Indivisibles,

President Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act on Tuesday, enshrining
national protection for marriage equality into law and finalizing a
legislative process that began way back in July on the heels of the Dobbs
decision and the GOP’s escalating attacks on our freedoms. 

Yesterday, Senator Leahy announced that a bicameral, bipartisan framework
has been reached for 2023 governmental funding, potentially heading off
fears of a shutdown when the Republican House majority is sworn in on
January 3. 

Important legislation can be accomplished during the final session. 

During the post-election, pre-holidays period, we’re often lulled into a
false sense of inaction. We give all that we can give during the election
cycle and then patiently wait for the seating of the next Congress to
continue our advocacy. 

We cannot wait for the next Congress to pursue our legislative priorities.
The time is now.

Legislation is still being passed. There is work to be done. We have a
shrinking window of a Democratic trifecta to effect change before a broken
Republican House majority effectively blocks any chance of progress
through inept, disorganized, and disruptive leadership.  

Help us make a difference:

* [ [link removed] ]Call your Republican senator today and tell them to pass an omnibus
government funding package. A framework has been agreed to, now we
need them to pass it. We cannot afford to let a deal stretch into the
new Congress, imperiling government funding through extremist
obstructionism. Even Republicans understand the danger; let’s make
sure they act to avert it. Call your Republican senators and demand
they agree to a full year of governmental funding, preventing
extremist House Republicans from forcing a shutdown.
* If you have a Democratic senator, [ [link removed] ]call them and tell them they need
to stay in session until their work is done. We know there is a clock
running out on how much time is left to achieve legislative victories,
and our Democratic senators know it too. Let’s encourage them to stay
in session and achieve as much as possible. Word behind the scenes is
that they are already thinking about staying in session, so call today
to make sure those thoughts become a reality.
* [ [link removed] ]Call your Republican representative and demand that they vote “yes”
on reforms to the Electoral Count Act. The Electoral Count Act is a
widely popular piece of legislation that would take critical steps to
protect against future attempts to steal a presidential election. It
has a chance to be included in the omnibus spending package, so we
need to act fast to ensure it succeeds. As we come up on the two-year
anniversary of the January 6th attack on democracy, we must do
everything we can to prevent extremists from exploiting
vulnerabilities to steal power. Put the pressure on your
representatives to get it done today.
* If you have a Democratic representative, [ [link removed] ]call them and ask them to
stay in session until their work is finished. Thanks to the final
session, the Respect for Marriage Act is now law, but we can’t stop
there. Remind your representatives that this historic legislation is
only the tip of the iceberg. There’s more left to accomplish.

Remember, Congress still gets paid during a shutdown. Working-class
Americans will feel the damage while extremist legislators hold the
government hostage to play politics. Call now to ensure that our
representatives understand this is unacceptable, and that it is their duty
to continue working until the job is done. 

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
