Indivisibles,

A couple days after the election I got to join a call with a few thousand
Indivisible leaders and activists. ([ [link removed] ]The recording is here in case you
missed it!) Felt like 2017 again -- palpable energy, enthusiasm, and
accomplishment. It’s been a helluva week without much sleep, but things
are moving fast so I wanted to follow up with a debrief and some specific
next steps:

This wasn’t just a history-defying midterm for our side -- it was a clear
rejection of MAGA. We set out to make this election a referendum on MAGA
in the spring, and we’ve beat that drum all over the country for months
now. To see the victories credited to a rejection of MAGA’s attacks on
abortion and democracy is so incredibly heartening. But actually it’s
better than heartening -- it validates the strategy we had hoped would
work moving forward. And that is damn energizing.

While we’re now launching our final session work (which we had planned
for), there’s another important effort that we hadn’t budgeted for: the
Georgia runoff. We wanted to avoid a runoff but it didn’t happen. I’m
proud to say we left everything we had on the field leading up to Tuesday,
but that means we face serious constraints right now. We simply are not
budgeted to fully tap into our nationwide volunteer network to support
Warnock over the next few weeks.

Relative to other operations, our expenses are low because we don’t run
big ads or pay for expensive things. Our money funds volunteer engagement.
We have a solid infrastructure nationally and on the ground in Georgia (I
was out there just last week knocking doors for Warnock with local
Indivisible groups). We ran a similar runoff operation just last year --
so we’ve done this before. We want to do it again, and money we take in
now will go directly to this -- not socked away to pay for other expenses
later.

The program is scalable to an extent -- the range in cost is $300-$500k in
PAC dollars to fully mobilize our folks. And I’m sending this email now
because we need to decide quickly exactly what we can greenlight. This is
a situation where if we take the money in, we’ll greenlight more programs,
and if we don’t, we won’t. Take a look at the list of programs we want to
fund below and [ [link removed] ]click here to donate so our volunteers have everything
they need to mobilize voters and send Sen. Warnock back to the Senate. To
get specific about what I’d like us to invest in right now:

* Statewide distributed canvasses targeting areas with heavy Indivisible
group presences, and working alongside America Votes GA Table to
prioritize our turf-cutting. This is the top priority in the list of
activities, and its expenses include canvass literature, door hangers,
yard signs, and training/staff expenses. 
* Deploy Neighbor2Neighbor canvassing program to our in-state list to
make additional door contacts outside of organized canvasses. This is
a new simplified micro-canvassing program we developed and launched
earlier this year -- it gives our members across the state 5 doors to
knock within a block or two of their own home. Our locals have loved
it.
* National phonebanking program and in-state texting to talk to voters
and boost turnout. Just like 2021, this runoff will depend entirely on
turning out base supporters and preventing as much dropoff from the
general election as possible. We hope to make 725,000 voter contact
attempts and our universe will target likely Democrats with middle to
high turnout scores.
* Direct local group financial support to our Indivisible statewide
Georgia Coalition to support GOTV efforts. 
* Electoral reimbursements focused on providing funding for our local
Georgia groups’ electoral tactics, including billboards, postcards,
local print ads, food and event space rentals to support DVC events,
travel costs, and various merch.
* Neighbor States program to fund Indivisible volunteer deployments from
neighboring states within driving distance to support and amplify
local GA groups with capacity to knock an additional 28,000 doors.
* Build excitement and energy for local groups through a canvassing
challenge, awarding top prizes for groups that record the most
contacts.

We just got off of an enormously expensive midterm cycle and I know
grassroots donors are just as exhausted as we are. I don’t begrudge
anybody who is tapped out right now, but it’s also my responsibility to
ask -- and that’s why you’re getting this email. [ [link removed] ]If you can, click here

In 2018 we build the largest midterm margins in the history of the
republic. In 2020, we made Trump a one-term president. In 2021 we won two
“impossible” runoffs in Georgia to clinch the Senate. Last week, we
produced a history-defying midterm election. And next month, we’re going
to expand the Senate margin by re-electing Senator Warnock. 

Let’s keep making history together.

In solidarity,
Ezra
