A setback is not a defeat, and our priorities are too crucial to let go easily Indivisibles,
January was a hard month, and it followed a year (and more) of hard work to use a Democratic trifecta to win democracy reform. All of us have been fighting for months or years to win real democracy reform and keep an arcane Senate rule from blocking progress on our most important issues -- and we suffered a real setback as two Democrats refused to side with their party and the people.
But a setback is not a defeat, and our priorities are much too crucial to let go that easily. Now that we’ve taken some time to regroup, we need your help to step into the next phase of our work. Keep a lookout over the next few weeks for more detail, but here’s what we know right now:
- We’re fighting to fill a Supreme Court vacancy with a Black woman with a clear progressive record. And once that’s done, we’ll still be working to reform our judiciary to reverse a decades-long ultra-conservative partisan takeover.
- We’re also looking for all the legislative battles we could still win. From finding ways to move forward as much of the Build Back Better agenda as possible, to working tactically on other priorities as they arise, we must demand that Democrats use the remainder of their trifecta to win real improvements for people’s lives.
- Through all these campaigns, we’re constantly working to find new, creative ways to engage the grassroots (that’s you!) and exert public pressure on decisionmakers.
Let’s be honest: None of this is going to be easy, and most of it probably won’t be quick either. The way we can win is by building a resilient movement of folks who can support each other while demanding our government put the needs of the people first. And that means investing in the work: doing the outreach to get people on board and offering the tools and resources they need to get engaged. We need your help to fund it all. If you can, set up a $5 monthly donation to support this work for the long haul through everything from ads and activist recruitment to digital tools, event supplies, and more. (And if you can’t commit monthly, that’s okay -- click here to make a one-time gift!)

Last month's turn for our democracy campaign wasn't the start to the year that we were hoping for, and we hope that you take the time you need to grapple with that. But we hope you’ll join us for the next phase of this fight when you’re ready -- we haven’t been defeated, only deterred, and we still have so much we can accomplish if we work together.
In solidarity, Indivisible Team
