Indivisibles,
Yesterday, the Trump campaign offered its closing message to voters via a
marathon rally at Madison Square Garden. It was a message of division and
hate as speakers disparaged Puerto Ricans, Black Americans, immigrants,
transgender people, Jews, Palestinians, and women. Trump once again
labeled Democrats the “enemies within” while his guests called Kamala
Harris “the Antichrist” and -- somehow -- even more offensive things than
that.
It was an event so fascistic, misogynistic, and xenophobic that news
outlets have dispensed with their usual euphemisms and are calling it out
for the racist hate rally it was.
Some have argued that Trump whiffed at the chance to present his vision of
the future to voters. He didn’t. This was his vision. The event perfectly
captured the danger and divisiveness we can expect from a second Trump
term. Many are connecting it with the darkest chapters of our history, but
the more horrifying fact is that this was a glimpse not just into the
past, but our future if MAGA wins.
Thankfully, we can wash the taste of that rally from our collective palate
tomorrow night, when Kamala Harris offers voters another, very different
vision for our country. Her closing argument, to be delivered from the
site where Trump unleashed the mob on January 6th, will offer a vision of
an America where democracy is upheld, where reproductive rights are
protected, healthcare is accessible to all, and families are supported to
live, thrive, and prosper. Her message will be one of unity, inclusion,
and progress -- a powerful contrast to Trump’s rally of hatred and
grievance.
In the end though, many of the voters we need to win will hear little
about either event. It’s up to us to carry the closing message to every
voter by knocking on doors and making calls, ensuring that the contrast
between these candidates and the stakes of the election are heard loud and
clear.
With only 8 days left before Election Day, the urgency of this moment
cannot be overstated. The race is close, two vastly different futures are
possible, but the outcome remains within the margin of effort.
With that, read on for your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your 5 weekly to-dos

Neighbor2Neighbor program is twice as effective as traditional
door-to-door canvassing, connecting you with 10 likely-Democratic
voters right in your neighborhood. Your first 10 neighbors (or next
10, if you’ve already volunteered) are waiting, so sign up now!
2. [ [link removed] ]Call-o-ween! Call NY voters on Wednesday, October 30 at 6pm ET/3pm
PT. The path to taking back the House runs through New York. Let’s
scare the pants off of MAGA Republicans by joining fellow
Indivisibles for our Call-o-ween phonebank to call voters to support
Harris/Walz and congressional candidates Laura Gillen (NY-04),
Mondaire Jones (NY-17), and Josh Riley (NY-19).
3. [ [link removed] ]Call voters in North Carolina on Sunday, November 3 at 1pm ET/10am
PT. Trump won NC in 2020 by an incredibly slim margin and recent
polls show this race is within the margin of error. Join us in
contacting NC voters to make sure they turn out for Kamala and Tim --
the voters we contact now could push this purple state in the right
direction!
4. [ [link removed] ]Join Indivisible co-founders Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg for a
special pre-election coffee klatch on Monday, November 4 at 3pm
ET/12pm PT to take a deep breath and plan for Election Day (before
knocking a few more doors or doing one more phonebanking shift)! Leah
and Ezra will discuss what to expect, the best news sources to follow
the results, and how to interpret returns.
5. [ [link removed] ]Phonebank with podcasters on Monday, November 4 at 4pm ET/1pm PT.
Join Indivisible and Andrea Chalupa of Gaslit Nation as we join
forces to save our democracy in 2024! We’ll be calling voters in
states like Montana and Nebraska that have crucial races that could
determine control of the Senate.
P.S. -- With the race as close as it is and just eight days to go, our
volunteers can use all the support they can get. [ [link removed] ]If you’re able to

need to get out the vote and win this election.

Upcoming Week of Action
Indivisibles are going all in November 1 - November 5 for our Every Last
Door Week of Action. During these crucial last days, we are asking group
leaders, activists, and volunteers to get out the vote for Kamala Harris
and Tim Walz, and Democrats up and down the ballot by knocking on doors in
their own neighborhoods or contacting voters in critical battleground
states.
Our Neighbor2Neighbor program makes it easy to get out the vote. And sure,
we say all the time how it’s twice as effective as normal canvassing, but
you don’t have to take it from us -- [ [link removed] ]Rolling Stone said this weekend
that this program could potentially be the thing that wins this election
for Kamala.
[ [link removed] ]Check out our toolkit for everything you need to know about our week of
action, and then get out there to knock some doors!
