Indivisibles,

The biggest story at the start of this week could have continued to be
Queen Elizabeth’s passing or Ukraine gaining ground from Russia, but the
top trending topic on Twitter is Trump making an unannounced visit to DC. 

That’s right -- in a year where Trump is not even on the ballot his every
movement still dominates headlines. 

In a speech on September 2, President Biden remarked that “there is no
question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and
intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat
to this country.” The President has it right -- the Republican Party has
been taken over by extremists. And in the course of the takeover of one of
our two major political parties in this country, we are now faced with an
overwhelming fascination with their actions. 

Our media covers Trump’s every move. 
Our polling considers what Trump’s support means to candidates.
Our social media feeds are filled with stories of the effects of extremism
on pregnant Americans across the country. 

There is no escaping MAGA mayhem.

But that’s not true. We can escape this cycle. If we get out the vote for
these midterm elections we have the chance to deal a decisive blow to MAGA
extremism in this country. We can ensure that, no matter how many tantrums
MAGA Republicans throw, American values shine through in our policies and
our actions. Let the media frenzy, let our obsession with extremism remind
you to continue to work. 

Every time you see Trump covered on TV -- send a text.
Every time you watch coverage of the January 6th attempted coup -- sign up
for a phonebank.
Every time you feel that you are seeing the decline of our democracy
before your very eyes -- get out and knock on a door. 

We have the power to make a difference. We can either let a small,
right-wing minority’s descent into extremism allow us to spiral or we can
choose to act and oppose it. 

Indivisibles choose to fight.

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

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

 Your 6 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Click here to register to phonebank for Matt Cartwight for PA-08
tomorrow, Tuesday, September 13 at 6pm ET/3pm PT. Here’s your first
opportunity to make your voice heard and make a difference. Matt
Cartwright is a Give No Ground candidate in a district we need to hold
to combat MAGA extremism. He is up against a candidate who wants more
guns, rails against “CRT,” and believes we need to “secure our
elections” -- sounds a lot like MAGA extremist talking points to us.
Let’s make sure Northeast Pennsylvania doesn’t fall into the hands of
MAGA Republicans. 
 2. [ [link removed] ]Click here to register to Give No Ground. Click “volunteer” in the
top right corner. If you are a part of an Indivisible group, register
as a group, if not you can register as an individual. This is where we
will do the work for the next 71 days to hold the House and achieve a
real majority in the Senate. 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 sign up for the Indivisible Truth Brigade.
Propaganda, false characterizations, intentionally misleading
messages, and outright lies threaten our democracy and even our lives.
We can effectively combat disinformation, despite the well-funded
machines that drive it. People believe sources they trust! Lies are on
the ballot this November and when lies are on the ballot, we have both
a moral and an existential responsibility to stop them from winning.
Sign up to learn how to fight disinformation in a way that drives
change and protects our communities from the threat of extremism. 
 4. [ [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! 
 5. [ [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.
 6. 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.

Give No Ground running and to fund all of the work we do here at

 National Events 

[ [link removed] ]Truth Brigade Action Call featuring Dan Pfeiffer

[ [link removed] ]Click here to register for our Fight Election Disinformation -- Truth
Brigade Action Virtual Call: Featuring Dan Pfeiffer this Wednesday,
September 14 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 14 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 Pfeiffer, 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.

[ [link removed] ]Click here to register for a Letter to the Editor (LTE) training and
workshop with the Indivisible Press Team on this Thursday, September 15 at
8pm ET/5pm PT. This training will help you identify how to effectively
write LTE’s and then target compatible publications for placement. You’ll
then have the opportunity to workshop you’re writing and submit and LTE on
issues issues like abortion and MAGA mayhem in community with fellow
Indivisible activists and staff. 

[ [link removed] ]Click here to sign up for the January 6th Justice Activist Call on
Thursday, September 15 at 4:30pm ET/1:30pm PT. The bipartisan January 6th
Select Committee has shown that Trump and his MAGA allies planned,
promoted, and paid for a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election they
knew they’d lost. Trump and his MAGA allies continue to work to sabotage
future elections by changing state laws, threatening state officials, and
packing election administration offices so that they can have the final
say over election results -- even when they lose. We must hold them
accountable! No one is above the law. Join us and our partners to learn
how to take action to defend our democracy. Bonus: Our very own Ezra Levin
will be a guest speaker on this call. 

[ [link removed] ]Click here to register for the Deep Canvassing Phonebank to Conflicted
Pro-Choice Voters (Central/East) on Tuesday, September 20 from 5pm-8pm
ET/2pm-5pm PT. Come see what all the hype is about in Deep Canvassing --
the voter contact program Indivisibles are calling “magic,” where past
volunteers have said, “I transform into the type of person I want to be!”
From Kansas to New York, we know that voters are moving toward us on
abortion and MAGA extremism. But there are still folks out there with
conflicting beliefs, and through deep canvassing, we can move them to our
side! We’ll call voters who are likely pro-choice but don’t always vote
for Democrats, have open conversations about their stake in abortion
access, and move them to act on their beliefs by voting for progressive
candidates. 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 Illinois, Georgia, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin.

[ [link removed] ]Click here to RSVP for our next Give No Ground MAGA Mayhem Election
National Activist Call on Thursday, September 22 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. As the
political landscape continues to shift in the leadup to the midterm
elections, get an inside look at what Indivisibles are doing this cycle to
make sure we Give No Ground this November. This call, we will have special
guest [ [link removed] ]Sophia McClennen speaking to us on why laughtivism works and
effective tactics we can use to break through the MAGA mayhem.
