Indivisibles,
We can’t believe it’s been only days since the election was called,
especially since the current sitting president has yet to concede to the
clear victors -- President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala
Harris, who, unlike Trump, won both the popular vote and the electoral
college vote.
We’ve clearly got a lot of work ahead of us, and we still have significant
work tied to the 2020 elections with TWO critical Georgia runoffs facing
us in January that will determine control of the Senate in 2021. [ [link removed] ]We’ve
pulled together new resources and actions for you to help you through
these next few weeks as we put 2020 in a box to the left and welcome in (a
very much needed) Biden administration.
This is how we’ll show 2020 the door →
1. Fighting to win the two Senate runoffs in Georgia on January 5.
2. Fending off any final Trump catastrophes.
3. Bolstering House progressive voting bloc power headed into 2021.
4. Ensuring Biden makes good early personnel choices.
5. Winning the coming COVID-19 response legislative fight.
While we’re still working out the details for many of these goals (and
honestly, waiting to see which disasters Trump cooks up), we encourage you
to read and share these resources with everyone who’s been fighting
alongside you for the last four years. Also, keep an eye on social media
and check your inboxes as we continue to add new action items and
to-dos.
All of our goals above depend on you -- and all the other Indivisibles
around the country -- taking action and applying your power where it’s
most strategic. That means calling your members of Congress, showing up at
district offices, making calls to voters in Georgia, and so much more.

These resources will be key in the weeks ahead as you re-energize and
re-engage your community. We expect that the runoffs in Georgia and the
fights over COVID-19 relief and federal funding will be major news-worthy
moments, and those decisions will directly impact all of us. You’ll find
details on why these fights are important in the resource, and soon, we’ll
have action items for you to channel your energy.
We’ve also highlighted the critical groundwork that we have to lay for a
better 2021. Our best strategy heading into 2021 is to make Mitch
McConnell as irrelevant as possible and to wield our power as forcefully
as he does. We can minimize McConnell and the GOP’s influence by
supporting the newly created progressive voting bloc in the House, pushing
the Biden administration to staff up with progressives -- not corporate
lobbyists -- and so much more.
If you’re already raring to take action with us, here's one thing you can
do immediately: [ [link removed] ]call your Senators and demand that they urge
President-elect Biden to not nominate or hire corporate-backed candidates
to his administration. We must ensure that Biden doesn’t pick corporate
executives, high-level consultants, or lobbyists to serve in his
administration -- instead, he should choose progressive nominees who
reflect the work and goals that we want to achieve in 2021. If Biden does
choose corporatists for these roles, demand that your Senators decline to
confirm these nominees.
The last few weeks have been tough for all of us, but we’re so thankful
for everything this movement has done to make Trump a one-term president.
You did that. We’re going to send Trump and his administration packing,
we’re going to welcome in the Biden-Harris administration and the new
Congress, and we’re going to hold them accountable to the folks who voted
them in.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
