We're marching for voting rights! Indivisibles,
Tomorrow, Indivisibles along with activists all over the country are going to make history by taking part in the March On for Voting Rights. Will you join us?
The stakes are high -- statehouses around the country are being bombarded by undemocratic, racist legislation that undermines voting rights and targets voters of color -- and many bills have already been signed into law. This weekend, we’re sending a message to Congress to act now and pass federal voting rights legislation before it’s too late. Whether you want to attend virtually, find a march near you, or head to Washington, D.C., you can make a difference by showing your support for protecting voting rights.

We hope we’ll see you in the streets tomorrow!
In solidarity, Indivisible Team

Indivisibles,
We’ve got plans to make history next weekend and you’re invited -- join activists like you next Saturday to take part in the historic March On for Voting Rights in cities across the country. This comes exactly fifty-eight years after Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech and led the historic March on Washington, calling on the nation to rise up and end the legalized racial discrimination plaguing the country.
Half a century later and in the middle of another racial justice reckoning, state legislatures around the country are trying to reinstate systemic discrimination at the ballot box. Now, Martin Luther King III will help lead Americans on another march in honor of his father. Whether you want to head to Washington, D.C., find a march near you, or join virtually, your members of Congress need to know that voting rights are on the line. Join us and demand that Congress act now by passing federal voting rights legislation.
Click here for more information and join the marches in person or online.
This year alone, 48 states have introduced hundreds of voter suppression bills in an effort to stamp out participation in communities of color. Tactics like banning ballot drop boxes and mail-in voting, reducing early voting days and hours, restricting who can get a mail-in ballot, and more, are threatening our democracy in nearly every statehouse. Unfortunately, many of these racist, anti-democratic bills have already become law. Federal voting rights protections will guarantee everyone the right to vote -- but we have to act now before it’s too late. Click here to sign up. And then, if you’re able, consider making a donation to help support our democracy reform efforts. Click here to donate now.

P.s. If you want to do more, make calls on S. 1. The Senate may have missed the deadline for democracy, but we can still make an impact. Call your members of Congress and demand they choose democracy over the filibuster -- it’s time to pass the For the People Act.
