Indivisibles,

The Georgia runoff is tomorrow, and almost two million people have already
cast their ballots. MAGA Republicans tried every tactic in the book to
deter people from voting, but thanks to the hard work of Indivisibles and
our in-state partners, people are still turning out to vote.

We're in awe of the commitment Indivisibles have shown to winning this
race. From the local groups mobilizing in Georgia, to the thousands of
folks around the country who signed up to volunteer, and everyone who
donated and helped us raise over $400,000 to make our work possible. Those
contributions helped fund: 

* 📱 Over 850,000 texts sent to recruit volunteers and mobilize voters
* 📞 Over 80,000 calls made (with one more phonebank happening today!)
* 📬 30,000 pieces of mail sent to rural southern Georgia
* 🖥️ GOTV digital ads that launched this weekend
* 🚪 Our Neighbor States Program that brought dozens of Indivisible
volunteers to Georgia to boost our door-knocking efforts
* 📄 Thousands of pieces of custom-designed canvassing lit for GA groups
and volunteers who have knocked on thousands of doors

We're not done quite yet -- there are still doors to knock and voters to
call -- but we're well on our way to reelecting Senator Warnock and
securing our 51st vote in the Senate.  

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Your 6 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]RSVP for our final elections phonebank of the year, the Georgia
Runoff Phonebank Party with Gaslit Nation tonight, Monday, December 5
at 5pm ET/2pm PT. Andrea Chalupa, co-host of Gaslit Nation, will join
Indivisibles calling voters in Georgia prior to tomorrow’s runoff.
Andrea is an expert in election hacking who regularly does deep dives
on current news and events around the globe. Don’t miss this chance to
hear from her while we get out the vote one last time this cycle. 
 2. [ [link removed] ]RSVP for our final National Activist Call of the year this
Thursday, December 8 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Join indivisibles across the
country as we celebrate successes, discuss our national strategy, and
take time to create connections and build community with each other.
On this call, we will debrief the Georgia runoff election and preview
the new Indivisible Guide.
 3. [ [link removed] ]Read and share our newest Indivisible Unpacked resource on Trump’s
Push for Political Violence. Trump has brought open hate speech and
violent rhetoric back into the mainstream Republican Party. Read up on
his tactics, the deadly results of that rhetoric, and what we can do
to combat it. 
 4. [ [link removed] ]Read and share our Indivisible Unpacked resource on the MAGA War on
Free Elections. This Wednesday, SCOTUS will hear arguments in Moore v.
Harper, a case that revolves around the crackpot ‘independent state
legislature theory’ that MAGA Republicans want to use to seize control
of our elections. While our midterms wins insulated us from the
worst-case scenarios in the short term, 2024 looms large. Learn more
about the case, how we’re talking about it, and ways to take action.
 5. [ [link removed] ]Sign up for the Indivisible Truth Brigade. Propaganda, false
characterizations, intentionally misleading messages, and outright
lies threaten our democracy and even our lives. People believe sources
they trust! Sign up to learn how to fight disinformation in a way that
drives change and protects our communities from the threat of
extremism.
 6. Do you live in a rural area? [ [link removed] ]Click here to join our National Rural
Program. We have resources and calls specifically for our rural
Indivisibles where you can learn more about strategies and issues
specific to Indivisibles living in rural areas. If you want an idea of
what that looks like, [ [link removed] ]check out our agenda and notes from previous
meetings.

The work of defending democracy continues with your help. The midterms are
almost at an end, but with Trump already announcing for 2024, the election
cycle continues. In order to fund all of the work we do here at

 Final Session 

The “[ [link removed] ]final session” or “final legislative session” is the period
between an election and the inauguration of the new Congress. 

This year’s final session is critically important because it is the last
period where we will hold a Democratic trifecta for at least the next two
years. With Republican control of the House, we know they will block any
attempt at substantive legislation Democrats push forward. We must do as
much as possible in this time period to deliver the Democratic agenda. 

In their first act of the Final Session last week, the Senate passed the
Respect for Marriage Act, sending it to the House in order to reconcile
the bills before it goes to Biden to enshrine national protections for
marriage equality into law. The next thing they absolutely have to address
is a December 16 deadline to approve government funding and avert a
shutdown. But there is still more to be done. We need them to work faster
and harder so that they can pass more.

To achieve this, Congress must stay in session seven days a week until the
new Congress is seated. If we can convince Congress to do this, we have
the opportunity to achieve priorities such as: [ [link removed] ]lifting the debt
ceiling through reconciliation, passing viable bipartisan legislation like
the Electoral Count Act, and securing progressive wins. 

We cannot let this crucial period of control go to waste. Here’s how you
can help:

* [ [link removed] ]Call your Democratic representative and ask them to stay in
session until their work is finished. We must use every minute of our
existing trifecta to achieve necessary legislative victories for the
American people. Congress has the ability to stay in session and do
so. If you have a Republican representative, [ [link removed] ]click here to call
them and keep the pressure on them to pass more popular legislation
during the final session.
* [ [link removed] ]Call your Democratic senators and demand they stay in session
until their work is done. So much about how much we can get done
depends on the Senate. At the end of the day, raising the debt ceiling
so that Republicans can't weaponize it against Social Security and
Medicare next year is very time-consuming in the Senate because of
arcane Senate procedure. Your senator will need some cheerleading to
stay at work seven days a week and get it done! 
* If you have a Republican senator, [ [link removed] ]call and keep the pressure on
them to pass as many popular bills as possible during the final
session. Right now, we are focused on two incredibly important pieces
of legislation: the Electoral Count Act and the Pregnant Workers
Fairness Act. Passing these pieces of legislation will help guard
against any future attempts to steal a presidential election and
codify into federal law that it is discrimination to refuse to make
reasonable accommodations for employees affected by pregnancy,
childbirth, or related medical conditions. Congress can and must get
this done immediately.
