Indivisibles are pushing new representatives and the old guard alike to be bigger, bolder, and more inclusive than ever before Imdivisibles,
It’s only been two months since the start of our federal Democratic trifecta (if you can believe it) -- and the momentum Indivisibles are building is leading more and more senators to come out in favor of our top democracy reform priorities. Sens. Warnock and Tester have both recently signed on as cosponsors of the D.C. statehood bill, with Sen. Ossoff announcing his support as well. And the right wing is terrified of what democracy reform represents -- so they’re going all out in Congress and state legislatures to curtail voting rights, bolstered by $24 million from the Heritage Foundation alone, according to the New York Times.1
Meanwhile, Sen. Angus King penned an op-ed in the Washington Post2, writing, “All-out opposition to reasonable voting rights protections cannot be enabled by the filibuster; if forced to choose between a Senate rule and democracy itself, I know where I will come down.”
With members of Congress in their home districts for recess these last two weeks, activists are working hard to build even more pressure to make the most of this fleeting trifecta moment. Here are just a few of the things we’re doing to support activists and drive momentum for democracy reform:
- Running hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of ads, from targeted digital buys to radio and newspaper ads.
- Creating toolkits and sending merch directly to local Indivisible groups to make their events and local activism even more effective -- think 51-star flags, social media graphics, and more.
- Making videos, writing resources, and building plans to get the word out and make sure every Indivisible is prepared to talk about the importance of democracy reform and the key steps to making it happen.
Our $710,000 investment in our For the People Project is all about using all these tactics and more to push for transformative democracy reform. And grassroots support is what makes it all possible. We need your help: click here to donate $10 to fund the ads, digital tools, media, and more that it’ll take to win democracy reform and all our progressive priorities.

It’s incredible to see what this movement has accomplished in just a few short weeks of Democratic trifecta power. You’re pushing new representatives and the old guard alike to be bigger, bolder, and more inclusive than ever before. That means it’s not time to rest on our laurels -- it’s time to fight even harder because we can already see the impact we’re having, and we don’t have any time to lose. Let’s go win this.
In solidarity, Indivisible Team
