Indivisibles,

We’ve got a really short (but really important) newsletter for you today because, well, we‘ve got a lot of work to do this week. 

Right now, Congress is working through the appropriations process to determine how to allocate government funds -- and we have a real chance to make a difference next week by fighting to defund ICE and CBP, and end ICE’s ability to steal money from other government agencies. As usual, Indivisibles are showing up and ready to put our people-power where it counts.

And with our #DefundHate Week of Action (WoA) launching and the next presidential debates right around the corner, we need to join in and take action right now. Let’s jump in!

 Here are our top actions for the week ahead:

➜ Kick off the #DefundHate Week of Action with our National Call-In Day. Call 1-844-909-0232 and tell your representative to cut funding for ICE and CBP and end ICE’s ability to steal money from other agencies now. Visit the Defund Hate campaign site for more info about what to expect this week. 

➜ Opt-in to our exclusive Indivisible Focus Group by texting DEBATES to 977-79. We want to capture the Indivisible movement’s take on the debates as soon as they’re over -- which means we’ll need an exclusive focus group that we’ll text right after the debate ends (11pm ET / 8pm PT) and ask you how you feel. 

➜ Join us tomorrow 8pm EST / 5pm PST for a special Facebook Live featuring Leah and Ezra for a look inside our Defund Hate Week of Action and what we’re looking for in the upcoming debates. They’ll be talking numbers from our call-in day today, what we’re expecting from the rest of the week, and exactly what we want to hear from the presidential candidates on the issues that matter to us all.

One last ask!

All the tools and resources above are critical to push back against hate, but they don’t come cheap. The rally signs alone cost us over $10,000 to get to as many folks as needed them. We're happy to spend that money because we’ve already proven that the power of our numbers and of the thousands of Indivisible groups all around the country can change legislation for the better.

If you'd like to support this massive effort, chip in $10 today to support Indivisible Project, the defund hate week of action, and all of our legislative work.

Alright! You’ve got your marching orders. Just remember that Indivisibles are powerful because we’re keeping our focus on what matters most: breaking down the sources of Trump’s power by fighting to protect our democracy and end his racist immigration policies.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
