Indivisibles,
What an incredible Democratic National Convention (DNC). The energy was
palpable. The vibes were high (are we cool enough to use “vibes?”). And we
are prepared to usher Vice President Harris and Coach Walz into the White
House.
[ [link removed] ]In case you missed it, Co-Executive Director Ezra Levin wrote a great
wrap up of his “Six takeaways from seeing Dems in astonishing array” here.
But one of the most important takeaways was this:
“We can win big, but we gotta work for it… There is almost a sense of
inevitability. I have to fight that feeling, because I know that none of
this is inevitable. If the polls are just marginally off or the campaign
takes a slight downward turn in the coming weeks, we could lose
Pennsylvania or Michigan or Wisconsin or North Carolina or Georgia or
Nevada or Arizona or all of them.”
Nothing is inevitable.
The convention is over. We have our official candidates. We are in the
homestretch. But, that means we have to work our absolute hardest to
ensure a victory.
And that’s why we are launching our [ [link removed] ]Doors2Debate Weekend of Action
September 6-10.
[ [link removed] ]Doors2Debate: 100,000 doors by September 10
We are just two weeks away from the first presidential debate between Vice
President Harris and Donald Trump on September 10. Before VP Harris takes
the stage, we want to be able to say that Indivisibles have knocked
100,000 doors in battlegrounds across the country along with postcarding,
texting, and all of our other get out the vote work.
But we cannot do that without your help. [ [link removed] ]Use this page to determine
which contact method we need your help with, and sign up ASAP.
We cannot wait. We cannot be complacent with DNC good vibes. If we want
Kamala Harris to be the next president of the United States, we have to
make the possible, inevitable.
And that starts with you.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your 5 weekly to-dos
[ [link removed] ]Indivisible: Join a phonebank
1. [ [link removed] ]Register for our national phonebank tomorrow, Tuesday, August 27 at
5:30pm ET/3:30pm PT. This week, we’ll be calling into Michigan -- one
of the key presidential battlegrounds this election cycle. Help us
bring our incredible Indivisible energy to voters in Michigan and
ensure that Kamala Harris is the next president of the United States.
2. [ [link removed] ]Phonebank with Indivisible into key battlegrounds every week
through election day. We will be hosting phonebanks into key areas all
across the country every week until November 5. We’ll make sure to
always highlight the next upcoming phonebank in these to-dos, but if
you want to get ahead of the curve and block off some dates, use this
page to register for upcoming phonebanks, set up your own phonebank,
or participate in the many other ways we have to contact voters this
election. [ [link removed] ]The next of these phonebanks will be on September 9 into
Florida.
3. [ [link removed] ]Join us alongside partner Vote Forward for a virtual letter writing
party on Friday, September 6 at 3pm ET/12pm PT. We’re writing letters
to voters in key House districts as part of The Big Send -- a
collective effort to send 10 million letters to voters this year. Not
available that day? We have more opportunities to write letters to
voters on [ [link removed] ]September 19 and also [ [link removed] ]October 3.
4. [ [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. This Wednesday will focus
on the most effective ways to share our personal stories. You won’t
want to miss the special guests.
5. [ [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
P.S. Knocking on 100,000 doors doesn't just happen. It takes thousands of
volunteers across dozens of battleground states and districts -- and a
team of data, organizing, and comms experts on staff supporting them every
step of the way. As we set out on our most ambitious doorknocking goal
this cycle, we're counting on our grassroots donors to support our work.
[ [link removed] ]Please pitch in to fuel our grassroots organizing and help us knock on
100,000 doors by Sept 10.

Majority Over MAGA Book Talk with Ari Berman
[ [link removed] ]Minority Rule -- Ari Berman in conversation with Ezra Levin September
4 at 5pm ET
[ [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.
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
conversation today!

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.**
Over the weekend, negotiators in Cairo indicated that they were making
progress toward a ceasefire in discussing [ [link removed] ]“‘final details’ of a
potential agreement.”
This is a good sign. Unfortunately, much as we’ve heard good signs for
months, this does not mean that we are definitely close to a deal. The
stickiest point, according to reports, is Israel’s continued presence in
the Philadelphi corridor along Gaza’s border with Egypt, but any deal
would involve a massive surge in humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in
Gaza and returning hostages to their loved ones.
In a reminder of just how critical it is that a ceasefire is reached as
soon as possible, [ [link removed] ]Israel’s military launched an attack in Lebanon
early Sunday and Hezbollah responded with strikes of their own -- fears of
a larger regional conflict continue to grow with every day an agreement
isn’t reached.
This is why Congress must use every tool at its disposal to force a
ceasefire, the return of the hostages, and unimpeded access to
humanitarian aid including withholding offensive weaponry to Netanyahu’s
government.
If we want to avoid a large-scale regional conflict, Congress must use its
influence to get a deal done. The killing must stop immediately.
Tell your representative that we need a ceasefire today.

[ [link removed] ]Powering Progress Education Series
[ [link removed] ]Join us for Apathy To Action -- Understanding the Threats Our
Democracy Faces tonight, Monday, August 26 at 8pm ET/5pm PT.
What does it mean for democracy to be under attack? Is fear of a descent
toward authoritarianism rational? We’ll be partnering with the Protect
Democracy Project to talk about what these ideas mean in an American
context and walk us through the forecasted implications of what we’re
seeing on a daily basis. We’ll follow that up by exploring what it means
to prepare ourselves, be vigilant for one another, and safeguard our
rights and our democracy moving forward.
