Indivisibles, 

Six years ago tomorrow, Indivisible was born.

It was December of 2016. The shock, anger, and despair of Trump’s election
threatened to engulf us -- but instead, we chose to turn it into our fuel.
We gathered in living rooms, in libraries, and around our laptops to put
together a practical guide for resisting Trump’s agenda. We weren’t sure
how many people would read it, but when our original document crashed
Google Docs and spread across social media like wildfire, we knew we
weren’t alone. 

And when thousands of Indivisible groups began popping up organically
across the country, we knew we were at the start of something momentous
and powerful. But even then, it was hard to imagine how much this movement
would accomplish together.

2017 was an explosive year of action. We swarmed town halls, and when our
Members of Congress refused to attend, we held our own with empty chairs
and cardboard cutouts. We saved our MoC’s office numbers in our phones,
and we planned retirement parties for Republicans we were already
organizing to vote out of office. We marched, we rallied, and we got
creative: flash mobs, Monopoly men, even chicken costumes. We couldn’t
stop everything, but together we saved the Affordable Care Act and beat
back the worst of Trump’s policies. 

And we had our sights set even further -- already we were hard at work to
build the Blue Wave of 2018 and take back the House. We ramped up our
trainings and ensured Indivisibles everywhere were ready to register
voters, knock doors, write letters, call and text out the vote for the
midterm elections. We mobilized to protest Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to
the Supreme Court, and channeled our outrage into accountability at the
ballot box. We endorsed candidates, and some of us even ran for office! We
showed the nation that our movement was in this for the long haul.

We kicked off 2019 by proclaiming: Whose House? OUR HOUSE! We called for
Trump’s impeachment and said that nobody is above the law. We decried the
administration for separating children from families, and demanded that
Congress defund hate to stop the attacks on migrants and asylum seekers.
We held our first national gathering, and we pledged to support the
Democratic candidate for president to defeat Trump.

We remember 2020 with so much emotion. Together we faced COVID: we masked
up, stayed home, and took care of each other. We learned new tech to stay
connected. We joined the global movement for Black lives and the call for
justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, Philando
Castile, Ahmaud Arbery, and too many others. We challenged ourselves to do
more. We grieved, we marched, we stayed determined. And against the odds,
from GOP gerrymandering to threats of mail delays, we turned out voters
like never before and elected Joe Biden in November -- followed by winning
both Senate seats in Georgia in the special election. We made sure every
vote was counted, and we built a Democratic Trifecta.

Did we pack it up and go home in 2021? Hell. No. As we watched MAGA
insurrectionists storm the Capitol, we pushed for Trump’s second
impeachment. The events of January 6th made it clear that our democracy
was more fragile than ever -- and we called on Congress to pass the For
The People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. We made the most of
every #FilibusterFriday and we flew our 51-star flags to support DC
statehood. We got our vaccines and boosters, and made the most of our new
normal.

And in 2022, we persevered. We learned of the Supreme Court’s decision to
end Roe, and we responded by declaring: we won’t go back. We faced
intransigence in Congress, but still passed the largest investment in
climate action in our country’s history with the Inflation Reduction Act.
We saw Ketanji Brown Jackson sworn in as our newest Supreme Court Justice.
We ensured that MAGA Republicans paid a price for their extremism in
November, and made sure voters knew that our freedom and our democracy
were on the ballot. And we did the impossible again by re-electing Senator
Warnock and keeping the Senate blue.

In six years, you built a powerful, thriving community with thousands of
local groups across the country -- and you set our goals so much higher
than just defeating Trump. Together, we will restore the safeguards of our
democracy and defend the rights of the most marginalized. But we face a
new Congress in January, led by MAGA extremists fixated on demonizing the
LGBTQ+ community and criminalizing trans children and adults, pushing book
bans and racializing classrooms, passing a national abortion ban (and
coming for contraception next), and gutting Medicare and Social Security. 

We won’t sugar-coat it: a Republican-controlled House poses an alarming
threat for our democracy. But for six years, Indivisibles have proven one
thing: When we show up, we win. 

[ [link removed] ]As we look back at all we’ve accomplished and prepare for the fights
ahead, we’re hoping you’ll show up today by making your first contribution
-- a gift of any amount, even just $1 -- to support this movement.  

Thank you for six years of resisting, organizing and making history. We
are extremely proud to be in this fight with you, celebrating many more
IndivisiBirthdays in the years to come ✊

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

PS -- All of the amazing rallies, actions, canvasses, trainings, and
gatherings highlighted here didn’t happen on their own -- they’re labors
of love led by local Indivisible groups across the country. These are
individuals like you who made the decision to get involved in their
communities, many of whom never considered themselves “activists” before.
If one of your resolutions for the new year is to do more to support the
issues you care about, you’ll find a home with your local Indivisible
group! [ [link removed] ]Pledge to make your New Year’s Resolution for 2023 to get active
