Hey Indivisibles,
Hopefully you had a refreshing weekend, because we have a busy week ahead
of us! First of all, let’s talk about reconciliation. As we are sure you
remember, the House of Representatives stuck to their promises and passed
Biden’s full Build Back Better agenda (BBB). Now the bill has made its way
to the Senate, where we expect senators to come to an official vote as
soon as possible. Biden’s full Build Back Better Agenda will make badly
needed public investments across the economy, so we need to keep pushing
for a vote to get past the last few hurdles (including pushback from our
usuals: Sens. Manchin and Sinema).
Now for democracy: There was a failed procedural vote on the John Lewis
Voting Rights Advancement Act on November 3. [ [link removed] ]Senator Schumer has sent
out another “Dear Colleague” letter to his fellow senators. In this
letter, Schumer states that even if he cannot get enough GOP support
behind the John Lewis Advancement Act, Senate Democrats are not going to
stop fighting to “restore our democracy” -- even if they have to go at it
alone. Indivisibles who live in Republican states have gotten together to
write Senator Schumer and other Senate Democrats a letter of their own --
reminding them how important it is to our democracy that the John Lewis
Voting Rights Advancement Act is passed. It’s on us to keep pushing for
Democrats to fix the filibuster and pass this massively popular bill.
Lastly, Giving Tuesday is tomorrow! With the help of Indivisibles like
you, we have fought for an inclusive recovery that meets the moment, we
have fought for democracy reform, the reproductive rights of people, and
so much more, and it’s all possible because of grassroots donors. Giving
Tuesday is our chance to come together to fund this movement for the many
fights to come: [ [link removed] ]Chip in today to help us reach our Giving Tuesday goal
and start 2022 strong.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Weekly To-Dos
1. [ [link removed] ]Call your senator and demand they pass BBB as quickly as possible!
The House just passed the Build Back Better Act (BBB) and now it is on
its way to the Senate. Now it is time for the Senate to do its job and
pass BBB this week. With just a few days left before recess, it is
urgent that you call your senator and tell them how important it is
that we pass an inclusive recovery bill that works for everyone ASAP.
2. [ [link removed] ]Call your Senator and demand they fix the filibuster and move
quickly to pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Senate Democrats have
released a new version of their democracy reform bill called the
Freedom to Vote Act. Senator Schumer along with other Democratic
Senators have agreed to move forward with democracy reform, even
without Republican support for the bill. Call your Senators and let
them know you stand with Sen. Schumer, and you want them to adjust the
filibuster now to pass the Freedom to Vote Act before they leave town
for the holidays.
3. [ [link removed] ]Make a $10 donation to Indivisible this Giving Tuesday. With all
eyes on the Senate for the Build Back Better and democracy reform
votes, we’re hard at work building resources, call scripts, and more,
and spending a lot of money to do it. To be honest, we’ve fallen a
little behind our fundraising goal this month -- [ [link removed] ]chip in today to
help us close the gap before the month is up.
