Indivisibles,

With only 29 days until the election, the future of our democracy teeters on a razor’s edge. As early voting begins across the nation -- with 9 states already underway -- we find ourselves caught in a spiral of constant news-watching and poll-checking, fueled by the burning question: Will we win??? The truth is -- we don't know!

As Leah wrote over the weekend: “We’re tantalizingly close to a win that can deliver a Harris presidency and the Democratic majorities needed to enshrine reproductive freedom, democracy reform and voting rights, and a bold economic agenda to help working families…

And we’re also terrifyingly close to a loss that puts the architects of Project 2025 in office and us back in a desperate fight for our democracy.”

We are faced with a clear choice, not just between candidates, but between two diverging paths for our nation. And let's be unequivocal -- the outcome hinges not on fate, but on the effort each of us is willing to put in. 

Now is not the time for hesitation or doubt. It’s time for work. 

So let’s make these final weeks count. Whether it's making calls, texting voters, or knocking on doors, your participation can -- and will -- make the difference. 

With that, read on for your weekly to-dos:

 Your 5 weekly to-dos 

1. Call Florida Voters for Kamala on Tuesday, October 15 at 6pm ET/3pm PT. Florida is home to one of the most competitive red-to-blue Senate pickup opportunities of the election and could very well decide control of the chamber -- help us reach out to Sunshine State voters in support of Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and Kamala Harris.
2. Indivisible and Gaslit Nation Phone Bank October 17 at 7pm ET/4pm PT. Join Indivisible and Andrea Chalupa of Gaslit Nation for a phonebank into key states like Montana and Missouri.
3. Call Ohio Voters for Sherrod Brown and Kamala Harris on Monday, October 21 at 6:30pm ET/3:30pm PT. If we hope to hold our Senate majority, it's critical we do everything we can to re-elect Sherrod Brown this November! Join our phonebank into Ohio and help us reach out to voters in support of Sherrod Brown for US Senate and Kamala Harris for President.
4. 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. There’s not much time left, sign up now and let’s bring home the win! 
5. Check out the “Citizens Toolkit for Fighting Project 2025”. Understanding Project 2025 is just the first step in fighting it. Check out the toolkit for message guidance on the MAGA playbook and what specific actions you can take in your own community to hold MAGA members of Congress accountable.

Preventing Another January 6th

Register for our National Call featuring Rep. Jamie Raskin, our own Ezra Levin, and the creators of The Sixth tomorrow, October 8 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. We’re opening up our final Majority Over MAGA Action Team call to the full Indivisible network because we think this is a panel you won’t want to miss. January 6th was a modern tragedy and a dire showing of the lengths to which MAGA extremists will stretch to hijack our democracy. Hear from Rep. Jamie Raskin -- who was in the Capitol during the attempted insurrection -- alongside Ezra Levin and the powerhouse duo behind The Sixth documentary, filmmakers Andrea Nix Fine and Sean Fine. Join us tomorrow as we dissect the dark shadow of that day and light up the path forward, making sure nothing close to January 6th ever happens again.

 Women Wednesdays for Harris

Register for Women Wednesdays for Harris this Wednesday at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT and every week through the election. This week, we’ll be celebrating and uplifting women organizers doing crucial work in red states -- and talking about how folks in blue states can lend a hand. Know someone who lives in a red state? Bring them along or pass this email on to them!

We’ll hear from special guests like Tennessee State Rep. Gloria Johnson, actress Gina Torres, and activists on the front lines of these organizing efforts about how they are overcoming party polarization to bring people together over shared values and a positive vision for the future.

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.

 Fated States 

Join Indivisible and the Fated Mates Podcast team to reach out to voters in Arizona this Saturday, October 12 at 1pm ET/10am PT. Indivisible is teaming up with the Fated Mates romance podcast for their fourth year of Fated States: phonebanking parties for Democratic candidates up and down the ticket!

There will be fun conversation about romance novels, giveaways, and special guests appearing while we reach out to voters and save democracy. Hosted by Sarah MacLean (bestselling romance novelist) and Jen Prokop (romance critic and editor), these phonebanks are two hours long and open to all.

 IndivisiWin of the Week 

Last month, Michigan groups Indivisible Traverse and Leelanau Indivisible teamed up to co-host a Celebration of Democracy in rural Michigan -- over 30 local progressive orgs showed up to build community with residents and each other.

A Message from Indivisible's Leah Greenberg on the One-Year Anniversary of the October 7th Attack

“Today, we mourn the Israeli, American, and other lives taken in Hamas’ horrific attack of October 7th, and stand with the victims -- those who lost their lives, lost family, were taken hostage and have been killed since, and those who remain in captivity. We join with the families of remaining hostages in calling for their immediate release and for a ceasefire deal that would bring them home. We recognize the pain of this day for our Jewish community and members, compounded by the rise in antisemitism around the world, and hold in our hearts everyone who is grieving for family or friends lost or harmed.

In the year since October 7th, the Netanyahu government’s military response has taken an horrendous toll on Gaza’s people, with tens of thousands of civilians killed, overwhelming numbers of families displaced, large-scale risk of starvation, and suffering on an almost unfathomable scale. Again, a ceasefire and step back from the regional escalation currently underway is desperately needed. And we commit ourselves to linking arms with our Muslim and Arab community members to oppose the dangerous rise of Islamophobia and anti-Arab bigotry, both in the US and globally.

None of this was inevitable. The path to safety and dignity for Israelis and Palestinians alike depends on a different course.

The souls lost in the past year deserve a justice that political leadership has not provided. Extremists on both sides of this conflict have put their political agendas ahead of innocent lives. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly undermined efforts to chart a path for peace and security for everyone in the region -- instead pursuing a brutal military campaign in Gaza that indiscriminately kills Palestinian civilians, including children, refugees, and hospital patients. While families of Israeli hostages beg him to prioritize the return of their loved ones, he instead puts his own political goals first.

Netanyahu’s destructive path has unfortunately received continued support and legitimization from the US government, in the form of diplomatic efforts at the UN and through the direct provision and sale of ammunition, bombs, and other military supplies. While humanitarian aid is restricted by Israeli military operations, the weapons continue to flow unabated. This falls short of our human rights obligations, and pushes further into the future the day when everyone in Israel, Palestine and the entire region can live in safety, security, and dignity. 

The October 7th of today is also a day of mourning. A different path has been available and can still be taken. Indivisible continues to urge the Biden administration to use all the tools and leverage at their disposal to put an immediate end to the bloodshed and finally begin working towards peace.”
