Indivisibles,

Are you thinking what we’re thinking?

 

 

Tonight’s the night: the Democratic National Convention (DNC) is finally
here! 

This week, we’re excited to hear from a broad range of speakers who are on
Team Biden -- especially our VP candidate, Senator Kamala Harris!

 

Go Kamala, Go Kamala!

 

There’s a lot to look forward to during the DNC, but we’re laser focused:
Windivisible! 

All eyes are on the DNC this week, and people all over the country will be
feeling inspired to defeat Trump in November. We want to welcome those
folks into our movement, so we’re hosting our second Windivisible Week of
Action during the DNC -- starting today, August 17 and running through
August 23. Indivisible groups will be working all week to phonebank and
textbank to get connected with the voters we need to win. 

[ [link removed] ]Sign up here!

You can watch the DNC with us on our streaming platforms from 9-11pm ET:

* [ [link removed] ]DNC Convention Day 1
* [ [link removed] ]DNC Convention Day 2
* [ [link removed] ]DNC Convention Day 3 
* [ [link removed] ]DNC Convention Day 4

And for some extra fun: Windivisible DNC Bingo! Play with your friends and
follow along with other Indivisibles on social media. You can find
different versions of our Bingo cards that you can print or share on
Twitter and Facebook [ [link removed] ]here.

While we wish we could focus on enjoying the DNC and contacting voters to
make this Windivisible Week of Action a success, we can’t rest when our
democratic processes have come under threat. During this once in a century
pandemic, a healthy Postal Service is the only way to keep voting safe and
fair for everyone. Trump knows this, and is holding the Postal Service
hostage for his own political gain by refusing to fund this critical
service and making it as difficult as possible for people to
vote-by-mail. 

This is a direct attack to our democracy and we have to be ready to
respond. Call your Representative TODAY and tell them to save the Postal
Service by supporting the Delivering for America Act. This urgent piece of
legislation would maintain normal service standards as well as the
integrity of our elections and bedrock democratic principles. The House is
back to vote this week, so we need to work fast. Then remember: request
and return your ballots as early as possible to make sure your vote gets
counted. And, because he’s already said he might not, pledge to [ [link removed] ]Protect
the Results if Trump refuses to honor the outcome of the election. 

And with all that, we leave you with your weekly to-dos:

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

 Your 5 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]URGENT: Call your Representative and tell them to save the Postal
Service by supporting the the Delivering for America Act. The House
comes back from recess to vote on this bill this week. We can’t stay
silent on this issue because, without a well-functioning USPS, we
can’t vote by mail ahead of November 3. Trump and the GOP are prepared
to let the Postal Service fail if it means they get to keep power --
this bill tells them we won’t stand for it.
 2. [ [link removed] ]Record a video about why the Postal Service is important to you and
why your representative should cosponsor the Delivering for America
Act. Many Americans depend on mail to meet their basic needs like the
delivery of their medication or their Social Security checks. Trump
wants to make the Postal Service a partisan issue so he can block
mail-in voting all-together, leaving all Americans at a disadvantage.
Tell us your story to help strengthen our mission.
 3. [ [link removed] ]Volunteer to phonebank for the Windivisible campaign to defeat
Trump, take back the Senate, and keep the House. By signing up to
phonebank you can talk to voters directly and drive turnout in
November. After four years of fighting the Trump agenda, this is our
moment to win big -- our democracy depends on it!
 4. [ [link removed] ]Call your Senators to demand they pass the Heroes Act with $25
billion in USPS funding and $3.6 billion in election funding. We
cannot let Trump defund Social Security and steal our elections.
Congress must act NOW and pass the Heroes Act without watering it
down. For more information on the Heroes Act, check out our
[ [link removed] ]explainer where we break down the package and how it will support
vulnerable families during these times.
 5. [ [link removed] ]Get ready for the Democratic National Convention by watching our
latest episode of Indivisible Weekly.  In this episode, Pablo
kicks-off our Week of Action by telling you everything you can expect
from the DNC. Good news: we’ll be sharing a video every day of the DNC
to make sure you don’t miss a thing!

 2020 Update 

Trump is feeling the pressure and has been working to [ [link removed] ]sabotage our
elections for a while. And he has help: Postmaster General and Republican
mega-donor Louis DeJoy ordered a [ [link removed] ]series of changes that slow mail
processing and delivery. By doing everything he can to make sure Americans
won’t get their ballots in time, Trump has demonstrated that he won’t go
down without an unfair fight. 

Oh, yeah, and we should probably mention that [ [link removed] ]Trump just requested
mail-in ballots for himself and Melania. 

In the midst of the global pandemic, it’s never been more crucial for
everyone to have the tools they need to vote safely come November 3. To
start, make sure you [ [link removed] ]call your Representative and tell them to support
the Delivering for America Act to save the Postal Service. Then, grab your
mask and head to your local post office for [ [link removed] ]#SaveThePostOffice on
Saturday, August 22 at 11am (local time) to join us, MoveOn, and more
partners in our fight for safe elections. 

Trying to destroy the USPS is voter suppression. Want to learn more about
the history of voter suppression in the U.S. and how we can increase voter
turnout? Check out All In: The Fight for Democracy, featuring Stacey
Abrams on PrimeVideo on 9/18. In the meantime, watch the trailer [ [link removed] ]here!

 Support the Payback Project 

Republicans in the Senate aren’t interested in representing the people.
Whether their own constituents or marginalized communities across the
country, Republican senators have become experts at ignoring the people in
favor of corporate interests and the white elite. That’s why we started
the Payback Project at the beginning of this year: to kick out some of the
worst offenders and elect senators who are ready to fight for the people.

We’ve made huge strides since then, but your support is crucial to
bringing us across the finish line in November. [ [link removed] ]Can you make a $10
gift to support the Payback Project, take back the Senate, and fund our
work this year?

 Indivisible's "State of Joe"

From now to Election Day, we’ll be highlighting how Indivisible groups
across the country are doing the work to make Joe Biden our next
President! This week, Indivisible Sedona went all out: 

 

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

As we dive into a week that’s all about Democratic Unity, we love seeing
Indivisibles (and their cute pups) stand together proudly. It’s going to
take tons of organizing and a strong, united front to beat Trump and his
Republican enablers in November -- so we’re glad Indivisibles in Sedona
are on the job! 

We hope you stream the DNC with us tonight and sign up for our Week of
Action to join our fight this week and every week until November. Let’s
get to work!

In solidarity, 
Indivisible Team
