Indivisibles,
Wow, what a week it’s shaping up to be on the Hill. Over the weekend,
Speaker Pelosi said she wants to pass three bills this week: government
funding, the bipartisan infrastructure bill (BIF), and reconciliation
(recovery). As you know, it’s critically important that the House passes
reconciliation alongside the BIF in order to ensure the House passes a
bill comprehensive enough to meet this moment. With your help, we’ve been
supporting the CPC's demands for a big, inclusive recovery package -- one
that guarantees the investments that our communities desperately need.
Today, Reps. Jayapal, Omar, and Porter, wrote an op-ed reaffirming their
commitment to withholding their votes to deliver on both recovery and
infrastructure -- [ [link removed] ]click here to read the op-ed. Conservative Democrats
have been working hard to water down the package, and “corporate
lobbyists, Big Pharma, and Wall Street executives have declared all-out
war,” but progressives have remained strong, thanks to Indivisibles like
you making calls all month long. And leaders report that the progressive
bloc has grown to 60 votes ([ [link removed] ]click here to read the article) as members
from other caucuses have decided to join forces in blocking the
infrastructure bill.
In short, our pressure is working. That’s why we’re going to keep making
calls all week long until both bills -- the entire package -- is passed in
the House. [ [link removed] ]Click here to call your representative now. And now, your
weekly to-dos:

Your weekly to-dos
1. [ [link removed] ]Make calls on an inclusive recovery package before it’s too late.
Speaker Pelosi just announced that she wants to pass both an inclusive
recovery bill and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill (BIF) this week.
This means we’re in a key moment for advocacy as we fight to win the
most progressive reconciliation bill possible. With just a few days
left until the House vote, it is urgent that you call your
Representative and tell them how important it is that we pass an
inclusive recovery bill that works for everyone. Once you’ve called
your representative, [ [link removed] ]click here to call your senators and demand
they pass the bill immediately after the House sends it over.
2. [ [link removed] ]Call your senators and demand they move quickly on the Freedom to
Vote Act. Senate Democrats have released a new version of their
democracy reform bill called the Freedom to Vote Act. The Freedom to
Vote Act builds on the For the People Act and brings us closer to
passing transformational democracy reform this Congress. Call your
senators and let them know you want them to adjust the filibuster now
to pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
3. [ [link removed] ]Call your senators and tell them to protect Roe V. Wade now. The
House on Friday passed the Women's Health Protection Act, a bill aimed
at preserving access to an abortion nationwide, as Republican-led
state legislatures pass countless bills across the country threatening
abortion rights. The bill now has to pass a vote in the Senate, which
is why it is urgent that you call your senator and demand they protect
reproductive rights.
P.S. We rely on your support to keep call
pages up and running, fund ads to get the word out, and continue all the
work we’re doing this year. [ [link removed] ]If you’re able, click here to donate to

Last week, Clackamas Indivisibles rallied at
Representative Schrader’s Oregon City Office, decrying
Rep. Schrader’s vote against the drug pricing plan
included in the inclusive recovery bill.
This week is going to be a doozy, so be sure to keep up to date on all our
priorities as they move through Congress by following us on [ [link removed] ]Facebook,
