folks.

There've been a lot of moving pieces (and crimes!) recently, but we can
feel this energy culminating into something big. Just last week, you
stepped up and made over 157,000 calls to Congress and to constituents in
key states about impeachment (yay Hubdialer!). The message here is loud
and clear: it's time for Congress to pick a side -- truth or Trump?

Over the next few weeks, we've gotta keep showing up and demanding our
elected officials represent the majority of voters who support
impeachment. That means continuing to call our members of Congress who
haven't come out of the right side of this fight yet. It means pushing our
senators to commit publicly to a fair and open trial ([ [link removed] ]you may also want
to ask them this one simple question). It means calling constituents in
places like Arizona, and Colorado, and Maine when you're done with your
calls to really amp up the pressure for key Senate Republicans. It means
showing up for recess in November. In short: there's a LOT of work left to
do.

We’ve got a big announcement coming later in the week about our plans to
drive impeachment home, but in the meantime, we need everyone to continue
planning [ [link removed] ]ImpeachNow recess events (recess for the House begins November
3 and runs through Veterans Day on November 11, which means your members
of Congress will be home on your turf and ready to hear from you). Now’s
our chance to show up at every district office, at every Veterans Day
Parade (where we know every senator will be marching) and make impeachment
an issue for them no matter what they’re doing.

Perhaps, we should all RSVP to GOP-FL [ [link removed] ]Rep Francis Rooney’s retirement
party?!

Ok. In non-criminal administration news, be sure to [ [link removed] ]tune into a special
Facebook Live with Leah and Ezra as they take questions and talk about our
new book - We are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump is
really just a love letter to the movement and a collection of all of our
stories. And if you haven’t pre-ordered yet, [ [link removed] ]then go ahead and do that
right here.

And now for your weekly to-dos:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Your 5 weekly to-dos

 1. [ [link removed] ]Sign up to make some calls connecting voters to Senators to demand
a complete and fair impeachment trial. We've identified 13 Senators
who our political and policy experts believe we can sway -- and now
we're asking you to call voters in their states and ask those voters
to turn up the pressure on their elected officials. It’s a simple
four-part process: 

* You sign up for a shift for Hubdialer and use our
super-easy-to-use-platform to call a voter in one of our target
states. These folks are your friends -- they fight for
progressive causes.
* You explain they have power now and what's at stake in the
impeachment fight. And you explain why it's so important that
they talk to their senator.
* You ask them to use their power by calling their members of
Congress. You can tell them a little about why calls matter.
* When they agree, you hit a button and patch them through to their
senator's office. Then, you make more calls to more voters -- and
these Senate Republicans really get an earful.

 2. [ [link removed] ]Tell your member of Congress to support improvements to the
Democrats’ prescription drug price bill. H.R.3  is headed to the Ways
and Means committee this week, and probably to a floor vote not to
long after that. We’re running out of time to make this bill better.
There’s so much more we can do to benefit the average American family
and the daily battles with prescription coverage. We need Congress to
put a face to this fight. And maybe that face is yours. So be sure to
tell your Member of Congress just how important expanding H.R.3 is to
you and your family.
 3. [ [link removed] ]Join us on a special Facebook Live on tomorrow, October 21 at 8pm
with Leah and Ezra. We’ll be talking shop about what went into the
upcoming book, We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After
Trump, and answering all your questions!
 4. [ [link removed] ]Don't wait! Pre-order your copy of the book. By pre-ordering your
book, you’re eligible to join the [ [link removed] ]Indivisible Book Contest! All
you have to do is pre-order, tag a picture of the receipt, and tag us

 5. [ [link removed] ]Register for the National Activist Call on Nov 7 at 8 PM ET. We’re
going to cover the latest updates on the impeachment inquiry in the
House, recap the Defund Hate we of action from September, and give you
the latest on the Indivisible book -- so make sure to tune in!

 2020 Update 

This week, we’re seeing some major endorsements and a continuing stream of
exciting progressive policy plans in the Democratic primary. Check out
some examples below:

* [ [link removed] ]Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Sanders rally in New York.
In what is being reported as the biggest single candidate event of the
2020 cycle so far, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed
Bernie Sanders for president at a rally this weekend in Queens, NY.
The event underscored just how much progressive energy is driving this
primary and that progressives like Ocasio-Cortez are refusing to stay
on the sidelines in this election.
* [ [link removed] ]Senator Warren releases a K-12 education plan aimed at opportunity
and access. K-12 education doesn’t get a lot of love in presidential
elections—especially when there’s a whirlwind of corruption
interrupting every hour of every day. But we all know Warren has a
plan for virtually everything, and this is no exception. The rollout
calls back to her pledge in May to nominate a former public school
teacher as Secretary of Education—[ [link removed] ]a pledge made at the suggestion
of Invisible Nation BK leader Liat Olenick!

 We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump 

Every week we’re sharing key excerpts from the book with our movement. We
ended last week with Christine Hanna creating a Facebook group for
Tampa-area women the day after the election. By evening, she had a
thousand members of what would eventually become Indivisible Action Tampa
Bay...

The overwhelming feeling was one of fear. Fear of what the election of
Donald Trump meant for the policy gains of the Obama administration. Fear
of what this election meant for the people Trump had openly promised to
harm: Muslims, Dreamers and other immigrants, refugees, and more. Fear of
what this meant for the Supreme Court.

Fear, fundamentally, of what this meant for democracy itself. 

We were right to be afraid, then and now. Trump is a uniquely grotesque
human in a position of immense power, an aggressively ignorant buffoon
whose authoritarian instincts and malice are only outweighed (when we’re
lucky) by his incompetence.

But while Trump’s election was a shock to our democratic system, the
system had already been weakened long before he arrived on the scene.
That’s why this chapter, this book—this whole Indivisible movement—is not
about Donald Trump. It’s about what allowed him to take power. It’s about
what came before Trump and what will remain after he is defeated or
imprisoned or both.

To Be Continued…

 Support the Movement 

We’ve got a secret weapon to impeach President Trump: a tool that turns
the energy of thousands of activists nationwide into specific, targeted
calls to persuadable senators. It’s called HubDialer, and in the last two
weeks, Indivisibles have used it to make more than 153,000 calls to help
constituents target senators like John Cornyn, Thom Tillis, and Martha
McSally.

HubDialer is a great way for Indivisibles who have already called their
own senators to multiply their impact. But our work isn’t over -- we have
a goal of making 1.1 MILLION calls, because we know that’s what it’s going
to take to get our senators to listen. We’re committed to keeping
HubDialer on for as long as it takes to make our voices heard -- but it’s
not cheap.

We’re spending $145,000 to pay for 24,000 hours of activist calling. We
rely on individual donors to make work like this possible -- [ [link removed] ]can you
pitch in $10 today to fund HubDialer and support all our work?



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 IndivisWin of the Week 

 

Every week, we see more and more amazing actions being
held by Indivisibles. Check out Indivisible of AZ

Before we go, we just wanna emphasize how much everything you’re doing
matters to this fight we’re in: for impeachment, for making prescription
drugs affordable, for democracy reform. Every sign, every banner, every
protest, every roadside honk-a-thons; it all makes a difference. So keep
at it -- we’re almost over the hill.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
