Dear Indivisibles,

Joe Biden is the President Elect. It’s time to get to work. 

By a MASSIVE margin of over 5 million votes, the voters have undeniably
decided Joe Biden will be our next President. While the GOP’s political
games reek of impropriety, they are a distraction designed to take our
eyes off the future. 

It’s time to move forward, and to do that, the Trump Administration must
begin the transition to the incoming Biden Administration. The first step
is for General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator Emily Murphy to
do something called “[ [link removed] ]ascertainment” which will grant the Biden
transition team access to federal agencies to prepare for the transition. 

So far, Administrator Murphy has failed to do so, offering no legitimate
explanation for why she has stalled (we can all guess, of course). That
means crucial information isn’t being shared with the incoming
administration, including sensitive security briefings. 

The people elected Joe Biden and it is the job of our elected officials to
ensure Administrator Murphy does her duty and supports the transition.
[ [link removed] ]Click here to call your Senators and tell them to publicly recognize
the results of the election and call on GSA Administrator Murphy to
ascertain them. Then when you’re done, [ [link removed] ]click here to call your
Representative to ask the same thing.  

This isn’t a formality that Trump is blocking for his vanity. Delays in
post-election ascertainment carry enormous risk because they delay the
incoming administration’s ability to transition effectively and
efficiently. One example? The 9/11 Commission Report named the abbreviated
2000 transition (delayed because the Florida Recount delayed
ascertainment) as a contributing factor in the nation’s unpreparedness for
the crisis. 

In the midst of a pandemic, this is the absolute last time we can afford
to delay this crucial process. Murphy is a Trump Administration appointee
but that’s no excuse for failing to do her duty. Please, [ [link removed] ]click here to
call your Senators today and insist they hold her to account, then [ [link removed] ]call
back and ask your Representative to do the same.

We’ll be back soon with more information on the transition, the
congressional session between now and the inauguration, and more. 

In solidarity,

Indivisible Team

Indivisible’s work doesn’t end with the Trump Administration because
Trumpism doesn’t end with the Trump Administration. We’re preparing for
all the fights ahead and since we don’t take money from politicians or
corporations, we need your support to keep developing tools, producing
resources, offering trainings and more. We’re aiming to raise almost
$200,000 for the Indivisible Project in November and December to support
that work: [ [link removed] ]Please chip in to help us get there. (But only AFTER you
call your Senator please!)
