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.

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.

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. We helped edit and transcribe that video to get it online.

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. If you're able, pitch in $10 to make sure this movement has what it needs to continue the fight against MAGA extremism.

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
