make sure people understand just how
extreme Project 2025 intends to be, and here’s your literature to do
it.
* [ [link removed] ]Project 2025 Explained -- An in-depth analysis of the MAGA
playbook
* [ [link removed] ]25 Things to Know About Project 2025 -- A quick list of 25
extreme things MAGA Republicans have planned with Project 2025
* [ [link removed] ]Talking About Project 2025 -- Key messaging strategies for
educating voters about Project 2025 and ensuring they understand
the stakes
4. [ [link removed] ]Sign up to reach voters in key races 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.
5. [ [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.

Majority Over MAGA Book Talk with Ari Berman
[ [link removed] ]Register for Co-Executive Director Ezra Levin’s conversation with Ari
Berman -- author of Minority Rule -- on Wednesday, September 4 at 5pm
ET/2pm PT.
The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, represented an
extreme form of the central danger facing American democracy today: a
blatant disregard for the will of the majority.
This crisis didn’t begin or end with Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn
the 2020 election. Through voter suppression, election subversion,
gerrymandering, dark money, the takeover of the courts, and the
whitewashing of history, reactionary white conservatives have
strategically entrenched power in the face of a massive demographic and
political shift. Ari Berman charts these efforts with sweeping historical
research and incisive on-the-ground reporting, chronicling how a wide
range of antidemocratic tactics interact with profound structural
inequalities in institutions like the Electoral College, the Senate, and
the Supreme Court to threaten the survival of representative government in
America.
And, surprise, we are offering a free copy of Minority Rule to the first
250 people who register for the event.
Chilling and revelatory, Minority Rule exposes the long history of the
conflict between white supremacy and multiracial democracy that has
reached a fever pitch today -- while also telling the inspiring story of
resistance to these regressive efforts. [ [link removed] ]Sign up for the book

Demand Your Members of Congress Call For A Ceasefire
**Content Warning: Talk about the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Jump to the line break if you need to avoid this topic.**
Netanyahu’s military executed an air strike on a school on Sunday, killing
30 Palestinians and wounding dozens more.
[ [link removed] ]According to The New York Times: This was the third attack on a school
in four days.
While the Israeli military claims, once again, that the school was a
command center for Hamas, the school had been used as a shelter for
displaced Palestinians. And in the end, most of the victims were women and
children.
As Netanyahu continues to prolong a conflict that everyone wants to end,
it is innocent children who are suffering the most.
Meanwhile, it has been reported in Israeli media that Biden told Netanyahu
to “stop bullshitting me” and make a ceasefire deal. [ [link removed] ]Biden himself has
expressed that he had a “very direct” meeting with Netanyahu as
Netanyahu’s government and military continue to fan the flames of a larger
regional conflict.
The framework for a ceasefire has existed for some time now. It’s past
time that Netanyahu came to the table in an honest effort to get it done.
It’s time for the hostages to come home. It’s time for peace.
We need to turn up the pressure on our elected officials to use every
ounce of leverage to secure a ceasefire -- that means withholding
offensive military assistance from Netanyahu until he comes to the table
with a true goal of peace.
We have updated our contact resources to reflect the current situation.
Now we need you to call and email your representatives, and push them to
act. The US cannot sit idly by while schools are being bombed. It’s past
time to stop this bloodshed.
