Indivisibles,
We did it!
Last Thursday, the Senate confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the
Supreme Court by a bipartisan, 53-47 vote.
We knew there was a clear path, we knew she had been confirmed on a
bipartisan basis three times previously, and yet we waited with bated
breath after watching Republicans on the Committee on the Judiciary
disrespect, demean, and disparage Judge Jackson with transparently racist
attempts to smear her record and character.
But, just like she told Sen. Padilla during her confirmation hearings,
[ [link removed] ]she persevered.
We now have a historic Justice-to-be and that has happened because of your
dedication to turn up the pressure on your senators. Those bad-faith
Republican attacks against Judge Jackson’s character could have worked if
people decided to sit out of the nomination process. That did not come to
pass because folks like you got activated and stayed loud to ensure a
swift and fair confirmation.
This is the Indivisible theory of change in action and it starts and ends
with you.
When you get activated, you effect change. When you effect change, you
shape a better world.
So let’s keep it going, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your 3 weekly to-dos
1. [ [link removed] ]Click here to email President Biden and tell him to lower
prescription drug prices. This is a new addition to our Let’s Go Joe
Executive Actions Campaign focusing on healthcare: One in four
Americans struggles to afford medication they need to stay healthy,
while Big Phrama drives up drug prices to line their pockets. It is
time President Biden use his legal authority to dramatically lower the
cost of essential drugs like insulin, EpiPens, asthma inhalers, and
more.
2. [ [link removed] ]Click here to make a video urging Biden to declare a climate
emergency. The President has narrowly invoked the Defense Production
Act -- one of the most important powers that can be invoked under a
national emergency -- to increase production of mining in order to aid
in the manufacturing of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. It is good
that the administration has invoked the DPA, but this narrow focus is
not enough to address the climate crisis. We need to keep the heat on
and urge the White House to boldly use the power of the executive to
fully use the DPA to transition us to clean renewable energy and
declare a national climate emergency. For a brilliant example clip,
[ [link removed] ]watch this video by the wonderful Giovanna.
3. [ [link removed] ]Sign up for Indivisible’s National Rural Caucus. Whether you've
been organizing in your rural community for decades or are just

another, engage in rural electoral and advocacy work, and celebrate
rural resistance and power building. Sign up to receive a monthly

Let's Go Joe
[7]President Biden extended the federal student loan pause, let's go
farther by canceling student debt.
Last Wednesday, we secured another victory in the Let’s Go Joe campaign!
President Biden announced another extension to the pause for federal
student loan payments until August 31. This is a great first step that we
should celebrate! But we still want the administration to go further by
canceling at least $50,000 in debt for all borrowers. So, [ [link removed] ]click here to
tell Biden to cancel student debt and stay tuned for opportunities to take
action on that in the future.

IndivisiWin of the Week
[ [link removed] ]Tweet of coverage of the 35 Doors Project in
Pennsylvania
Vicki Miller, Group Leader of Indivisible Philadelphia,
was featured in an article about the 35 Doors Project
-- an initiative to get volunteers to knock on 35 doors
to get out the vote in Pennsylvania. “We ask people how
they’re feeling after the last several years, listen to
what’s on their mind and ask if they’re aware of the
election coming up…Research shows that voting begets
more voting. So if we can convince someone to vote in
the primary election, they are more likely to vote in
the general election.”
The last two weeks have been incredible displays of how ongoing action can
create change as we watched the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown
Jackson, the extension of the federal student loan pause, and the
announcement of a phase out of Title 42. We have many more challenges on
the horizon.
Follow us on [ [link removed] ]Facebook, [ [link removed] ]Twitter, and [ [link removed] ]Instagram to stay up to
date on our priorities moving forward and let these wins give us the
energy to keep marching on.
In solidarity,
