Hey y’all,

It’s Sarah, one of the co-founders of Indivisible -- or, if you’re new
here and have been joining the #WomenWednesday calls with Shannon Watts,
Leah Greenberg, and (very) exciting guests, you may know me as the Sarah
in the chat with the emojis. 💅 👋 🥳

The last few weeks have been wild in the best possible way. A few weeks
ago, following the incredible Win With Black Women call hosted by Jotaka
Eaddy, we offered to help host one of the subsequent calls for Harris that
activated a ton of people and broke Zoom. Suddenly, a lot of folks started
asking us to support their big, pro-Harris events. After White Women for
Harris, there was AAPI for Harris. Then lawyers and realtors.
Appalachians. Soon (fingers crossed), Swifties.

A few weeks later, one thing is clear: A lot of people are showing up for
Vice President Harris and Coach Walz. Like, a lot, a lot. 

Here’s the thing -- with all this incredible energy and impeccable
vibes-shifting comes the need for resources to keep the engine running
(did you know a one-month subscription to a Zoom account that can hold all
the women and Swifties and realtors and Appalachians costs $30,000?
Honestly, until last month, I didn’t know that either). Because we’re not
just hosting Zoom calls, y’all. Zoom calls alone are not going to be what
wins this election. 

We’re channeling all that energy out there in the world into real,
on-the-ground organizing, targeted digital campaigns, and relentless voter
outreach in every corner of this country. And I’m deeply proud of this
work -- so I’m going to tell you a little more about it. [ [link removed] ]And yes, I'm
going to ask you to chip in to fund it.

The idea for All in for Harris Action Teams grew out of our new weekly
Women Wednesday Zooms with Shannon Watts. And in just the last week, more
than 535 people signed up to start a team in their community. Kamala
Kweens in Piedmont, South Carolina. Cincy Women for Harris in Ohio. Viva
Las Vegas for Harris in Nevada. Pittsburgh Women for Harris in
Pennsylvania. EAUYeah in Eau Claure, Wisconsin. Joyful Warriors of North
Broward in Lighthouse Point, Florida. You get the idea. 👇

teams.

Over the last 9 days, our organizing team has been digging in with these
new teams (on top of our thousands of existing Indivisible groups in every
state across the country):

* 📱Having 1:1 calls to make sure these new Action Team leaders feel
ready and resourced for what’s ahead.
* 🖥️ Setting them up with phonebanks that they can host in their homes
with their teams calling into presidential battleground states. 
* 🏡Supporting their work to put together [ [link removed] ]All in for Harris House
Parties next week during the convention (and making many, many bingo
cards, which [ [link removed] ]you should download if you haven’t already).

Real-talk: The new investments that I’ve approved in the last week to turn
all this energy into on-the-ground organizing add up to $500,000 over and
above the $7 million Indivisible planned to spend this year to elect
Kamala Harris, retake our Democratic House majority, and keep the Senate.
[ [link removed] ]That means (really), I need your help (you can click here to chip in). 

If you’re new here, one of the things you may not know is that Indivisible
depends on small-dollar donations to keep all this work moving (seriously
-- it’s the single largest source of funds powering our work). We’re never
going to spam you with messages about midnight deadlines or 700% matches
from super secret Democratic donors. But that means when we need help to
fund this work, we’re going to be honest and transparent with you. 

So, here’s my honest and transparent list of what I’m asking you to fund
today: 

🚪$150,000 to expand our groundbreaking Neighbor2Neighbor relational
canvassing tool to double-down in the presidential battleground states of
Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, and
Wisconsin. This will allow us to recruit more volunteers and knock on more
doors to talk to voters about Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and all that’s at
stake this November. ([ [link removed] ]If you want to find out if you live in a
Neighbor2Neighbor state or House district, [ [link removed] ]check here!)

☎️$50,000 to launch our new weekly All in for Harris phonebanks, where
folks anywhere can talk to voters in presidential battlegrounds -- [ [link removed] ]like
Nevada next Friday! (We’re also going to be adding additional
VoteFWD/Indivisible letter-writing parties for those of you who want to
write to voters.)

💻$20,000 in web improvements to make it as easy as possible for folks
across the country to find the most strategic way to take action based on
where they live. Honestly, this is something I’ve wanted to do for a long
time, but right now, it’s critical. Starting next week, when you visit our
website, all you’ll have to do is plug in your zip code and we’ll tell you
the three most important things for you to do right now to elect Vice
President Harris and Coach Walz. This may sound simple, but it’s a
significant improvement to make getting to work as easy as possible for
new activists.

😍$80,000 to send Indivisible groups and Action Teams in key battleground
states yard signs, t-shirts with QR codes, flyers, and stickers so that
they can spread the word about the work that needs to happen between now
and November, onboard new members to knock doors with us, and talk to as
many voters as possible before the election.

💸$75,000 to expand our peer-to-peer texting program in key House
districts, Senate states, and presidential battlegrounds to recruit folks
who are energized about this election but unsure how to plug in to real,
on-the-ground, grassroots organizing work happening near them.

🙋$35,000 to expand our organizing presence and staff in Michigan,
Wisconsin, Georgia, Florida, Nevada, and Montana. Indivisible’s organizers
are the best in the business, and they get a lot done. But right now, as
we expand the numbers of volunteers we’re working with in presidential
battlegrounds and key Senate states (think: Arizona, Ohio, Montana,
Florida, and Texas), we could use some extra support to do even more.

…and a lot more.

[ [link removed] ]But more honestly and transparency: I really can’t do it without your
help. So if you're able, please chip in what you can today to power the
work to reach voters in the battleground states, competitive House
districts, and Senate states that we need to win.

I know that you’ve likely already given a few gifts to the Harris campaign
and other organizations just like Indivisible doing incredible work across
the country to win this November. And I know that you get a lot of asks
like this from people just like me in your inboxes and via text messages.
The truth is that it’s all important work. And it all costs money. 

None of us sending these emails can guarantee a victory on November 5th.
But here’s what I can promise if you decide to become an investor in
Indivisible’s work: I will make sure that it’s spent in the most strategic
way, and in the most strategic place, to make it more likely that I’m
emailing you on November 6th about all we’re about to achieve under
President Kamala Harris.

Now, LFG. And thank you.

In solidarity,
Sarah Dohl
Chief Campaigns Officer & Co-Founder, Indivisible
