To TX Indivisibles, and everyone impacted by this week's systemic
failures:
We see you, and we feel for you. Long term, we know that rebuilding our
democracy is how we'll address climate change, regulation, and other
failures that lead to this crisis, but we also know that in a moment like
this, long-term work can feel woefully inadequate. Please, take care of
yourselves and your communities first.
Indivisibles,
Keep the February recess momentum going by making calls today!
Congressional recess started on February 13 and will continue until
February 21, meaning your members of Congress are back at home answering
to constituents from their district offices. This recess presents a unique
opportunity for us to show MoCs that we care about democracy reform and we
expect them to make it a priority.
We’re setting our sights on passing H.R. 1/ S. 1, the For the People Act,
a robust reform package that targets voter suppression, gerrymandering,
money in politics, corruption, and more. Also on our agenda, passing H.R.
51/ S. 51 to make D.C. the 51st state. Both of these bills make our
democracy more equitable and representative of the people and empower the
long-term progressive goals that we’ve been fighting for. [ [link removed] ]Click here to

Today (February 17) we’re holding a national call-in day to make sure our
members of Congress are feeling the pressure to pass our bold, structural
democracy agenda. Join us to make calls, ask the hard questions, and get
them on the record on our priorities -- from meaningful COVID-19 relief
that includes raising the minimum wage to passing democracy reform
measures like the For the People Act (H.R. 1/S. 1) and the D.C. statehood
bill (H.R. 51/ S. 51).

D.C. residents -- we recognize that your lack of
representation makes this recess particularly personal, but elected
officials still need to hear from you! [ [link removed] ]Make a video explaining how D.C.
statehood and The For the People Act will impact you.
This is our opportunity to do two things: 1) make sure MoCs
feel pressure from their constituents and 2) build a national narrative
for action. We’ve put together a Democracy Defenders Toolkit to help you
catch up on all the issues we’re prioritizing, get acquainted with the key
senators we're spotlighting, and learn more about how to host your own
virtual or safe in-person event: [ [link removed] ]find everything you need this February
recess with our Democracy Defenders Toolkit here.
This recess is just too important to sit out: Congress needs to act
quickly and decisively to pass meaningful COVID-19 relief and democracy
reform measures that put all of our other priorities within reach. Make an
impact by making calls today and all week long.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
