As long as the Jim Crow filibuster remains in place, we can expect Mitch McConnell to stop every one of our top priorities in the Senate.

Indivisibles,

This is a BIG week for our democracy reform priorities. On Monday, the House Oversight Committee held a hearing on D.C. statehood -- hopefully its last! -- where Democrats made a strong case for the urgency and justice of making D.C. the 51st state. And today, the Senate Rules Committee is holding a hearing on S. 1 (the For the People Act), one of the backbones of our democracy reform agenda.1

With crucial bills moving in both houses of Congress, we’re hard at work on all the advocacy it’ll take to get them passed. And we know it’s going to be an uphill battle: quite frankly, as long as the Jim Crow filibuster remains in place, we can expect Mitch McConnell to stop every one of our top priorities in the Senate.

Luckily, these moments are when Indivisibles shine:

  • Our organizers and local groups across the country are preparing for a week of action during next week’s congressional recess to remind members of Congress that their constituents are watching and keep up the drumbeat for democracy reform and a bold recovery agenda.
  • Our policy staff are keeping us up to date on the latest legislative developments and working with coalition partners and folks on Capitol Hill to push for bold, transformative policymaking.
  • Digital staffers are creating call pages, placing ads, recording videos, sending surveys, and more to get even more activists involved and build a surge of energy for our top advocacy issues.

All this work and more is what it’s going to take to use this fleeting trifecta moment to build a better democracy for the people -- and none of it’s possible without support from the grassroots. We spend thousands every month on web hosting, digital infrastructure, and organizing tools, not to mention the quarter of a million dollars we’ve budgeted for our democracy reform campaign this year. Click here to donate $10 to fund all our work, from our ads and videos to local community organizing and everything else it’ll take to realize all our priorities.

The Democratic trifecta in the federal government gives us a rare opportunity, not just to win policy fights but to fundamentally remake our democracy for the better. We don’t have much time to do it, but we know this movement can handle it. We’re glad you’re in it with us.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
