Indivisibles,

It feels like we’ve gotten bad news after bad news after bad news the last
few months. We’re proud of how Indivisibles have responded -- jumping in
to take action after breaking updates, reaching out to care for our
communities, and holding leaders accountable.

Right now we want to take a step back to dig into how all these moving
pieces are connected and what you can do about it. One thing we can say up
front: We have to fight like hell to expand progressive margins this
November, and we’re spending millions of dollars to do just that. [ [link removed] ]If

on what’s happening and our plan, read on.

At the top of many of our minds is the string of overtly political,
catastrophically regressive rulings from the Supreme Court. 

* Just yesterday, the Court voted 6-3 to gut the EPA’s mandate,
preventing it from regulating greenhouse gasses and combating climate
change. 
* In the already-infamous Dobbs case, the extremists on the Court
overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing the GOP to deny millions of people
abortion care and setting the stage for rollbacks of privacy, same-sex
relationships and marriage, contraceptive access, and other
constitutional rights we’ve relied on for decades. 
* The Court constrained Miranda rights, shielding law enforcement
officers from liability when they fail to read civilians their rights.

They also ruled, just weeks after the Uvalde mass shooting when dozens of
children and teachers were killed, and the Buffalo mass shooting, where
the victims were explicitly targeted because they were Black, to prevent
states from passing common-sense gun safety laws.

Even while all these rulings have been coming down, we’ve been watching
the public hearings of the House committee investigating the January 6
insurrection. And it’s become increasingly clear that Trump and his
associates in the GOP planned and incited a violent coup -- and if they
have another opportunity to regain power, they’ll do it again.

Taken altogether, these developments point to our institutions unraveling
at an alarming pace -- trust in the Supreme Court is at its lowest ever,
Republicans are holding the checks and balances of the three branches of
government hostage, and even the peaceful transfer of power is far from a
guarantee anymore.

So what do we do about it?

We celebrated alongside many of you yesterday when Ketanji Brown Jackson
was sworn in to become the first Black woman on the bench in the Supreme
Court’s 233-year history. And, as we’ve been saying for months, [ [link removed] ]we
cannot lay the responsibility and expectations to fix our broken judiciary
-- our broken government -- at her feet.

The moment we’ve found ourselves in is the culmination of a decades-long
project in the Republican party, and we’re not going to fix it overnight.
But we have to get started right now. It’s going to take massive reforms
to bring us back from the brink, and we’re fighting against powerful
forces who want us to fail. 

The Supreme Court has been taken over by MAGA extremists -- so we must
expand the Court to restore balance. The GOP is working to ban abortion
completely in states and eventually at the national level -- so we must
work to pass legislation to codify and protect access. All of this is
going to mean doing away with the filibuster so a GOP extremist minority
can’t block our progress, which in turn means we need more and stronger
champions in both chambers  of Congress. 

That’s why we’re so focused on winning in November. And it’s why we’re
spending over $3 million to make it happen. We need your help: Our
movement has beaten back Republican extremists before, and we can do it
again with support from the grassroots. [ [link removed] ]Click here to chip in $10 to
Give No Ground so we can fight for strong progressives who will eliminate
the filibuster, expand the Supreme Court, and protect our rights.

That still doesn’t answer the question of how we protect people between
now and November. What can you do today to fight back and keep your
communities safe? There are many answers to that question:

* [ [link removed] ]Find and donate to an abortion fund to preserve abortion access for
as many people as possible.
* Mobilize in your communities to spread the truth about the GOP’s
reactionary agenda ([ [link removed] ]click here to find a local Indivisible group
near you, and meet friends and neighbors who are just as committed as
you are to fight for our vision, our issues, and our candidates!!).
* Talk with your loved ones, neighbors, and others in your community
about what you’re seeing, why it’s so crucial not to give in, and how
you can work together to solve problems -- and stay tuned for more
guidance on how to have those conversations. 

No matter how you choose to speak up at this moment, take heart that we
have each other’s backs. That’s what we’re choosing to have hope in: not
head-in-the-sand, “everything will be alright” hope, but hope that we will
fight together and the fight will be worth it no matter what.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
