Indivisibles,
Alright, let’s cut right to the chase: With just 42 days until the
election, we’ve hit a point where every single thing we do, or don’t do,
will echo far into the future.
The big news over the past few days? [ [link removed] ]The GOP candidate for governor in
North Carolina is back in the headlines for spewing some horrific stuff
online (we… won’t get into where online). Stuff like calling himself a
“Black Nazi,” spouting anti-trans hatred, and wishing he could own
slaves.
The kicker: Trump called this man “Martin Luther King Jr. on steroids.” He
praised him as one of the greatest leaders in America.
It’s a good reminder of the types of extremists and chaos-agents Trump
surrounds himself with and looks up to (this isn’t even the first
self-proclaimed Nazi Trump has praised!). The types of people Trump would
have in his ear if he wins a second term.
Yet, somehow, the latest polling shows the presidential race is
essentially tied. Damaging stories like this barely move the needle.
Historic debate shellackings like we all enjoyed earlier this month barely
move the needle. Chances are, polling will show it neck and neck until the
end.
Does that mean nothing matters? Quite the opposite -- every little thing
matters because this election will be decided by fractions of percentage
points.
So what do we do? We mobilize. We talk to our neighbors, we volunteer, we
canvass, and most importantly, we vote like our future depends on it --
because it does. Each one of us has a part to play in the story of how we
saved our democracy from the Trumps and Robinsons of this world. Let’s
make sure it’s a story worth telling.
Let's get to work. [ [link removed] ]Ready to jump in right now? Check out our new

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your 5 weekly to-dos
1. [ [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.
2. [ [link removed] ]Speaking of North Carolina, register now for our NC phonebanking
session on Tuesday, October 1 at 5:30pm ET/2:30pm PT. We'll be calling
voters to make sure they're ready to show up and show out for Kamala
and Tim in a critical swing state.
3. [ [link removed] ]Join us alongside partner Vote Forward for a virtual letter-writing
party on Thursday, October 3 at 7pm ET/4pm 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.
4. [ [link removed] ]If you’re eligible, sign up for Neighbor2Neighbor. Neighbor to
neighbor is not just a tool, it's our not-so-secret weapon of empathy
and reason, personalizing the political and establishing bonds amid
the never-ending barrage of ads and flyers. It's simple. It's quick.
And, it's a fun way 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. 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.

Preventing another January 6th
[ [link removed] ]Register for our National Call featuring Rep. Jamie Raskin, our own
Ezra Levin, and the creators of The Sixth on Tuesday, October 8 at 8pm
ET/5pm PT. We’re opening up our final Majority Over MAGA Action Team call
to the full network because we think this is a panel you won’t want to
miss. January 6th was a modern tragedy and a dire warning of just how far
MAGA will go to take over our democracy. Hear from Rep. Jamie Raskin --
who was in the Capitol during the attempted insurrection -- alongside Ezra
Levin and The Sixth documentary filmmakers Andrea Nix Fine and Sean Fine
about the legacy of that fateful day and what we need to do now to defeat
MAGA and make sure nothing close to it happens again.

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, Israeli media reported that PM Netanyahu is
[ [link removed] ]considering a plan that would deploy “siege tactics” on northern Gaza.
The plan reportedly would involve a large-scale evacuation of Palestinian
civilians in the north, including the densely populated Gaza City. While
Netanyahu has not publicly committed to this plan, it is “under
consideration” and has support by some members of the Israeli parliament.
Clearly, this would be a step in the wrong direction -- and a step farther
away from a ceasefire agreement that ends the war and returns all hostages
to their loved ones.
Currently, the majority of Gaza’s population has already been displaced by
Israeli military operations and bombings. Humanitarian access to northern
Gaza is severely limited, causing shortages of food, clean water, medical
supplies, and other basics for civilians running and sheltering from the
conflict. Further invasions, evacuations, or sieges would undoubtedly
result in further catastrophic loss of Palestinian civilian life.
It’s not clear if Netanyahu will go through with this plan in northern
Gaza. But it is clear that the reality on the ground right now is causing
devastating civilian casualties and making everyone -- Israelis,
Palestinians, and everyone in the region -- less safe. The United States
must use every ounce of leverage, including withholding offensive weapons,
to finalize a ceasefire agreement and save lives.
