Dear Indivisibles,

Is it just us or does literally every day bring more and more news about
how Donald Trump has used his access to foreign leaders to enrich himself
at the expense of our national security and international alliances? We're
kidding -- we know we're on the same page. The proof is in the pudding:
Indivisibles across the country have risen to meet each and every one of
these moments by calling their members of Congress and showing up to town
halls, city halls and [ [link removed] ]busy intersections to demand accountability.

So we know you'll be as excited as we are that we're be bringing back
our [ [link removed] ]Hubdialer (the tool that lets you call other constituents in key
districts/states to urge them to take action) so that you can help others
across the country join together at this pivotal moment. Be sure to keep
an eye on your inbox for more details!

We also know that when the crimes are coming in this regularly, it can be
tough to stay caught up on every single impeachable offense. That's where
we come in (or to be more specific, our Director of Democracy Policy,
Meagan Hatcher-Mays) with an all-new Impeachment Daily show (see link
below) with the latest on Trump’s crimes and what you can do to pressure
your member of Congress to hold him accountable. 

But with all this going on, we don't want you to miss that we launched of
our 2020 Congressional endorsements program! In 2018, Indivisibles put the
entire weight of our movement behind exciting candidates who were looking
to push more progressive policies through Congress, and this year won't be
any different.

And now for your weekly to-dos:

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

 Your 5 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Sign up to make some calls connecting voters to Senators to demand
they commit to an open and fair impeachment trial. A fair and complete
trial is literally the Senate's job, and it's critically important for
us to make sure they do it right. You can volunteer from anywhere --
you just need a computer or tablet and a phone to make calls -- and
we'll make sure you have everything else you need to contact voters.
Can you commit to a few hours on the phones to help save our
democracy? [ [link removed] ]RSVP here. 

 2. [ [link removed] ]Check out impeachnow.org to find or plan an event near you. Members
of Congress are still out on recess this week, which gives you even
more chances to urge them to hold Trump accountable. We and our
partners in the Impeach Now coalition have a website with all the
tools you need to keep the pressure high -- make sure to click for
more!

 3. [ [link removed] ]Catch up on Impeachment Daily for all the latest news and strategy.
Every day, Director of Democracy Policy Meagan Hatcher-Mays will be
recording a video with everything you need to know to make a
difference in the impeachment fight. Episodes 1-3 are now up on
YouTube -- it’s must-see (online) TV.

 4. [ [link removed] ]Read the updated 2020 endorsement guide! We’ve taken everything
that Indivisibles across the country learned about making an
endorsement in their 2018 races, and incorporated that into an updated
version of the endorsement guide for you to use over the coming year.
Give it a read to learn about why you should consider endorsing in
your congressional race, why candidates care about winning your
endorsement, how you can use the endorsement process to build your
group’s power, and how to run an effective endorsement process
locally.

 5. [ [link removed] ]Tell your MoC to support improvements to the Democrats’
prescription drug price bill. House Democratic leadership released
H.R. 3, the Lower Drug Costs Now Act of 2019, on September 19, 2019.
While the bill was improved from what reports earlier in the summer
suggested, there are still numerous provisions of the bill that should
be strengthened before it reaches the floor. Tell your Representative
to improve H.R. 3 by negotiating more drugs, and protecting patients
from high launch prices and price spikes!

 2020 Update 

Last week, we started seeing some of the presidential candidates’ third
quarter fundraising numbers. This week, we’re going to dig into what they
mean, look forward to the next round of debates, and review some of the
ambitious progressive policy proposals that we saw from campaigns last
week:

* [ [link removed] ]Third quarter fundraising shows progressive candidates outpacing
the rest. Last week was the end of the third fundraising quarter for
candidates, and the totals they’ve released so far show an undeniable
trend: progressive candidates with a grassroots-first fundraising
model are blowing away the rest of the field. Senator Sanders led the
pack with a record $25.3 million raised, followed by Senator Warren
with $24.6 million. No other Democrat cracked the $20 million mark
this quarter, proving that progressives are able to generate the
funding needed to take on Trump in the general.

* [ [link removed] ]We’re gonna need a bigger stage… Next week is the fourth
Democratic presidential primary debate (8:00 PM EST on Tuesday, Oct.
15)! The stage this time will feature twelve (yes, TWELVE!) candidates
at once. All ten of the candidates from September’s debate will be
returning, joined by Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and billionaire Tom
Steyer. Check out our [ [link removed] ]2020 playbook to prepare!

* [ [link removed] ]Labor plans made a splash last week. Both Senator Warren and
[ [link removed] ]Secretary Castro released ambitious labor plans, focused on
supporting the most vulnerable communities. Warren’s plan includes
revolutionary proposals like sector-level bargaining, while Castro’s
works to uplift domestic workers and farmworkers. Check out both plans
ahead of next week, and see how they factor into the debate on
Tuesday.

 What we're reading this week 

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 5th. Last week, we
left off as we fell asleep on Election Night 2016, scared, angry,
confused, and shocked—basically just totally lost…

The coming days were surreal. The next morning, the streets of D.C. were
eerily quiet. People were sitting on the metro and walking around downtown
with tears openly streaming down their faces. Our community of D.C.
progressive policy friends were stunned. Like,
deer-in-the-headlights-that’s-also-just-taken-a-brick-to-the-face stunned.
This was supposed to be the crowd who knew stuff about policy and
politics. But no one had answers and no one knew what was coming next.

And it wasn’t just D.C. Nationwide, excitement for the first female
president had given way to horror at the prospect of a Trump
administration. Not everyone on our side of the aisle was shocked: plenty
of people, especially people of color, had been warning that a Trump
victory was all too possible. But everyone was devastated.

To Be Continued… Next week, we’ll hear from some folks who would become
Indivisible’s early group leaders.

You can read more about the book at [ [link removed] ][link removed] and

 We need your help to launch our call tool 

Tomorrow, when we launch HubDialer, we’ll be leaning into what we call a
“movement moment” -- a chance for us to grow our long-term power while we
work to accomplish our immediate advocacy goals. As Indivisibles
nationwide are generating thousands of calls to key Senators in support of
a fair and transparent impeachment trial, they’ll also be bringing even
more people into our work. 

Tools like this one, and the time and effort Indivisibles invest in using
them, have helped us do amazing things in the past -- things like taking
back the House and winning the fight to protect Obamacare. 

But such a powerful tool doesn’t come cheap. We’re spending $145,000 to
make sure that Indivisibles and progressive activists all across the
country get connected to their Senators now, when it matters most. We
don’t take money from candidates or political parties, which means we rely
on people like you to fund these critical tools --[ [link removed] ]can you pitch in $10
right now to fund impeachment calls, the 2020 blue wave, and all of
Indivisible Action’s work?



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

 IndivisWin of the Week 

Alright! Be sure to keep watch for new and exciting ways that you can get
involved and hold Trump and his lackeys accountable. You can do that by
getting the attention of your member of Congress, finding exciting
candidates to support and endorse, and continuing to fight for the values
that this movement cares about. 

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
