Indivisibles,

It’s December, which means that it’s time to impeach the president. 

Tomorrow, the House Intelligence Committee will vote on Adam Schiff’s
impeachment report, which is expected to provide the basis for the
articles of impeachment that will be drafted. And then on Wednesday, the
House Judiciary Committee will be holding its first hearing on what an
impeachable offense is -- in short, this is a pivotal week for our
movement, and we expect it to be critically important for moving the
needle on impeachment.

To recap, in the last few weeks, we learned that there's mounting evidence
proving Trump’s corruption -- witness testimony, texts, emails, memos, and
transcripts -- all pointing to what Trump HIMSELF already admitted -- that
he tried to bribe Ukraine to help him in the 2020 election. Trump’s own
officials, including Gordon Sondland, the Ambassador to the European Union
and mega-donor to Trump’s campaign, testified under oath that Trump tried
to bribe Ukraine and everyone in the White House knew about it.

A few other Republican talking points have been disproven in the last
week. Trump’s allies have been arguing that when Trump demanded President
Zelensky investigate the Bidens, Zelensky didn’t know that Trump was
withholding aid to Ukraine. This isn’t true. Deputy Assistant Secretary of
Defense [ [link removed] ]Laura Cooper testified under oath that the Ukrainians asked
about the aid on the day of the call.

The GOP also claims that Trump called Sondland to tell him there’s “no
quid pro quo,” and claim that somehow proves that Trump never tried to
bribe the Ukrainians. [ [link removed] ]However, there’s new evidence that shows that
call didn’t happen -- there’s no witness corroboration and no White House
call records.

As we’ve mentioned before, the GOP is attacking the process because they
know they can’t actually defend Trump’s crimes. They don’t want the truth
to come out, which is why the White House continues to block witnesses
like Mick Mulvaney and John Bolton from testifying, and why Trump is
refusing to participate in Wednesday’s hearing.

The next week is likely to be ablaze in news of more crimes and
GOP-approved talking points straight out of a dumpster fire, but we MUST
continue to remain focused on these three truths:

 1. Trump orchestrated a bribery scheme to push Ukraine to interfere in
the 2020 election.
 2. High-level government officials helped, including Devin Nunes, Mick
Mulvaney, and even VP Mike Pence.
 3. Trump committed impeachable abuses of power -- like BRIBERY.

If you’re behind on impeachment news (it’s okay -- there’s been a ton!),
you can catch up with [ [link removed] ]Impeachment Daily, and this [ [link removed] ]news reading list
that we tweeted out last week.

First, your weekly to-dos: 

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

 Your 6 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Sign up to make some calls connecting voters to 13 key senators.
With impeachment hearings moving forward this week in the House, it’s
critically important that we prepare for the next stage -- a fair
impeachment trial in the Senate. We’ve hit 600,000 calls (!!) but we
still have a ways to go to make our goal of calling one million
constituents of the 13 senators who really need to hear from them.
We're asking you to call voters in those states and ask them to turn
up the pressure on their elected officials. It’s a simple four-part
process:

- You call a progressive voter in a key state with one of these 13
Republicans. These folks are your friends—they attended the Women’s
March and/or fight for progressive causes.
- You explain how they have power now. You’ll remind them why the
continued fight for impeachment is so important—and why they have
particular power in this moment.
- You ask them to use their power. Then, you’ll ask them to call their
senator and make their voices heard on why we’re demanding courage in
this moment.
- You push a button and connect them to their senator’s office. The
call tool will allow you to automatically patch them through to the
senator’s DC office.

 2. [ [link removed] ]Register or find a Trump is Not Above the Law Impeachment Eve event
now. We need to show that there is massive public support for
impeaching Trump for his crimes and abuses of power. That’s why the
night before the House of Representatives takes a historic vote to
impeach Trump, we'll take to the streets to declare that Nobody Is
Above the Law. There are more than 265 events on the map as of now
with more being added every day. Make sure to RSVP for (or host) one
near you.
 3. [ [link removed] ]Write a letter to the editor on impeachment. This is a critical
moment for our democracy -- a moment that requires us to turn up the
heat on our elected officials, demand that they hold Trump
accountable, and encourage others to get involved. Write a letter to
the editor of your local newspaper and make sure your member of
Congress and your neighbors know that nobody is above the law.
 4. [ [link removed] ]Tell the House to lower prescription drug prices by improving H.R.
3. Nearly three in ten people in the country say they lack the funds
to pay for their prescriptions. It’s time for Congress to act to take
on Big Pharma’s greed. H.R. 3, which will likely get a vote in the
House in mid-December, is a valuable first step, but it can still be
expanded to benefit even more people, and put billions more dollars
back in families’ pockets. Call your Member of Congress and tell them
to improve H.R. 3 using our call script above!
 5. [ [link removed] ]Register for the National Activist Call on Dec 5 at 8 PM ET. Make
sure to join us to get the latest on the impeachment inquiry in the
House, hear about the results of our presidential debate polling, and
learn what’s coming next in our 2020 plan!
 6. [ [link removed] ]Get involved in the fight for Medicare for All on Dec 4 at 8 PM
ET. Our friends at Public Citizen have invited Congressional champions
to share insights about how local resolutions efforts, like the
recently passed resolution in Los Angeles, can support the growing
momentum for Medicare for All in Congress. Make sure to RSVP to learn
more from the activists and policymakers who pushed those resolutions
across the finish line, and to get organizing updates from across the
country.

 2020 Update 

With November behind us, more candidates are starting to ask the essential
question of any struggling presidential campaign: is this really still
worth it? This week, at least two decided the answer is no! Meanwhile, we
look ahead to the debates and check out some recent endorsements: 

→ [ [link removed] ]Joe Sestak and Steve Bullock drop out. It was bound to happen: like
many other lower-tier candidates, neither had a realistic path to the
nomination. Former Pennsylvania Rep. Sestak jumped in relatively late and
made very little impact during his time in the race. Montana Gov. Steve
Bullock at least made it to the debate stage once, but was ultimately
crowded out by other moderates in the field.
→ [ [link removed] ]Warren picks up important Florida endorsement. Last week, the
progressive grassroots mobilization group, New Florida Majority, issued an
endorsement for Sen. Elizabeth Warren for President. The endorsement is
yet another grassroots movement pickup for Warren. She also received an
endorsement this week from [ [link removed] ]Chicago-area Rep. Jan Schakowsky.
→ [ [link removed] ]December 12 is the deadline to qualify for the next debate. So far,
six candidates have met the qualification threshold, with four of the
candidates from the last debate left to scramble for donations, favorable
polls, or both. The four candidates who made November’s debate and are
fighting to reach the stage again are Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Tulsi
Gabbard, billionaire activist Tom Steyer, and businessman Andrew Yang.
Recent entrants Michael Bloomberg and Deval Patrick will also be looking
to make some progress to reach future debates, but are unlikely to qualify
for December.

 Support Indivisble on Giving Tuesday 

We’ve got the plans we need to win major progressive change in 2020. We’re
building a Blue Wave, pushing for strong, inclusive policies on issues
like immigration and healthcare, and working to save our democracy. 

But we’re spending $1,000,000 on our congressional endorsements program
next year. A week of action costs us $50,000. Sending a single text
message costs $6,000. Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, so we’re asking you to
help us make all that possible -- and a donor is matching all gifts made
to Indivisible Action up to $25,000. We need to raise $250,000 by the end
of Giving Tuesday to stay on track -- [ [link removed] ]can you pitch in $15 to get us
there and put all of Indivisible’s work into action?
