Indivisibles,
This year's history-defying midterm results would not be possible without
the work of Indivisible groups and volunteers. Today, we want to dive into
some of the resources and support we were able to provide local groups in
Pennsylvania, a MAGA Mayhem pilot state where we saw some of our biggest
wins in this election.
We knew we could win this year if the election was about the extremism of
MAGA Republicans. So, we teamed up with Indivisible groups in Pennsylvania
who kept up a steady drumbeat of local actions that focused voters'
attention on the radical, unpopular MAGA agenda. Then, we tapped into our
national network of volunteers to power a massive voter contact program
across the state.
Before we dive into some of the tactics and resources that powered our
wins in Pennsylvania, we have to acknowledge that this work would not be
possible without the help of grassroots donors. [ [link removed] ]If you'd like to

like these:

Patriot
We teamed up with local Indivisible groups to plaster wanted posters and
billboards all across PA-10. Indivisibles called out their seditionist
Republican MOC and in the process, over a hundred people texted in,
expressing interest in joining their local Indivisible group.
[3]Photo of Indivisible MayDay members in veggie costumes with John
Fetterman
We helped provide members of Indivisible MayDay with vegetable costumes
after Dr. Oz made his viral crudité blunder. This case study in
laughtivism was quickly picked up by the Fetterman campaign and shared on
his social media. The ad went viral and kept attention focused on how out
of touch Dr. Oz was.
This same Indivisible group also bird-dogged Republican Rep. Glenn
Thompson in PA-15, and caught him on tape saying he is against abortion at
any stage and under any circumstances. [ [link removed] ]We helped edit and transcribe
that video to get it online.
[5]Newspaper ad listing Rep. Fitzpatrick's votes against abortion access
And in PA-01, we worked with groups to put up this ad in a local paper,
blasting MAGA Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick. Polling showed that Fitzpatrick’s
support dropped by over ten points after voters learned about his radical
stance on abortion.
This work, alongside the dozens of rallies, letters to the editor, earned
media, and other tactics that local groups employed, helped shift the
narrative of this election. Together, we determined the ground we would be
fighting on. Then, we mobilized Indivisibles across the country to get out
the vote, and in Pennsylvania alone, our volunteers put out hundreds of
thousands of calls and texts.
The results speak for themselves: We helped elect John Fetterman and
flipped a GOP Senate seat in the process. We helped defend incumbent
Democrat Rep. Matt Cartwright who was running in a district Trump won in
2020. And in a year that was supposed to favor the GOP, the Democratic
candidate in PA-01 improved upon the margins from 2020.
Pennsylvania is a clear case of what we can achieve when we invest in the
grassroots -- it’s also a lesson in persistence. Satisfied with the pilot
in Pennsylvania, we rolled out this strategy across the country, and in
the end we stopped a red wave. That doesn’t mean we won every race, but in
districts like PA-01 and PA-10, we set the foundation to continue the
fight in 2024. And in deep red districts like PA-15, Indivisibles set an
example for how to hold MAGA MOCs to account for their extremist views.
It's going to take more than one election to defeat MAGA for good and
build the democracy that we deserve. That means we have to celebrate the
incremental progress alongside the outright victories and continue the
work of building progressive power in all of our communities. We're in
this fight for the long haul. [ [link removed] ]If you're able, pitch in

From the veggie costumes to billboards, postcards, and more, we are proud
of the support we were able to lend local groups and thankful for the
donations that made this work possible. Now, the hard work continues, but
there's no one else we'd rather be fighting alongside than you.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
