Indivisibles,
If you didn’t see yet -- late Tuesday night, Republicans once again
blocked key democracy reform provisions in the For the People Act from
moving forward in the Senate, even smaller bills advancing
anti-gerrymandering and money in politics provisions that are popular
across the political spectrum.
Just like we predicted in our updated Indivisible Guide back in January,
the GOP is refusing to even debate on a more responsive democracy, even
when Democrats make concessions to try to get them on board. That doesn’t
mean we can’t get it done -- it means we have to fix the way the Senate
works so we can put the will of the people into law. That’s where
Indivisibles come in.
We expect (and demand) that S. 1 will be the first thing the Senate takes
up when they come back from recess. That means we need to spend the next
few weeks preparing to fight it out, again, and make sure senators clear
every last hurdle when they return to D.C. after Labor Day. We’re going to
need to use all the tried-and-true Indivisible tactics and more to win
this one: calls, events, press coverage, ads, letters to the editor, you
name it.
So we’re pouring resources into all this work -- we’re keeping all our web
and call tools up and running, placing ads in newspapers and digital
channels, giving our volunteers tailored advice and resources through
on-the-ground organizing, and more, all to get more and more activists on
board and prove to senators that Indivisibles won’t be ignored. We need
your help to do it.
Our tools, our resources, our expert staff: They all cost money. And
grassroots support is our bread and butter, because we believe that the
people deserve a real say in the work. But it means that when the fights
get tough, we need to ask -- [ [link removed] ]please donate $10 today to fund the tools
and the organizing it will take to pass S. 1, implement real democracy
reform, and give all our progressive priorities a chance.

Democrats have all the evidence they need that the GOP isn’t going to play
along. Now it’s time for them to buckle down and clear the hurdles to get
money out of politics, end gerrymandering and voter suppression, and build
a more inclusive democracy. You heard from Ezra yesterday, but we want to
repeat: This fight is not over. This is a setback, but we can still win.
The Indivisible movement was built on the idea that winning change is
possible -- as long as the people refuse to back down and let electeds
make excuses. They work for us, and it’s time to remind them of that. We
still have a shot, so let’s take it.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
