Indivisibles,
Just four days ago, we sent you the message below about how Republicans
are working with the Heritage Foundation to ram through dozens of
state-level voter suppression bills, and that bills like S. 1 (the For the
People Act) are crucial for stopping the tide.
And on Monday, the New Yorker broke even bigger news about the GOP’s
wealthy backers: conservative organizations funded by the Koch brothers
have admitted to Mitch McConnell’s advisers that the voting rights
protections in the For the People Act are so popular across the political
spectrum (including with conservatives) that they need to resort to
“under-the-dome-type strategies” like the filibuster to kill the bill.
In fact, “a senior Koch operative said that opponents would be better off
ignoring the will of American voters and trying to kill the bill in
Congress.” This is the GOP playbook -- not serving and representing the
people, but ignoring the people in a quest to enact an out-of-touch
agenda.
We’ve got public opinion on our side, and we know how to use it: we’re
spending $710,000 to build pressure on senators and members of Congress
with call pages, newspaper ads, radio spots, events and more. And we need
your help to make all that advocacy possible: [ [link removed] ]donate $10 right now to
fund the ads, resources, digital tools, and more that it’ll take to stop
the Kochs, implement massively popular democracy reform, and make all our
progressive priorities possible.

Subject: The Heritage Foundation and the GOP are coming for voting rights

Indivisibles,
The New York Times broke big news this week: the Heritage Foundation is
working with Republican officials all over the country to build a
coordinated attack on voting rights through dozens of voter suppression
bills at the state level.
And they’re already planning to ramp up their efforts. Heritage Action’s
executive director said, “So I would put Georgia, Arizona, Texas, Florida
as kind of the first wave of seats. And then we’ll turn to looking at
Wisconsin, Michigan and potentially Nevada.”
This is the kind of opposition we’re up against, and we know they’ll stop
at nothing to rig elections so Republicans can keep power. We haven’t got
any time to lose -- Georgia Republicans already passed the first of these
laws, restricting voting locations and even making it a crime to bring
food and water to people waiting in voting lines.
That’s why it’s so crucial that we go all in to fight for S. 1 (the For
the People Act), H.R. 4 (the John Lewis Voting Rights Act), H.R. 51 (D.C.
statehood), and eliminating the filibuster to make it all possible. The
integrity of our democracy and the rights of the people are at stake.
We’ve got a $710,000 plan to win these key democracy reforms, and we’re up
against powerful interests with millions to spend -- so every dollar
counts. The power of our grassroots movement means we can do more with
less, but we still need to fund everything from ads to event merch to
digital organizing tools and more. So we’re asking for your support:
[ [link removed] ]click here to donate $10 to stop the Heritage Foundation’s plots,
empower all the tools we’re using to implement real democracy reform, and
advance all our progressive priorities.

Republicans are terrified to let people vote fairly because they know
their policies are getting more and more unpopular. The only way they can
win is to rig the game -- and they’re willing to do it. We were founded on
the premise that people working together can defeat even the worst of
anti-democratic interests, and Indivisibles like you have proven time and
time again that we were right. Now let’s get to work and do it again.
In solidarity,
