Your weekly Indivisible Newsletter. Indivisibles,
The election is tomorrow (it came so fast!) and there’s one important thing to remember: Pollsters Have “No F*cking Idea What’s Going to Happen” This Election.
From the beginning of this cycle, there has been so much doom and gloom spread about how the Democrats could not possibly win the midterms. Whether it was polling averages, historical trends, or the compounding effects of gerrymandering, the story was already written -- Democrats will lose big in November.
But we didn’t give up.
We organized. We called. We canvassed. We sent postcards. We. Got. To. Work.
In a year where all signs pointed to an overwhelming defeat, we are within striking distance of holding and expanding our majorities in the House and the Senate. That is incredible.
We don’t know what will happen tomorrow and neither does anyone else. What we do know is that your work paid off: What was once unthinkable is now within our grasp. This is what it means to be Indivisible.
With our final 24 hours, let’s leave it all on the field. Lock in your voting plan. Check in on your friends’ voting plans. Join our final phonebank.
The work continues until the final ballot is counted. This is how we win.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

Don’t be scared -- the vast majority of folks vote with no issues whatsoever. You can also always contact the Election Protection Hotline to report any instances of intimidation, harassment, or suspicious behavior by calling 866-OUR-VOTE or going to 866ourvote.org.

Support candidates in Georgia by working with the Democratic Party of Georgia Voter Protection team to help voters cure rejected absentee ballots. Finding and curing these ballots will be vital to winning close races. Let’s make sure every vote is counted.
Through postcards, and phonebanks, and canvasses, and so much more, Indivisible has been here to support the grassroots this election season. Campaigns may be drawing to a close, but our work never stops. Donate today to ensure we can continue to defend democracy moving forward.
National Events
RSVP for Building a Broader We: A conversation with Ian Haney Lopez on Monday, December 5 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Rich, powerful elites have used strategic racism to achieve their economic agenda for centuries. These attacks are shifting, threatening the gains we’ve made towards a stronger, more representative democracy. The race-class-gender approach exposes the limitations of how the left has historically called out racism and provides a roadmap for building a truly cross-racial progressive movement. Join us for a conversation with Ian Haney Lopez -- Berkeley Law professor and race-class architect.
