Hey Indivisibles -- No intro from Ezra this week!

We know a lot of folks love our co-founder Ezra Levin’s weekly
introduction to this newsletter, but others like to skip the preamble and
get right to work on action items. A few even write back -- some quite
politely, some a bit more colorfully -- to ask that we shorten things up a
bit.

That’s totally OK! We appreciate feedback of all kinds, and we really want
to make this newsletter as useful and interesting as possible. So today
we’re doing things differently and asking for your thoughts directly:

[ [link removed] ]Tell us what you’d prefer in your inbox each Monday! Do you want a
shorter newsletter that skips right to to-dos, or do you want to keep
hearing from Ezra?

Maybe we’ll keep things just as they are. Maybe we’ll add a shorter option
-- just for those who prefer we stick to key action items and updates.

That really depends on how you folks respond, so [ [link removed] ]please click here to
take the newsletter survey and tell us if you want Ezra’s intros.

[ [link removed] ]Take the survey

And now… read on for your weekly to-dos!

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your weekly to-dos

 1. [ [link removed] ]Email your senators -- Republicans and Democrats -- to demand they
speak out LOUDLY against the No Contempt Clause! The GOP hid a
reckless [ [link removed] ]provision to shield Trump officials from contempt of court
in their Medicaid-slashing megabill. We need to get Republican
senators on the record about that sneak-attack on democracy -- and
push Democrats to disrupt Republicans’ anti-democracy agenda with
every tool at their disposal.
 2. [ [link removed] ]Call folks in key states to connect them with GOP senators and
disrupt the Republican Tax Scam. As the Senate rewrites the
reconciliation bill, we’re making sure vulnerable senators hear from
their angry constituents by calling people to connect them directly to
senators' offices! Phonebanks happen weekly, and anyone can join with
just a phone and computer. [ [link removed] ]Here’s a recorded phonebank training to
hit the ground running!
 3. [ [link removed] ]Sign up for a No Kings protest next Saturday, June 14, to defy
Trump’s tyranny and rain on his self-serving birthday parade. As Trump
hosts his un-American military parade in DC, we’re rising up
everywhere else -- at 1,400 local events and counting -- to show him
and our fellow Americans what real power looks like.
 4. [ [link removed] ]“Get Your People to No Kings” with a virtual training led by Vote
Save America -- tonight, June 2, 8pm ET / 5pm PT. Join some familiar
faces tonight for an online workshop that’ll give you a concrete plan
to recruit your friends and make your local No Kings event huge. Can’t
make it? That’s OK! Recordings will be posted on YouTube and the
[ [link removed] ]No Kings trainings page.
 5. [ [link removed] ]Join a “What’s the Plan” call (Thursdays, 3pm ET / 12pm PT) to ask
Leah and Ezra your questions about reconciliation, No Kings, and more!
Each Thursday, our co-founders jump online to break down the news,
draw inspiration from Indivisibles’ work, and answer your questions
directly. Come be part of a free-flowing, interactive chat about
what’s next in our fight for democracy.

P.S. It’s a key moment in our fight to stop the Republican Tax Scam, and
we’ve rolled out billboards, phonebanks, door knocking, digital programs,
and more! Grassroots giving has already helped expand our efforts in big
ways, but if you can spare it, [ [link removed] ]you can chip in today to fund
billboards and nationwide organizing to defeat the Medicaid-killing MAGA
agenda.

This week's update on the Republican Tax Scam

We’ve written A LOT about Republicans’ reconciliation bill since our last
newsletter, including detailed breakdowns of [ [link removed] ]what’s next after the
House voted and [ [link removed] ]the “No Contempt Clause” meant to shield Trump from
court rulings. We’ll keep this week’s update pretty short by comparison.

The Senate is [ [link removed] ]about to “take a sledgehammer” to the bill that passed
in the House, and that’s really good for two reasons:

 1. Some of House Republicans’ craziest and most dangerous provisions
could be killed in the Senate -- whether that’s due to the Senate’s
[ [link removed] ]complex reconciliation rules or to the [ [link removed] ]many disagreements
between hard-right House Republicans and vulnerable Senate
Republicans.
 2. The bill needs to pass the House a second time, and every change in
the Senate makes that so, so much harder. Speaker Mike Johnson spent
weeks doling out concessions and striking delicate deals to earn the
crucial YES votes he needed. Many of those are about to be smashed in
the Senate, and his entire house of cards could collapse -- dooming
the bill entirely.

Our goal right now is putting unrelenting political pressure on Senate
Republicans so we can maximize the changes and draw the process out as
long as possible. One way you can help is by making sure key senators hear
from their constituents.

[ [link removed] ]Join a phonebank to connect voters in key states directly to their
Republican senators. Our phonebankers help ensure Senate Republicans are
completely overwhelmed with messages opposing their Medicaid-slashing tax
scam.

Phonebanks like these can only be held on weekdays during business hours, when
senate phonelines are staffed, but we understand that many volunteers can’t
join us at those times!

If you can’t join a phonebank, you can still take action anytime: [ [link removed] ]Send
your Republican senator an email or [ [link removed] ]write to your Republican
representative. Then, share those links with friends and neighbors to multiply
your impact.
