Indivisibles, 

We’re back with another installation of our IndivisiStories series --
emails we’re sending this month that spotlight our favorite stories to
tell about the tenacity and power of the Indivisible movement. If you need
to catch up, [ [link removed] ]you can find the rest of the stories on our Medium
account. 

This week, we’re highlighting the role The Indivisible Truth Brigade
played in the victories we’ve seen this year and how we’re calling on you
to lead in our ongoing commitment to fighting Trumpism.

Indivisibles vs. Trumpism

After four years of sweat, tears, and organizing grit, Indivisibles helped
make Donald Trump a one-term president. Trump won't be in the Oval Office
come January 20, but he and his cronies have made it clear that he’ll keep
a strong grip on politics. Trumpism is an approach embraced by GOP
politicians all over the country and is a byproduct of Trump's appeal to
far-right populism and white supremacy. 

We know getting rid of Trump isn’t enough. Here’s an example of how our
movement has already laid the groundwork for reclaiming our power and
reinventing American democracy:

Indivisible Truth Brigade 

Trumpism has been able to survive because of Trump’s consistent attacks on
the truth. That’s where the Indivisible Truth Brigade comes in: our
program to mobilize volunteers to effectively combat democracy-destroying
Trumpian disinformation. Truth Brigade members formed a disciplined task
force to share unified and personalized messaging, and, recently, to also
report back on harmful disinformation. 

Launching as part of our Windivisible election campaign, Truth Brigaders
have stepped up to share personalized, simple, and consistent messaging,
using the hashtag #truthbrigade, both online and offline. In just 3
months, Truth Brigade has grown to include a broad membership base from
all over the country with 3,600 individual users on Twitter and over 1650
Slack channel members. On Twitter alone, the program boasts 94 posts per
day on average with 11.3K total posts and 50.2 million views. 

For example, Truth Brigaders are currently personalizing and sharing a
version of this message to counter disinformation about the COVID-19
vaccination:

 

 

We have no plans to stop combating Trump’s lies, especially since we
suspect he will never let this election go. If you’d like to get involved,

How to defeat Trumpism? Let The People Lead

We attribute the victories we saw this year to activists and supporters,
like you, who called, texted, organized, and resisted to make sure our
priorities were heard. And now, even in the face of disinformation, voter
suppression, and downright hate, everyday people are still committed to
showing up and flexing their power. 

The people led us to victory, now we’re asking them to do it again. 

We’re calling our 2021 mobilizations "The People Lead" because we’ve seen
what happens when everyday people realize this country is supposed to work
for them. We have big goals -- all connected to transformational reform
and our fight against Trumpism. If we hope to achieve our progressive
priorities, our members of Congress need to know that we won’t stand for
their entertaining of any lingering Trumpism. We demand bold action that
will begin to undo the harm of the last four years and address the
systemic issues that made it possible. Indivisibles are already getting
organized; join them by getting involved with our The People Lead Week of
Action from January 11 to January 15:

We’ll be sharing more details about The People Lead, as well as releasing
a new Indivisible Guide to help steer your mobilizations, in the days
following the Georgia runoff election. We also have more stories to share,
so make sure you’re following us on social media: [ [link removed] ]Twitter,
