Indivisibles,

Last Wednesday, around 50 Venezuelan asylum seekers arrived in Martha’s
Vineyard after being packed on a plane in Texas by Gov. Ron DeSantis of
Florida and flown there. 

Last Thursday, around 100 migrants were dropped off outside of Vice
President Kamala Harris’ residence after being packed on buses by Gov.
Greg Abbott of Texas and driven there.

[ [link removed] ]These people were told they would be offered aid, support, and housing
at their destination, but no effort was made to coordinate with local
officials or aid organizations before their arrival.

This is nothing more than a MAGA public relations tactic to gain
extremist, xenophobic support. This is made crystal clear by Abbott having
Fox News ready in DC for their arrival while DeSantis sent a paid
videographer along for the flight -- easy enough to plan publicity, but
seemingly too difficult to work with local officials to take care of the
human beings these anti-immigrant Republicans decided to use as political
pawns (or, heaven forbid, have their own state governments provide aid). 
Since this spring, over 10,000 people have been transported from
Republican-governed areas to cities across the country in a concerted
effort to attempt to score political points at the expense of unsuspecting
migrants. That is more than 10,000 vulnerable people -- including children
-- who have been shipped across the United States for no reason other than
to make Democrats pay for being decent human beings. 

But decency is not a weakness.

The central question in this election cycle has been, and continues to be,
whether cruelty, lies, and selfishness can win over decency, truth, and
kindness. MAGA Republicans manufacture problems and then blame them on
Democrats in order to line their own pockets and consolidate power. On the
other hand, progressives are fighting for equality, safety, and choice
while delivering on a brighter future for all Americans. 

Republicans can not make decency a losing position if we fight to win.
They can continue to waste thousands of dollars of tax-payer money
exploiting families fleeing war and corruption; we will make them pay at
the polls. 

We are 49 days out to election day. Let’s make them count!

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

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

 Your 6 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Click here to read our Indivisible Unpacked resource on the MAGA
war on legal immigrants. America is supposed to be a safe haven for
those fleeing violence and instability, but MAGA Republicans are
making it the opposite. This Give No Ground resource will provide you
with talking points and action items to ensure we continue to care for
these families now and well into the future. 
 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 49 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] ]Make sure you’re registered to vote and double check your polling
place tomorrow, September 20, for National Voter Registration Day!
National Voter Registration Day is a holiday celebrated on the fourth
Tuesday of every September. Check your own status, and encourage your
friends and family to check theirs. With 49 days to the election, it
is time to make sure we are fully prepared.
 4. [ [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. 
 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.

 Messaging to Win in 2022 

[ [link removed] ]We decide what's possible

[ [link removed] ]Join Indivisible and partner organizations in the Protect Our Freedoms
coalition on Mondays at 4pm ET/1pm PT for our Messaging to Win in 2022
briefings. In these sessions we’ll cover the latest intel on key
battleground races and share tested messaging on what it will take to
protect our freedoms. We’ll present up-to-date research into attitudes of
key voting segments, as well as talking points, messaging, and calls to
action to mobilize our base to the polls and swing conflicted voters to
our side.

National Events 

[ [link removed] ]Click here to register for the Deep Canvassing Phonebank to Conflicted
Pro-Choice Voters (Central/East) tomorrow 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 register for the Deep Canvassing Phonebank to conflicted
Pro-Choice Voters (West) on Thursday, September 29 from 8pm-11pm
ET/5pm-8pm PT. Register for the same deep canvassing conversations as on
Sept. 20, this time with a focus on our west coast Give No Ground
candidates Jamie McLeod-Skinner and Mark Kelly.

[ [link removed] ]Click here to RSVP for our next Give No Ground MAGA Mayhem Election
National Activist Call this Thursday, September 22 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. As
the political landscape continues to shift in the lead-up 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.

[ [link removed] ]Click here to RSVP for Unrig the Courts’ Supreme Court Preview: What’s
Next from the MAGA Court on Thursday Sept 29 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. The
conservative majority on the Supreme Court is out of control, and have
already attacked our voting rights, our access to abortion, our
environment, and so much more. But they're not done -- the Supreme Court
will return for its October term next month, and will be hearing even more
cases that have the potential to further erode our constitutional rights.
RSVP for this event now, and tune in to hear from experts about what's at
stake and how we can fight back. Join Indivisible and partners in the
Unrig the Courts Coalition for this livestream event featuring special
guest Representative Mondaire Jones!
