Indivisibles,
A little over two years ago, on January 6, 2021, Donald Trump and his
allies planned and executed an insurrection that was an unprecedented,
direct threat to our democracy.
When that attempt at a coup failed to overturn the results of the 2020
election, they set their sights on installing election deniers to critical
positions of power at the state level last year. Thanks in no small part
to the work of Indivisible groups across the country, those efforts were
largely thwarted.
But they haven’t given up. The threat from an extremist GOP hasn’t
dissipated. We see it every day with the MAGA Republicans who now control
the House. In fact, some of those same Trump allies who pushed the Big Lie
and helped plan and promote the events of January 6th are now in charge.
They also have significant power over Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who spent
his first weeks as Speaker implementing the Republicans’ extreme MAGA
agenda by:
* Immediately empowering the most fringe members of the GOP, putting
insurrectionists in charge of the majority of committees, and
elevating conspiracy theorists like Marjorie Taylor Greene to key
positions.
* Gutting the Office of Congressional Ethics so that members who played
a role in January 6th could continue to evade accountability.
* Creating a brand new committee to undermine the investigations being
conducted by the Department of Justice and the FBI into their own
criminal behavior in the lead up to the January 6 attack on the
Capitol and fake elector schemes.
Republicans might have the gavel. But we’ve got a plan to stop them and
save our democracy. (Check out our [ [link removed] ]hot-off-the-presses [ [link removed] ]2023

The fights ahead are existential for our country -- we’re counting on this
movement to come together so we can minimize the damage done by MAGA
Republicans until we can sweep them out of power. [ [link removed] ]Will you chip in
$3
or anything you can today to help protect and preserve our democracy?
We were able to defy expectations in 2022 by expanding our Democratic
Senate majority, passing historic legislation like the Inflation Reduction
Act, and blocking anti-democratic extremists from controlling how our
elections are run in key states nationwide.
But there’s no sugarcoating the fact that losing the House stings. It
gives MAGA Republicans the power to stonewall our progress for the next
two years, while using their sham committees to spread misinformation and
further erode faith in the institutions that allow our democracy to
function.
Our plan isn’t to sit back and hope it gets better. We must get to work --
to fight back in real time and to start right now at rebuilding a
pro-democracy trifecta in 2024.
Having “emergency” funds on hand allows us to act as fast as humanly
possible at key moments to expose MAGA lies, alert voters to the extreme
policies being pushed by their members, and mobilize against voter
suppression at the state level.
In this political climate, speed matters -- a lot. The months ahead will
take the strength and dedication of this entire movement, because we know
that wins don’t happen overnight. [ [link removed] ]So please, if you’re able, make a
contribution today so we can keep building a coordinated effort to protect
our democracy and stop the extremist GOP agenda.
