Indivisibles,

WOW. After we sent our email on Tuesday night (below) we were BLOWN AWAY
by how many people reached out to get involved. For as infuriating as it
was to watch Republicans filibuster even beginning debate on S.1 (the For
the People Act), it was even more inspiring to be a part of this amazing
community of activists who used that obstructionism as an inspiration to
rally for our democracy.

Couple updates on the fight to pass the For the People Act:

 1. Thanks to all this enthusiasm, groups and activists have added
[ [link removed] ]dozens more Deadline for Democracy events nationwide over the next
two and a half weeks. If there’s an event near you, it’ll be displayed
below, please take a minute to RSVP and put it on your calendar. If
there's no event, never fear: We’re adding more events every day, so
be sure to [ [link removed] ]check our events map throughout recess or join us
virtually for one our upcoming national phonebanks on [ [link removed] ]Tuesday, June
29 or [ [link removed] ]Wednesday, July 7.


Freedom Ride for Voting Rights - Washington, D.C. #FreedomRide2021

When: Saturday, June 26, 1:30 PM
Where: Lincoln Memorial, Washington, DC

 2. If you haven’t yet seen it, [ [link removed] ]take a second to watch Indivisible
Co-Executive Director Ezra on Rachel Maddow earlier this week and then
share it with a friend. It’s a little out of date now (it was from
before the filibuster) but it gives a great overview of the Deadline
for Democracy campaign. Then if you’re feeling inspired, chip in a few
bucks to help fund this week of action and all our work.
 3. And before the events begin, we need your help kicking off this recess
in style! 🎉 [ [link removed] ]RSVP now to tune in our Deadline for Democracy
livestream event on Monday, June 28 at 8pm Eastern Time/5pm Pacific
Time. Be sure to invite your friends to join us!

Ezra summarized it well on Maddow the other night, so we want to leave you
with his words: 

“Politicians have a very scientific method for figuring out what they’re
going to do. They lick their finger, they stick it up in the air, and
they see which way the wind is going to blow… If we are successful in
changing the way the wind blows over the course of the July 4th recess,
they’re going to take this up again, they’re going to amend the
filibuster, and they’re going to pass these voting rights reforms.” 

If you’re ready to make sure the wind blows towards democracy, [ [link removed] ]RSVP
for an event now.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

Subject: BREAKING: Senate Republicans just filibustered the For the People
Act

Indivisibles,

It’s happening: Senate Republicans just filibustered the For the People
Act, blocking movement on crucial democracy reform provisions to curb
money in politics, expand voting access, and more. This is the nail in the
coffin for any illusions that the GOP will suddenly quit their partisan
obstructionism and decide to support these widely popular measures.

We don’t have any more time to waste playing their games -- we need to
pass the For the People Act by the end of July (that’s the Deadline for
Democracy) to make sure it’s in effect before next year’s midterms. It’s
time to eliminate the filibuster and pass real, transformative democracy
reform. And we need to do it as soon as the Senate returns from recess.

That’s where we come in. Indivisibles have what it takes to build a
massive mobilization and show our senators we demand real change. And with
Congress’ two-week-long recess starting in just a few days, it’s the
perfect time to make sure they hear us. So right now, we’ve got two big
things for you to do to make this mobilization a success:

* Before anything else, head over to the [ [link removed] ]Deadline for Democracy
website, find an event near you, and sign up to attend over the next
three weeks. Or, if there isn’t an event on the map in your area, get
a few friends together and [ [link removed] ]register your own event by clicking
here. Getting as many people in the streets and in Senate offices as
possible, and building enough media attention that senators can’t
ignore us is crucial to succeeding this recess. We need you to join
in. It worked for the Tea Party, and it worked for us when we saved
the Affordable Care Act. It will work again now if you can join.

* Then, [ [link removed] ]click here to make a donation to Indivisible. For this
recess alone, we’re planning to spend over $505,000 on things like
digital ads and recruitment, event swag, postcards, and more to ensure
a successful mobilization -- and it’s all a part of our bigger
democracy reform budget. We’re grassroots-funded, which means people
like you, giving an average of just $23, make our work possible.

If you’ve saved your information with ActBlue Express Lane, your donation
to Indivisible Project will go through immediately:

[ [link removed] ]Donate $10 >>

[ [link removed] ]Donate $25 >>

[ [link removed] ]Donate $50 >>

[ [link removed] ]Donate another amount >>

Watching the Senate GOP fight tooth and nail to keep the people’s voices
out of our government is infuriating. They’re doing it because they can’t
win on their policy positions: we have the people on our side.

We knew months ago that a situation like this was coming, and we’ve been
preparing for it. It’s time to put all those plans and all that energy
into motion and win. And no matter what happens, we’ll keep fighting,
because we the people deserve better, and we know just how much we can
accomplish when we work together. Every person -- including you -- can
make the difference in this fight, in whatever way works.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
