Folks, 

Indivisibles all over the country are kicking off their third Week of
Action around the first debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Donald
Trump. If you’re planning on watching along tonight, you can expect Trump
spinning his web of lies, deflecting from the facts, and attacking Biden.
It’s going to be a lot on top of an already contentious election season,
but instead of rage-tweeting or texting (which is sometimes therapeutic),
[ [link removed] ]we’re viewing tonight as a moment to galvanize voters in the next 35
days.

[ [link removed] ]We’ve created a debate toolkit for you to use tonight while you’re
watching -- it’s filled with details on tonight’s debate, great to-dos for
when Trump peddles each of his lies, and more information to get the folks
in your lives involved. Because if we want to win in November, we’ve got
to be all in -- that means not only are we doing everything we can to
defeat Trump and his Republican enablers, but we’ve got to get our loved
ones involved too (relational organizing at its best).

Here are the key messaging toplines we’ll be watching out for during the
debates -- and we encourage you to use these themes in your conversations
with friends, family, and neighbors in the days ahead:

* Joe Biden cares about you and your family, Donald Trump does not. Joe
will fight for our access to health care, to end this pandemic, and to
help the most vulnerable people in our economy.
* Under Trump, COVID-19 has killed over 200,000 Americans and the number
continues to rise. Trump and Senate Republicans have failed to support
the sick and the unemployed and are instead prioritizing court
politics over American lives. They are trying to strip away health
care from millions of Americans.
* Our democracy is on the ballot. Joe Biden will protect our votes, our
courts, and make it possible for progressive priorities to advance.
Donald Trump is an anti-democratic extremist who embraces corruption
and rejects accountability.

So if you’re ready to turn your rage into activism during the debate,
check out our [ [link removed] ]First Presidential Debate Toolkit (and share it with
everyone you know!). Here’s an example of what you’ll find in the
toolkit: 

➡️ When Trump mentions anything about election protection, [ [link removed] ]sign up for
Protect the Results, and share with two of your closest friends. 

Also, before the debate we’re storming social media to show our support
for Biden -- [ [link removed] ]use this form to join us on Twitter from 5 pm to 8 pm ET.
Once you’ve tweeted, [ [link removed] ]phonebank with friends or with other Indivisibles
before and after the debate by joining any one of the over 280 events on
our map. Also, we encourage you to host a virtual debate watch party
tonight at 9 pm ET with the Washington Post live stream in one tab and
Zoom in another!

With everything going on this week -- from news about Trump’s decades-long
tax scam and debt burden to Trump’s nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett
to tonight’s first presidential debate -- we realize it’s a lot to manage.
But this week’s activism gives us hope that if we all do everything we can
to motivate our friends and family to vote, hold our elected officials
accountable, and demand a better, more inclusive democracy, we’ll have a
chance to create real change. Thanks for being in this fight with us.

In solidarity, 
Indivisible Team
