Indivisibles,

There is always hope in the face of adversity; today is no different. Over
the last seven days, we have watched our nation mobilize to remind
Republicans that we will not go back. We won’t go back to their
patriarchal, white nationalist vision of this country. There are more of
us than there are of them, and we will not sit idly by and let them roll
back our rights. 

To catch up, last Monday, a draft opinion leaked confirming our worst
fears -- the Republican Supreme Court plans to overturn Roe v. Wade. 

Justice Alito’s majority opinion goes lower than we thought he could go,
calling Roe “egregiously wrong” when it was decided, and declaring that
there is no fundamental right to an abortion because it is not explicitly
written into the constitution nor “deeply rooted in this nation’s history
and tradition.” 

In attacking abortion and setting American policy back fifty years, the
Republican Supreme Court is setting the table to undermine many
fundamental rights that we hold dear -- from access to birth control, to
gay marriage, to interracial marriage, to any private sexual relationship
Republicans may deem immoral, and we all know they won’t stop there. 

Senate Republicans have already said they plan to introduce a nationwide
ban on abortion if they ever regain power, and now we know the
conservative majority of the Supreme Court, installed by those same Senate
Republicans, won’t stop them.

We will not let them succeed. Our bodies belong to ourselves, and this
country belongs to the people. Today, and every day moving forward, we
will work to ensure those basic truths are never again forgotten. 

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Your 4 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Click here to find your local “Bans off” event this Saturday, May
14 to protest the end of Roe v Wade.  Planned Parenthood Action Fund
is organizing a mass collective of events across the country to
protest the end of Roe v Wade. Join Indivisibles across the nation in
rallying to support abortion rights this Saturday. More local events
are being added every day. If you don’t see one yet, check back later
in the week as the list is being regularly updated, and contact your
local Indivisible Group to make sure one is being organized in your
area. 
 2. [ [link removed] ]Click here to split a donation between Indivisible and Jessica
Cisneros for Texas’ 28th district. Jessica Cisneros is currently in a
run-off election against the last anti-choice “Democrat” in the House.
Her opponent, Henry Cuellar, voted against the Women’s Health
Protection Act and is a staunch anti-labor, anti-environment
conservative who has sided with extremists like Mitch McConnell and
Ted Cruz. Donate today to support Indivisible along with a pro-choice
progressive endorsed by her local Indivisible group as well as
Indivisible’s national political team. We have a chance to completely
eliminate anti-choice “Democrats” from the House, let’s do everything
in our power to make sure it happens.
 3. [ [link removed] ]Click here to access a list of local abortion funds where you
should donate. When Roe falls, 26 states are in line to criminalize
abortion with 13 of those states already having laws on the books that
impose that change immediately. The demand on local abortion funds
will increase immediately with some Americans needing to travel
hundreds of miles in order to make a personal medical decision. Let’s
make sure these funds are set up to support any and everyone who needs
an abortion.
 4. [ [link removed] ]Sign up here to get involved in our Give No Ground program to
ensure Democrats hold power in November. We need to make every
conservative politician in this country pay for their complicity in
this decision. That means doing everything in our power to elect more
progressive Democrats in November. Roe may fall this summer, but our
elected officials will still have the authority to make it federal law
and to expand the court so that this transparently Republican farce
can cause no more damage. We must elect enough progressive Democrats
to do it. (To be clear -- we mean a real progressive trifecta, not one
that depends on Joe Manchin).

 National Events 

Sign up today for our Deep Canvassing Training on [ [link removed] ]Tuesday, May 10 at
6pm ET/3pm PT or [ [link removed] ]Wednesday, May 11 at 9pm ET/6pm PT. 75% of people say
decisions on abortion should be left to the woman and her doctor, and 80%
of the American public thinks abortion should be legal. Those numbers mean
nothing if we don’t know how to convince people to vote. Sign up today for
a 1.5 hour training on the foundations of deep canvassing and to practice
the skills needed to move inconsistent or conflicted voters to action. The
two days will have very similar content with Tuesday using examples of
elections on the East Coast and Wednesday focusing on examples from the
West Coast. Sign up today. 

[ [link removed] ]Register for Organizing Call: Fighting Big Money with People Power on
Tuesday, May 10 at 7pm ET/4pm PT. Ever since Citizens United, corporate
money has had an outsized influence on our elections. Outside groups are
now pouring tens of millions of dollars into Democratic primaries to
support corporate Democrats against progressive champions. Indivisible’s
Leah Greenberg joins our movement partners at the Working Families Party
to explain what you can do to fight back.

[ [link removed] ]Register here for Movement Briefing: January 6 Select Committee
Hearings Thursday, May 12 at 7pm ET/4pm PT. Trump and extremist factions
engaged in a criminal conspiracy that incited the violent attack on our
country on January 6. Here’s the good news: The House committee charged
with investigating the January 6 attack is preparing for public hearings
to expose the full scope anti-democratic forces in this country. Join our
movement partners in a briefing to help us make sure these hearings break
through the busy news cycle and reach the general public.
