Indivisibles,
Today marks 50 days until November 3, and we just have one question:
Indivisibles across the country have come together to make calls, send
texts, and write letters in defense of our democracy. To date, we’ve held
2,299 events from coast to coast and just hit 10 MILLION voter contact
attempts -- but we aren’t slowing down.
The next 50 days are critical if we want to make Trump a one-term
president and win key House and Senate races for a big blue wave in
Congress. [ [link removed] ]If you want to be part of the movement that saves our
democracy, check out this list of 50 actions you can take in the next 50
days:
[ [link removed] ]50 Actions in 50 Days
With 50 days to go, these 50 actions will serve as your guide to make a
difference in the outcome of the election and encourage others to do the
same. It’s a list of ideas and resources with little pockets of
inspiration for you to reference and share between now and November 3.
Trump and his enablers, like Mitch McConnell and Susan Collins, count on
us being overwhelmed and unmotivated. So, we’re here to remind you of our
power to make history, because we’ve actually done it before. We didn’t
just win when critical House seats were up for grabs in 2018; we
dominated. Through strategic voter outreach, Indivisibles helped flip
41-GOP held House seats -- marking the largest midterms margin of victory
in history.
This time, the stakes are even higher and we’re rising to meet them. We’re
voting like our democracy depends on it -- because it does -- and helping
other voters get ready to do the same. [ [link removed] ]If you’re ready to take action
right now, sign up for a call shift by phonebanking with Windivisible.
We have so much more to tell you about, so here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your weekly to-dos
1. [ [link removed] ]Join activists, volunteers, and group leaders for our Windivisible
GOTV Bootcamp on October 3. GOTV stands for “Get Out the Vote,” which
is our main focus over the next 50 days. Wondering how we’ll drive
voter turnout if we can’t go door-to-door? This half-day training will
help you get involved in the most critical period before election day!
2. [ [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. Don’t be
fooled; the Senate’s unwillingness to pass the Heroes Act isn’t about
the price tag. The relief we need for the issues we care about cost
money, but that’s why, unlike Senate Republicans, we’re prioritizing
election funding over corporate immunity. For more information on the
Heroes Act, check out our [ [link removed] ]explainer where we break down the package
and secure our election during the pandemic.
3. [ [link removed] ]Call your Senators and tell them to save the Postal Service by
supporting the Delivering for America Act. The House already passed
this resolution -- now it’s the Senate’s turn. During Postmaster
General DeJoy’s hearings, it became even clearer that he has no
intention to reverse course on the damage that’s well underway. In
between lies about the impact of his policies, DeJoy confirmed he
would not be replacing the 671 sorting machines that he has ordered to
be removed. Trump and the GOP are prepared to let the Postal Service
fail if it means they get to keep power -- tell the Senate we won’t
stand for it.
4. [ [link removed] ]Record a video telling us why you’re in this fight. Your stories
breathe life into our movement, which is why we want to hear from you
directly. Tell us what drives you and what you’re doing to help win in
November. This campaign is about highlighting your hard work and
inspiring others to do the same. Got any organizing tips? A funny
story about what led you to this work? We want to hear it all!
5. [ [link removed] ]Ready to phonebank? Watch our latest episode of Indivisible Weekly
for a step-by-step guide on how to sign up for a call shift. In this
episode, Pablo breaks down what you need to know to start talking to
voters in critical states all over the country. Direct voter contact
is the fastest and most effective way of sharing information that
people need to be able to vote safely. Just because we can’t knock on
doors doesn't mean we won’t be able to spread our message!
6. [ [link removed] ]Call your Representative now to ask them to cosponsor the THRIVE
Resolution. We’re looking ahead to 2021 to lay the groundwork for a
COVID recovery package that meets a broad range of needs. The THRIVE
Resolution addresses mass unemployment, racial injustice, public
health, and climate change -- demanding that Congress rise to meet the
level of the overlapping crises we’re facing.

2020 Update
[ [link removed] ]Last week we announced that we’ve added Sen. Dan Sullivan, Alaska’s
freshman senator to our list of targets for 2020. Again and again, Sen.
Sullivan has stood by Trump, voting with him 91.5% of the time. He voted
to repeal the Affordable Care Act and supported Trump’s 2017 tax scam, and
put his party before his country when he voted to block witnesses and
acquit Trump during the impeachment trial. He has even stood by as the
president sabotaged Alaska’s vital Postal Service.
With 50 days until the election, we need support from people in every
state to win this monumental fight. If you’re in a target state, [ [link removed] ]join
a local group and work to raise awareness with your neighbors and
communities about your incumbent target. If you’re not in a target state,
[ [link removed] ]sign up to call voters in Payback states and get voters prepared to
cast their ballots this year.

Help us secure the results of November's election
Every day another news story comes out detailing the new ways Trump is
seeking to undermine November’s election. Amidst a pandemic, where
people’s safety and health are paramount, the last thing we should have to
worry about is the safety and health of our democratic process.
Unfortunately, that’s not the world we’re living in. That’s why we need
Protect the Results -- a joint project between 40 partner organizations to
make sure Trump and everyone else respects the results of November’s
election. We’re budgeting over $1.2 million if we need to do that work,
and we need your help: [ [link removed] ]can you donate $10 to protect the results and
fund all our work?

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, we wanted to highlight this team of committed
phonebankers in Illinois:

We always feel so proud when we see Indivisibles showing up for one
another. Phonebanking is so much more fun to do with friends! Keep up the
good work, we’ll see you across the finish line in 50 days time.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
