Indivisibles, 

We learned many things from the latest January 6th Committee hearings. 

We saw images of Sen. Josh Hawley riling up the crowd and then later
fleeing the very people whose insurrection he supported, and we heard
about members of Vice President Pence’s security detail leaving messages
for their family out of fear that they might be killed. All of this was
juxtaposed with the former president doing nothing in response besides
continuing to advocate for the theft of an election. 

Silence by a sitting president in the face of an insurrection would be
complicity. Actively tweeting in condemnation of your chosen Vice
President, who is in the path of the mob you provoked, is participation. 

But we knew this. Trump and MAGA extremism are intrinsically intertwined.
His refusal to condemn the insurrectionists was not a one-time lapse in
judgment but rather a continued execution of his plan to steal the
election and maintain power. 

In one of the most damning moments of the hearings, outtakes from the
former president’s Jan. 7 speech in response to the attempted coup showed
Trump stating, “I don’t want to say ‘the election is over’ I just want to
say ‘Congress has certified the results.’”

Even in the face of an attack on our democracy and multiple deaths, Trump
still refused to give up the farce of election fraud. 

As we all knew then and know now, the election was over. There was no
fraud. The extremists responsible for the violence of January 6th were
stoked by a movement of MAGA Republicans more concerned with maintaining
their own status than the health and function of our democracy. And they
are as committed to taking back power as ever.

That election may have been over, but this one has just started. As we
count down this weekend to being 100 days out from the November 8 midterm
elections, let’s remember just how close we came to a coup. 
Let’s remember who was responsible. 
Let’s remember who continued to incite the insurrectionists. 
Let’s remember who refused to condemn them. 
And let’s remember that those same people are attempting to wrest control
of our democracy all over again. 

It is time to go all in to defeat MAGA mayhem. If we don’t put the work in
now, January 6th won’t only be a memory but a prediction of our future.

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

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

 Your 5 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Click here to register for Indivisible’s National Phonebank for
Mandela Barnes on Sunday, July 31 at 4pm ET/1pm PT. To win in
November, we must put the work in today. In celebration of being 100
days out from the election, Friday begins Indivisible’s Weekend of
Action jumpstarting our campaign to Give No Ground. Groups all over
the country will be holding events. Join us in our first national
phonebank of the cycle for endorsed candidate Mandela Barnes in
Wisconsin. 
 2. [ [link removed] ]Click here to register for Indivisible’s Bird-dogging Training on
Tuesday, August 2 from 8:00-9:30pm ET/5:00-6:30pm PT. Bird-dogging is
a powerful tactic used by grassroots activists to get candidates and
elected officials on the record about important issues. As we get
closer to Nov. 8, it’s important that people see just how little these
MAGA Republicans represent the will of the people. Learn how best to
use their own statements against them at this training. This training
will be facilitated by one of the founders of Bird-dog Nation. 
 3. [ [link removed] ]Click here to call your senator and demand they pass the Markey
Court Expansion Bill. Even as Democrats work to expand our rights, the
threat of them being overturned by the Supreme Court looms large. We
must expand the court after Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell conspired
to pack it for generations to come. The only way to re-legitimize the
court is to expand it. Contact your senator and, when you’re done,
[ [link removed] ]click here to contact your representative and tell them to pass
Rep. Mondaire Jones' House version of the bill.
 4. [ [link removed] ]Click here to call your senator and tell them to pass the Right to
Contraception Act and the Marriage Equality Act immediately. Following
the Dobbs decision, same-sex marriage and access to contraception are
now on the chopping block for the Republican Supreme Court. We cannot
allow the MAGA-led rollback of our rights to continue -- not while our
senators have the power to intervene. Voting against these bills would
be wildly unpopular and put these politicians’ careers in jeopardy
(which is why we saw some House Republicans vote with Democrats on
these bills). Let’s make sure Republican senators know it too!
 5. [ [link removed] ]Click here to register to Give No Ground. The fight for our
country’s future begins today. If we do not hold the House and achieve
a real majority in the Senate, our plans to codify basic human rights
will falter. To win, we must get the message out. Give No Ground is
our home for opportunities to phonebank, textbank, canvass, postcard,
and more so that when November comes around, we can say that we gave
it our all for democracy. And, while you’re there, check out the new
[ [link removed] ]Give No Ground resource hub to dive into more information about the
tools and tactics we’ll use to win in November. 

The work of defending democracy continues with your help. In order to keep
Give No Ground running and to fund all of the work we do here at

 National Events 

[ [link removed] ]Click here to join the Rural Caucus in the election kick-off call this
Wednesday, July 27 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. This call will feature a presentation
by Rachel Rivas of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project
where she will provide an overview of various sectors of extremists, how
to identify their insignias or symbols, and ideas on how you can use this
information to increase your electoral safety practices. These meetings
have a rural lens but are open to all Indivisibles looking to build the
movement. 

[ [link removed] ]Click here to register for Indivisible’s Deep Canvassing Phonebank for
Andy Levin, Mark Kelly, Jamie Mcleod-Skinner, and Katie Porter this
Thursday, July 28 from 7pm-10pm ET/5pm-8pm PT. Deep canvassing is a proven
method for persuading and moving voters to action even across ideological
differences. At this event, you’ll receive a 1hr training on deep
canvassing fundamentals, followed by a 2hr phonebank + debrief for the
Western or Central Give No Ground candidate of your choice. At our last
deep canvassing phonebank, we were able to move 10% of the voters we
talked to which is a massive shift in the electorate, especially in close
races! We will specifically focus on abortion in these phonebanks; so,
come learn how to effect change in the abortion debate while making calls
for progressive champions.

[ [link removed] ]Click here to register for the Give No Ground National Activist
Election Call on Thursday, August 4 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. The 2022 midterms
will be less than 100 days away! The political landscape continues to
shift. Get an inside look at what Indivisibles are doing this election to
make sure we Give No Ground to the radical right in November.

[ [link removed] ]Click here to register for the Freedom is on the Ballot: Tested Ads
and Messaging training on Thursday, August 4 from 1:00pm-2:15
ET/10:00am-11:15 PT. In collaboration with ASO Communications, Community
Change, Future Forward, MoveOn, and Way to Win, we’re calling for all
communicators, influencers, and activists to join us in discussing the
tested storylines that have been most effective in inspiring voters and
fighting back against Trump Republicans’ attacks. With freedom on the
ballot, we must go on offense now putting out effective content to render
clear the stages and terms of this election in order to ignite voters’
anger and turn it into active resistance to the MAGA
agenda.
