Indivisibles,

Last week was an impeachment whirlwind! To recap, Trump has been accused
by a whistleblower of engaging in an illegal quid pro quo when he asked
Ukrainian leaders for “a favor”: interfere in our 2020 election by digging
up dirt on his political opponents in exchange for millions of dollars in
aid.

You jumped into action early in the week and made more than 12,000 calls
to your members of Congress in a single day! These calls, along with
months of hard work and sustained pressure during Impeachment August, laid
the groundwork for a swift reaction and public calls for an impeachment
inquiry by House Democrats.

On Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (FINALLY!) announced a formal
impeachment inquiry into the president’s actions, and on Wednesday, the
whistleblower complaint was released to the public -- implicating not just
Trump, but Attorney General Bill Barr and Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy
Giuliani.

In the last few days, we saw public opinion change as leadership finally
got on board with what you’ve been demanding for months -- impeachment
inquiry now! In an effort to increase the pressure on members of Congress,
we partnered with MoveOn, By the People, Public Citizen, SEIU, and more to
create the [ [link removed] ]Impeach Now coalition. We have two asks for our members of
Congress: do your jobs and impeach Trump!

While most of Congress went on recess this week, the House Intelligence
Committee listened to our calls to stay in Washington and work on the
impeachment inquiry (YAY! Small wins!). Now it’s time for you to do what
you do best -- call, visit, and birddog your members of Congress on their
home turf. We must get them on the record about an impeachment vote -- and
we fully expect to make this vote as painful and consequential as possible
for Senate Republicans. That’s why we’re making sure that wherever our
members of Congress go for recess, we’ll be there, holding them
accountable.

Below, we have a whole bunch of to-dos centered around impeachment --
because there’s still so much work to be done, and still so many members
of Congress who haven’t felt the full force of their constituency. This
week, attend a town hall, or host your own impeachment event. This
Wednesday, we’ll be hosting a [ [link removed] ]Facebook Live at 8pm ET on the current
state of the impeachment fight. Tune in to hear from our policy experts
and our digital team on how to get involved in the impeachment fight and
help save our democracy!

Every day that Trump continues to stay in office is another day that he
abuses, degrades, and threatens our nation. Just this weekend, Trump
tweeted that if he were removed from office, it would start a Civil War,
and he claimed that Rep. Adam Schiff, the Chairman of the House
Intelligence Committee, should be arrested for treason. So there’s that.

And now for your weekly to-dos:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Your impeachment to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Register for the National Activist Call this Thursday, Oct. 3 at 8
PM ET/5 PM PT. We’re going to cover the latest updates on the
impeachment inquiry in the House, recap the Defund Hate week of action
from September, and give you the latest on the Indivisible book -- so
make sure to tune in!
 2. [ [link removed] ]Check out impeachnow.org to find or plan an event near you. Along
with our partners in the Impeach Now coalition, we’re providing you
with all the tools you need to keep the pressure high on your members
of Congress to impeach Trump now for his crimes. Check out the website
for more!
 3. [ [link removed] ]Call your Representative and tell them that it’s time to impeach
now. If your House Democrat is vocally in favor of impeaching Trump,
make sure to thank them for their leadership. And if your House
Democrat or Republican needs a little more pressure, remind them of
their oath to the Constitution and tell them it’s time to find the
truth and hold Trump accountable.
 4. [ [link removed] ]Then, tell your Senators to support a fair and open impeachment
trial. We can’t let Mitch McConnell play games with an impeachment
trial in the Senate -- the stakes for our democracy and our national
security are too high. Tell your Senators to speak out in favor of a
fair and open impeachment trial in the Senate that will help the
American people find the truth about Trump’s offenses.
 5. [ [link removed] ]And make sure to read our resource to answer all your
impeachment-related questions. We’ve got lots of information about how
the impeachment process works, why Trump is in hot water over the
Ukraine scandal, and the strategy for making sure the impeachment
process is fair and open, so make sure to read our resource for the
latest!

 We Are Indivisible A Blueprint for Democracy 

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing previews of Chapter 1 from Leah
and Ezra’s [ [link removed] ]book, which is being published November 5. Last week, we
left off at 9:00 p.m. on Election Night, 2016...

Things went downhill fast. Some guests recognized reality faster than
others. Some people started crying, others started yelling, others started
to quietly trickle out. The few who remained hit the bourbon hard, then
fell into an intense argument about Hillary versus Bernie. At some point
we gave up on our hosting duties, wished the remaining guests well in
their increasingly heated debate, and went to bed. As we fell asleep that
night, we were scared, angry, confused, and shocked -- basically just
totally lost. To Be Continued...

You can read more about the book at [ [link removed] ]book.indivisible.org and use the
links at the top of the page to pre-order your
copy.

 Help us prepare for what's next 

What a month! Between fighting off attacks from the right wing, working to
#DefundHate, and dropping everything to demand impeachment, September has
been a whirlwind. And we’ve won some major victories, including a
short-term funding bill that rejected all the anti-immigrant special
funding increases requested by the White House and the announcement of an
official impeachment inquiry in the House. 

We’re going to be continuing work on all those fronts into October, along
with some exciting new program launches and other projects. And all this
work depends on grassroots support from people like you. 

Our tactics work -- that’s why right wing groups like FreedomWorks are
scared of us, and it’s why Congress listens when more than 12,000 of us
call their offices. [ [link removed] ]But our work isn’t over -- please, pitch in $10
today to make sure we’re ready for whatever October has in store for
us.
