Indivisibles,

We are just over three weeks into 2023 and there have been [ [link removed] ]36 mass
shootings, including one this weekend in Monterey Park, CA which left at
least 10 victims dead. 

We are just over three weeks into 2023 and over [ [link removed] ]120 anti-LGBTQ+ bills
have been introduced across the country, the overwhelming majority of
which target trans youth. 

We are just over three weeks into 2023 and House Republicans have passed
two anti-abortion bills, voted to protect tax-cheats, and placed election
deniers in over 50% of their committee chairs -- and that’s just the start
of it. 

Instead of legislating for the people, instead of tackling the critically
important issues facing our country right now, Republicans only care about
entrenching their own power and delivering for a handful of mega-donors
and special-interest groups aligned with their far-right agenda.

On the campaign trail, Republicans in swing districts pretended to care
about issues like inflation. But as soon as they were sworn in, the party
turned its attention to a laundry list of conspiracy theories and
right-wing pet issues -- like slashing Social Security and Medicare.

We always knew this was how it was going to be. 

The question was never whether Republicans would pass reasonable
legislation in the interests of the American people; it was always how
regressive they would be in imposing their draconian values on the
country. When Kevin McCarthy started conspiring with the House Freedom
Caucus to secure his place as Speaker, he guaranteed the most extreme wing
of the party would control the House’s agenda for the next two years. And
we’re already seeing the consequences. 

With Republicans once again showing their utter disinterest in governing,
it is even more important that we come together and build progressive
power now and into the future. 

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

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

 Your 5 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Register for a Deep Dive on the New Guide: Our 2023 Indivisible
Guide Launch Call this Thursday, January 26 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Join
Indivisibles from across the country as our team breaks down the main
focuses of the new Guide, walks us through activation strategies that
can be applied locally in 2023, and creates a community space to
reconvene while launching into a new year.
 2. [ [link removed] ]Read the new 2023 Indivisible Guide. Whether you can make the call
this Thursday or not, if you want tangible actions you can take to
confront MAGA extremism, this is the place to start. Catch up on where
we stand in the new year, explore our game plan for the current
Congress, and find out how to get involved. Our wins over the last six
years have been because we were coordinated, energized, and informed;
let’s make sure we go into 2023 with that same foundation in place to
fuel more wins.
 3. If you have a Republican representative, [ [link removed] ]call them and let them
know you’ll be holding them accountable in the new year. Republicans
are playing political games with the global economy, highlighted by
allowing us to hit the debt ceiling last Thursday. A default on our
debt could be disastrous and the extremists in their party don’t seem
to care. Call your representative and let them know that you do -- and
you’re ready to hold them accountable if they go along with their MAGA
colleagues instead of acting in the interest of constituents like you!
If you’re not able to call or want to do more, [ [link removed] ]use this template to
write a Letter to the Editor. 
 4. If you have a Democratic representative, [ [link removed] ]call your representative
and let them know they need to hold strong. When Republicans have used
the threat of default in the past, Democrats have balked, proving to
Republicans that they can win with their reckless threats. We need to
hold strong against these MAGA extremists so we do not offer them more
power. Democrats are doing a great job as a block to start the
session. Let’s make sure they keep it up. When you’re done with that,
[ [link removed] ]write a Letter to the Editor championing your Democratic
representative for being a fighter for the people. 
 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. Look for Truth Brigade calls to start up again in February.

P.S. We rely on your support to keep call pages up and running, fund ads
to get the word out, and continue all the work we’re doing this year.

 New Year, New Commitments

With the election of a new Congress and the arrival of 2023, we hope
you’re finding yourselves rested and rejuvenated (we know we needed the
vacation). 

To kick off the new year, we want to ensure we are sustaining this
movement by spreading its reach and activating more of your friends and
neighbors to join in the fight. Indivisible’s strength, reflected in our
name, is in people choosing to come together for the betterment of their
community. Through those numbers, we are able to achieve a groundswell of
support for actions and take the time to individually rest and recover
because there are always more Indivisibles ready to take up the fight. 

In the spirit of new beginnings and growth, here’s what we are asking:

* [ [link removed] ]Take the Indivisible New Years Pledge to join, reconnect with, or
invite others to get involved with your local Indivisible group.
Indivisible groups are at the heart of this movement. Their phone
calls, rallies, canvasses, bird-dogging, letters to the editor, and
more made the victories of 2022 possible. This work will continue to
be crucial as we confront the challenges of a split Congress, and we
want you to be a part of it.
* Invite a friend to join Indivisible. This movement is shaped by the
people, for the people. Without your voices, without your energy, we
are just a couple of political wonks with opinions. You make this
happen. Help us bring more people into the conversation. 

* [ [link removed] ]Share this link to invite a friend to sign up for these
emails.
* [ [link removed] ]Encourage them to find their local Indivisible group here.
* [ [link removed] ]Show them the Introduction to Indivisible video (you can also
play this at your group meetings).

There is no better feeling than getting the chance to take an action to
help change the world with a friend at your side. Invite them today. Try
it out. We bet you’ll agree.

Indivisibles from all across the country to come up with best practices
