Indivisibles,

Earlier today, Indivisible co-led a joint letter urging Senate Majority
Leader Chuck Schumer to re-engage talks on the reconciliation package --
[ [link removed] ]read the letter here. If you’ve missed our previous primer, take a
second out of your day [ [link removed] ]to learn more about executive action here.  

Why would you put those together, aren’t they opposite tactics?

A lot of attention has been paid to the Build Back Better bill stalling in
the Senate. Since we want to advance President Biden’s agenda, we’re not
holding back on our plan to convince him that a strategy of enacting
executive actions is both prudent and utterly normal (FDR signed over 3000
executive orders while in office). So, we are encouraging President Biden
to take action as quickly as possible to address issues like climate and
student debt. 

But executive actions have their limits. Congressional legislation has
both a wider range of applications and a more enduring legacy (executive
actions can be immediately reversed by the next presidential
administration with the stroke of a pen). Because of that, in an ideal
world, we would want Congress to pass as many of our policy priorities as
possible to promote progress. And, on the heels of a renewed call from
Biden to pass his legislative agenda, there’s hope we can revitalize the
reconciliation bill.

So, we do both.

We pressure President Biden to use the powers granted to him, by virtue of
his elected office, to enact his agenda while simultaneously urging our
congressional representatives to put aside partisan politics and pass
policies that the American people so desperately need. We follow both
pathways -- encouraging our elected officials to enact legislation that
will benefit the American people (and the world) both in the immediate
future and for years to come. 

So, with that, here are your weekly to-dos:

 Your 4 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Click here to sign up for the Let’s Go Joe Livestream on Wednesday,
March 23rd. Learn about the possibilities of executive action directly
from us along with some very important guests to be announced soon.  
 2. [ [link removed] ]Click here to urge President Biden to take immediate action on
climate. We can not wait to address the climate crisis. Every day that
we delay is one more step towards an uninhabitable planet Earth. 
 3. [ [link removed] ]Click here to urge President Biden to take immediate action on
student debt. Federal student loan interest and repayments have been
paused for two years now and, in that time, borrowers are saving
approximately $5 billion per month on interest. It’s time we give
people permanent relief.
 4. [ [link removed] ]Click here to call your senator and urge them to support Judge
Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court. Judge Jackson is
qualified. Judge Jackson has had bipartisan support in her previous
judicial nominations. Call on our senators to do what we all know is
right: Confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson without delay. And, if you
need help, [ [link removed] ]click here to access a resource for pushing back on
right wing Supreme Court nomination lies.

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.
