Indivisibles,

Do you remember this?

This was the moment CBS called the 2016 election for Trump. Indivisible was started in the aftermath of that loss, when a few former congressional staffers put together a Google doc for resisting the Trump presidency. People ran with it, thousands of local groups sprang up around the country, and the rest is history.

So many of the people who joined Indivisible groups in those first few weeks had never been politically active before. They wished they’d done more in the lead up to the election to prevent Trump from becoming president in the first place. That’s probably true for most of us -- and it’s one of the enduring lessons from the last eight years.

As a movement that started in resistance to Trump, we know it’s easier to beat him at the ballot box than to resist him after he’s stacked the government with his Project 2025 appointees. 

That’s why we’re working so hard to provide volunteer opportunities to Indivisibles everywhere, so no one wakes up November 6 wishing they’d done more. 

• If you haven’t already, check if our Neighbor2Neighbor canvassing tool is available in your area, and sign up to knock 10 doors. 
• Next, sign up for one of our upcoming phonebanks to contact voters in swing states and districts. 
• It’s also not too late in the cycle to find Indivisible groups in your area who are hosting postcard writing parties and other election events. 

And if you’ve already done all that, there’s still one more thing you can do to help defeat Trump this November: 

• Donate so we can get more people taking action between now and Election Day. There are so many folks out there who already share our values and beliefs. They care about democracy and reproductive rights. They’re voting for Harris/Walz and Democrats downballot. And they probably would take action if someone invited them to and gave them the tools and the opportunity. 

A core part of our election work is recruiting new volunteers -- and new Indivisibles -- to take action in their communities, grow the movement, and reach even more voters. And we’re doing it in a few different ways: 

• 🏘️ We built a whole new voter contact tool -- Neighbor2Neighbor -- that isn’t just wildly effective but also makes voter contact work more accessible and less intimidating for first-time doorknockers.
• 🖥️ We updated our website to make it even easier for folks to find the most effective tools available in their area. 
• 📲 We’re running digital recruitment and peer-to-peer texting to recruit new volunteers in the battleground states where they’re needed most. 
• 📢 We’re hiring five new organizers to provide even more support for the folks who do sign up to volunteer. 
• 📋 We’re continuing to provide funding and resources for local Indivisible groups across the country who are doing incredible work not just talking to voters but also recruiting and training new members. 

But none of this work is possible without the support of our grassroots donors. So if you’re committed to helping us win in November, pitch in so we can turn more voters into volunteers.
