There's a lot going on today!

Indivisibles, 

It’s been a big day here at Indivisible H.Q.: 

  • First: We watched the powerful Senate Rules Committee Field Hearing on S. 1 in Atlanta, GA, and celebrated as a letter from GA Indivisible groups was entered into the official Senate record. We want to send a big “thank you” to the Senate Dems who fought hard to make this hearing a success and showed us all just how necessary S.1 is.
  • At the same time: we were also glued to coverage of the Poor People’s Campaign’s Women's #MoralMonday March on Washington. During the march, our co-founder Leah was arrested when she joined hundreds of other women leaders to demand the Senate abolish the filibuster to pass voting rights and the $15 minimum wage. 

With a start like that to the week, we’re ready to get a lot more done in the next seven days. So here are this week’s to-dos:


Your Weekly To-Dos

  1. Make a call on S.1, get a sticker. We know we sound like a broken record, but making calls to your Senators about abolishing the filibuster and passing S. 1, the For the People Act, is mission critical right now. This month, if you make a call using our form, we’ll send you a 🚫No Filibuster 🚫 sticker to thank you for lending your voice. (Don’t forget to hit “I’m done!” in the red bar at the bottom of the page to claim your sticker after you call.)
  2. Attend the next Moral Monday event with the Poor People’s Campaign. The event Leah joined this week was one in a series of events each Monday in July. Next week, they’re planning events at Senate offices all over the country -- check out their website for more info. Important note: These are civil disobedience events, which means there’s a chance of arrest. If you’re going, make sure you attend their training in advance.
  3. Make a call about the Recovery package. The Senate released their draft budget resolution last week, and we’re glad it includes many of our top priorities. But the $3.5 trillion offered by the Senate is the floor, not the ceiling, and House Democrats must use the power of their majority to augment this proposal to truly meet the scale of the current crises. Read the resource about the recovery package, then pick your top issue and make a call. 

P.S. If you like these resources, including this newsletter, please consider chipping in $5 or so to fund our work. Grassroots donations allow us to do all this work and more, and we truly can’t do it without you.
