Hey Indivisibles,

I’ve got really good news: this is my last email of the year. Sure, it’s
also the last day of the year, but hear me out anyway. There’s a final
fundraising ask at the bottom, but more than that, I just wanted to
reflect on everything we Indivisibles have accomplished in 2019, and what
2020 will have in store.

This year has been A LOT. Here’s 2019 in a few illustrative bullets:

* January: Indivisible starts the year on offense, with the (then)
single largest national day of action in our history to support the
pro-democracy For the People Act (HR 1).
* March: Mueller report completed, and Indivisible starts ramping up
pressure on Congress to begin impeachment proceedings.
* April: Launch of the Indivisible Pledge, committing Indivisible groups
and presidential candidates to rally around the primary winner. Almost
all candidates sign.
* May: #StopTheBans nationwide protests in opposition to anti-abortion
laws across the country.
* July: Lights for Liberty national day of action, with hundreds of
vigils across the country protesting Trump’s concentration camps.
* August: First ever national convening of Indivisible group leaders
from across the country. This leads directly into Indivisible’s
largest week of action in coordination with the Defund Hate Campaign
to cut funding for Trump’s deportation machine. Also, Indivisible
holds nationwide “Impeachment August” congressional recess events
pressing Congress to move forward with impeachment.
* September: Speaker Pelosi announces the start of official impeachment
proceedings.
* November: We Are Indivisible is published! Book tour all across the
country. All proceeds go to the Save Democracy Fund (and still do).
Also in November, Indivisible orchestrates live interviews of five
presidential candidates, and we release Indivisible’s first ever
presidential primary scorecard.
* December: The day before Trump is impeached, more than 600 local
“Impeachment Eve” events spread across every single state in the
country. Then, Trump is impeached!

What’s coming in 2020. We know where we want to be in one year. We’ll be
headed into 2021 with a Democratic trifecta in the House, Senate, and
presidency -- and momentum to make a big democracy reform the first
legislation of the new Congress. That’s the plan.

So how do we do it? We don’t do it by waiting for the wave to come -- we
do it by spending the next 11 months building that wave. We can’t wait for
the primary to be over to start preparing to win the general. This means:

* We give Indivisible groups the Voter File for canvassing,
phonebanking, and textbanking.
* We put additional organizing and communications resources in action on
the ground in electoral college and Senate swing states.
* We leverage the power of the movement to reach out to more than 10
million voters to get them out to vote.

Don’t overthink this. It’s easy to get lost in the 7-dimensional chess of
political campaigns -- the polling, messaging, and punditry. But none of
this is rocket science. The most important truth couldn’t be simpler:
there are more of us than there are of them. We outnumber them. And for
the time being, we still live in a democracy. That means if we get our
people out to vote, we win. If we get our people out, Trump is a disgraced
one-term president. If we get our people out, the next Congress will be a
Democratic Congress. If we get our people out, we save American democracy.

We got our people out in 2018 to build the largest mid-term margins in the
history of the Republic. We need to build the largest presidential margins
in history next year. So that’s what Indivisible is going to do.

And yes, this takes some money to do. See, I told you at the top that I
was going to ask you for money, didn’t I? Well, see if this a convincing
pitch.

We’re an organizing operation -- we pay for state lead organizers, data
and political tool mavens, and digital experts to help us empower and
mobilize the Indivisible movement. We have folks whose job it is to wake
up in swing states every morning thinking “How am I going to strengthen
the Indivisible groups in this state today? What do I need to do to get
more of our people out in November?” We want more of those people spread
around the country in key states.

Our goal is to raise $230,000 by midnight tonight. Why that amount? Well,
Indivisible doesn’t build any sort of long-term reserves. The way we
figure out if we expand our campaign work is simple: if we have six months
of operating expenditure, we can expand. If we don’t have it, we don’t
expand. So if we raise $230,000 by midnight, that’ll give us what we need
to get a running start next year.

Together we’ve accomplished so much in the last three years. Defeating the
attack on the Affordable Care Act. Building a previously-unimaginable blue
wave to retake the House. Driving to the impeachment of a criminal
President of the United States.

I think this movement’s got another historic win in its future -- I think
we’re going to save our democracy, and I think we’re going to do it
together. I think that’s what comes next.

In solidarity,
