Indivisibles,
After the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in mid-September, you
swiftly turned your grief into action and did the work to tell your
senators: no confirmation until inauguration. Rather than honor the
millions of votes that have already been cast in this election, the Senate
will move to confirm Amy Coney Barrett later today. Senate Democrats
fought hard to preserve RBG’s final wish and block this nomination, but
they fell short by the slimmest of margins. Today’s confirmation vote is a
reminder that this election isn’t just about Trump -- we have to take back
the Senate. Help us reclaim our power on November 3 by phonebanking into
Payback states:

It’s no surprise that every [ [link removed] ]Payback Senator (except Sen. Susan Collins,
who thinks she can be redeemed after her vote to confirm Kavanaugh) will
vote to confirm ACB against the will of the American people. If you had
any doubts about their priorities, they chose to score political points
with Trump rather than pass relief for millions of struggling Americans
during a pandemic that has already claimed over 225,000 American lives and
destroyed our economy. They don’t care about the threat Barrett poses to
the Affordable Care Act, LGBTQ rights, or access to safe and legal
abortion. They’ve shown us exactly who they are -- now we have to show
them we won’t stand for it.
This is the final stretch, let’s get to work with your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your weekly to-dos
1. [ [link removed] ]Volunteer to phonebank with Windivisible. We’ve done everything we
can to block ACB’s confirmation, now we need to empower as many voters
as possible to reclaim our power. By calling voters in Payback states,
you’ll be having meaningful conversations with people we need on our
team to vote out the leaders who have failed us. Getting on the phone
with these voters is crucial -- this is the final stretch and we need
everyone on board to win.
2. [ [link removed] ]Take this pledge to triple your vote. Multiply your impact by
getting three people you know to turn out and vote. Once you’ve signed
the pledge, check out our message templates and tips on how to start
reaching out. Then, check out this [ [link removed] ]mini-guide to help you address
common questions you might get when you talk to your friends and
family.
3. [ [link removed] ]Get Out The Vote (GOTV) Call-o-ween on October 31, from 3 pm to 6
pm ET. Before you begin your Halloween night activities, join the
Indivisible team for GOTV Call-o-ween! We'll be making calls to voters
in key states -- and having a lot of fun doing it together!
4. [ [link removed] ]Check out our new Protect the Results event map to demand a
peaceful transition of power after the election. Indivisibles all over
the country are getting ready to mobilize ahead of a potential
constitutional crisis if Trump refuses to accept the results of the
election. Join or host an event to demand that every vote is counted.

5. [ [link removed] ]Indivisible Rural Call on October 28 at 8 pm ET. Join
Indivisible's National Political Director Mari Urbina for a final
election pep talk and Nora Sharp, who will discuss the Protect the
Results work through a rural lens. For those that want to stay on the
call, we'll be phonebanking into North Carolina and Arizona!
6. [ [link removed] ]Donate $10 today to help us win big this November and fund all our
work. With just 15 days to Election Day, we’re sprinting to win races
up and down the ballot nationwide. We’re the movement to do it, but in
order to afford the ads, mailers, phonebanking tools, and more to make
it happen, we need funds. We don’t take money from corporations or
politicians, so we’re asking for your support.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use your power

With only a few days left until the most crucial election of our lives, we
wanted to leave you with a little hope and inspiration. For the last four
years, you’ve been working hard to organize your communities, electing
members of Congress who embody your values, and pushing back against
Trump’s dangerous policies. As former President Barack Obama said in the
video above, “We can’t just imagine a better future, we have to fight for
it. We have to vote like never before and leave no doubt.”
Indivisibles like you have been fighting for that better future, and we
hope you’ll spend the next few days of the final stretch having
conversations with loved ones and friends about the importance of getting
out the vote.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
