Indivisibles,
Remember that moment at the [ [link removed] ]DNC when future President Kamala Harris
said, "In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man. But the
consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely
serious"? We're seeing this play out right now in Springfield, OH -- where
[ [link removed] ]baseless accusations by Trump and JD Vance against Haitian immigrants
have turned the town upside down.
More than 20 facilities, including schools and government buildings, have
been shut down, closed, or even evacuated due to threats of violence.
Parents have kept their kids at home, fearful for their safety.
This is the MAGA playbook, and it’s as old as time: Divide. Conquer. Turn
people against each other to distract from the threats that really face us
-- in this case, the threat of another Trump presidency guided by Project
2025.
But here's a heartening twist: [ [link removed] ]Springfield is also showing us what it
looks like when people say no to hatred and division and show up for one
another -- locals are sending a loud and clear message of support to the
immigrant community. It’s beautiful, it’s necessary, and it underscores
the need for a powerful counter-narrative of acceptance and collective
action that doesn’t just end when Trump picks a new vulnerable community
to target.
People in Springfield are showing us a vision of the kind of America most
of us want, as Trump, Vance, and others on the right are promoting hate
and chaos -- previews of the “extremely serious” consequences that await
us if Trump is put back in the White House.
As Indivisibles, our fight against divisive rhetoric and for inclusive,
equitable policies cannot be momentary flashes in the pan. Together, we
must transcend division lines, forging an unbreakable front against those
who’d have us view our neighbors as enemies. Let's unite in action to
ensure that the fascistic MAGA agenda finds no foothold in the White House
again. Show up, make noise, and push onward toward victory -- with every
action, every day.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your 5 weekly to-dos
1. [ [link removed] ]Register for our national phonebank into Wisconsin for Kamala
tomorrow, Tuesday, September 17 at 6pm ET/3pm PT. Wisconsin is a key
state in this year’s electoral map, let’s make sure our turnout is
strong enough that Trump can’t even try to steal it again. 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, [ [link removed] ]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.
2. [ [link removed] ]Register for our national phonebank into AZ-06 and CA-27 on
Tuesday, September 24 at 7pm ET/4pm PT. These two races could decide
the fate of the House this election cycle. Let’s capitalize on the
momentum for VP Harris, and make sure we elect a Congress that can
enact her agenda when she’s sworn in.
3. [ [link removed] ]Join us alongside partner Vote Forward for a virtual letter writing
party this Thursday, September 19 at 4pm ET/1pm 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.
There will be ASL interpretation available on this call. Not available
that day? We have another opportunity to [ [link removed] ]write letters to voters on
October 3.
4. [ [link removed] ]If you’re eligible, sign up for Neighbor2Neighbor.
Neighbor2Neighbor is the most effective form of voter contact that
we’ve seen. Connect with your community while ensuring that your
democracy-aligned neighbors get out to vote this year. It’s simple.
It’s quick. And, it’s a fun way to get to meet some of your neighbors
who you have something in common with -- a pro-democracy future.
5. [ [link removed] ]Check out our Donald Did This resource. Roe v. Wade didn’t just
fall on its own, it took years of political maneuvering and explicit
court-packing by Donald Trump to make it happen -- and he’s not done.
Check out this resource for a detailed breakdown of how we got here,
what’s at stake this election, social media resources to bring
attention to Trump’s responsibility for this, and action items to make
sure he never has the opportunity to finish his plans.
P.S. Election Day is just under 2 months away and now's the time when we
need to make big investments in battleground districts and target states.
[ [link removed] ]If you're able, pitch in today to help fund our electoral work and
support the grassroots organizing that could decide this year's election.

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.**
As noted last week, in a tragic incident, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old
US citizen and Washington state resident, was [ [link removed] ]killed by the Israel
Defense Forces (IDF) while protesting in the West Bank. In the week since,
this loss has ignited calls for an independent investigation into her
death and those of nearly two dozen other Americans who have been killed
by the IDF.
Prominent figures in Congress, [ [link removed] ]including Senators Patty Murray and
Bernie Sanders along with Representative Pramila Jayapal, have stepped
forward, insisting on an independent investigation. As Israeli military
operations spread further in the West Bank, the chorus demanding justice
and transparency grows louder.
These legislative leaders understand the gravity of the situation and the
need for action -- It's clear that Netanyahu and his government cannot be
trusted to fully and transparently investigate themselves.
Contact your representatives this week. Urge them to use their power to
secure a ceasefire, the return of all remaining hostages, and the free
administration of humanitarian aid -- and to put an end to Netanyahu’s war
and regional escalations. We must prevent further loss and ensure justice
for all innocent civilians, whether US citizens, Israelis or
Palestinians.
