Indivisibles,
It’s here! Today’s the first day of [ [link removed] ]Deadline for Democracy, our massive
across-the-country, multi-organization campaign to spend this Senate
recess telling every senator that we demand they go back in July and pass
the For the People Act with no more delays.
It’s go time, so with no further ado, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Bonus: 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 It’s a little out of date now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 last week’s 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.

This Week on the Hill
The House and Senate are on recess this week, meaning they’re in their
home states and districts for the 4th of July. That means the Hill is
relatively quiet, but the districts will be hopping, which is why we’re
laser-focused on Deadline for Democracy Events (see: the rest of this
email.) But there are a few other things we’re watching closely.
1. Supreme Court: The last few decisions from this session of the Supreme
Court are likely to come down this week, and we’ll be watching them
closely. And as always at the end of a session, there’s some chance of
a Justice announcing their retirement. If that happens, we’ll of
course be pushing for the president to nominate and the Senate to
confirm quickly.
2. Recovery (Reconciliation Package): Last week, Speaker Pelosi pledged
that Democrats will not pass the bipartisan infrastructure deal
without passing a reconciliation bill first. This is a Congressional
Progressive Caucus demand that we continue to support. The
reconciliation package currently includes Medicare expansion,
citizenship for DACA and TPS recipients, and more of our progressive
priorities. [ [link removed] ]Here’s our explainer on the full package.
3. Climate: Amidst some of the highest temperatures the western U.S. has
ever experienced, our partners at the Sunrise Movement are holding a
day of action for climate today, demanding President Biden prioritize
good jobs and the climate. We are proud to support them.
