Indivisibles, 

Election season is underway. After years of challenging election outlooks
and continuous campaigning, we are all looking for a little inspiration as
to how to move forward. What does an inspired campaign look like in 2022? 

Enter John Fetterman. 

Fetterman is running for Senate in Pennslyvania against Trump-endorsed
Mehmet Oz. Though Oz has no previous political experience and is mostly
known for peddling controversial medical opinions on TV, this race was
seen early on as competitive amid fears that Trump’s influence in
Pennsylvania could help carry Oz to a victory. 

Then the Fetterman campaign went to work. 

They lambasted Oz for being an out of touch millionaire who was
carpetbagging (the practice of running for office in a location where you
don’t live), [ [link removed] ]casting him as a tourist and even having [ [link removed] ]reality TV
personality Snooki from Jersey Shore create a cameo talking about his
residency. They made stickers mocking how out of touch Oz is with
Pennsylvania’s voters after Oz took a trip to a large regional chain
supermarket, mispronounced it's name, and proceeded to get “crudité,”
raising more than $500,000 for the campaign in the day immediately
following Oz’ gaffe. And, most recently, they fact-checked Oz’ claim that
he only “legitimately” owned two houses with the [ [link removed] ]reality that he owns
ten. 

The Fetterman campaign has been incredibly adept at pointing out the
absurdity of a television personality worth up to an estimated $500
million casting himself as representative of everyday Pennsylvanians. 

And Indivisibles got right on board.

This is what we do at our best. Find creative ways to remind voters that
our opponents are so out of touch, so extreme, that there is no comparison
-- for a full thread of the incredible work PA Indivisibles have been
doing to win this November, [ [link removed] ]check out this thread of just 24 hours of
work.

Their work is creative. Their work is fun. Their work is topical. But most
of all, their work is impactful. When we get out on the front lines
finding new ways to call out MAGA extremism, we win. 

Let’s use this blueprint to continue coming up with brilliant new tactics
across the country and fill voters in our areas with both hope and joy. 

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

 Your 5 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Click here to register for a Give No Ground phone bank for Sen.
Raphael Warnock on tonight, August 22nd at 7pm ET/4pm PT. We will be
celebrating the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act with a phone
bank to make sure we have the power to enact other impactful policy
moving forward. Warnock won by just over 90,000 votes in his 2020
special election. We cannot afford to lose this seat moving forward. 
 2. [ [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. MAGA Republicans are mobilizing, but there
are more of us than there are of them. Let’s make sure we show it!
 3. [ [link removed] ]Click here to call your senator and tell them to pass the Marriage
Equality Act. Following the Dobbs decision, same-sex marriage is now
on the chopping block for the Republican Supreme Court. Recently,
Senate Republicans blocked passage of the Right to Contraception Act
reminding us that our rights are not only in jeopardy, but Republicans
will actively refuse to enshrine them into law without pressure. We
cannot allow the MAGA-led rollback of our rights to continue -- not
while our senators have the power to intervene. Voting against the
Marriage Equality Act would be wildly unpopular and put these
politicians’ careers in jeopardy (which is why we saw some House
Republicans vote with Democrats on it). Let’s make sure Republican
senators know it too! 
 4. [ [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.
 5. Do you live in a rural area? [ [link removed] ]Click here to join our National Rural
Program. We have special election resources and calls specifically for
our rural Indivisibles where you can learn more about strategies and
issues specific to Indivisibles living in rural areas. If you want an
idea of what that looks like, [ [link removed] ]click here to check out our agenda
and notes from previous meetings.

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 register for the Deep Canvassing Phonebank to Conflicted
Pro-Choice Voters (West) this Thursday, August 25th from 8pm-11pm
ET/5pm-8pm PT. Deep canvassing is a proven method for persuading and
moving voters to action even across ideological differences. In these
phonebanks, we’re calling voters who are likely pro-choice but don’t
always vote for Democrats, having open conversations about their stake in
abortion access, and inviting them to act on their beliefs by voting for
progressive candidates -- and we’ve been moving around 10% of voters we
talk to, a massive electorate shift especially in close races! Please note
this is a 3hr event: you’ll receive a 1hr training on deep canvassing
fundamentals, followed by a 2hr phonebank + debrief for the Give No Ground
candidate of your choice in AZ or OR.

[ [link removed] ]Click here to register for Countdown to the Vote -- Truth Summit:
Block Election Disinformation with the Indivisible Truth Brigade with
keynote speaker Dan Pfeiffer on Wednesday, September 14th at 6:30 ET/3:30
PT. Disinformation poisons minds and prevents our society from moving
forward to protect the people and the planet. Lies are spread to obtain
unearned power -- it's as simple as that. Lies around voting and elections
provide the path to that unearned power. Join us September 14th to learn
which states, people, and campaigns are most vulnerable, and how we can
and must disrupt voting-related disinformation. Leave this event inspired,
clear-headed and focused on taking meaningful action. We’ll be joined by
Dan Pfieffer, co-host of Pod Save America and author of [ [link removed] ]Battling the
Big Lie: How Fox, Facebook and the MAGA Media are Destroying America.
