Indivisibles,
This past January was one of the warmest on record in the United States
(especially in the Northeast) and included over 150 reported tornadoes
(mainly across the South).
Flooding in California earlier this year caused at least 20 deaths with
untold damage and destruction throughout the area.
A winter storm once again knocked out power in Texas earlier this month as
residents dealt with below-freezing temperatures.
The climate crisis and inadequate infrastructure continue to be two of the
biggest challenges facing the American people today. Fortunately, we have
a president who understands the importance of tackling these problems
head-on.
In last week’s [ [link removed] ]State of the Union Address, President Biden took time to
highlight his administration’s achievements on climate and infrastructure
through the historic Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA includes:
money for reinforcing dams and reservoirs against natural disasters,
billions to mitigate the impacts of hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods, and
the largest investment in world history in combating climate change.
While Republicans are still trying to ban books and strip away rights from
pregnant people, Democrats are addressing the problems affecting the
entire country.
This is further evidenced by the current MAGA Republican scheme to use the
[ [link removed] ]debt ceiling to hold the economy hostage in an attempt to strip away
funding for Social Security and Medicare -- widely popular programs that
are critical for many Americans.
Our ongoing championing of progressive elected officials is critical to
ensuring they continue fighting for the people rather than caving to
corporate greed and self-interest like their conservative counterparts.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your 3 weekly to-dos
1. If your representative is a Democrat, [ [link removed] ]call them and tell them we
need them to hold firm against any cuts to Social Security and
Medicare in the debt ceiling fight! At the State of the Union, Biden
did the work of getting Republicans on record, on national television,
denying that they would gut these vital programs. Let’s make sure our
Democratic representatives continue to hold firm and fight against
MAGA extremists holding the economy hostage. Republicans are in the
hot seat; let’s remind our Democratic representatives to keep them
there.
2. [ [link removed] ]Read the new 2023 Indivisible Guide (PDF). 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. 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. Ready to join a meeting? [ [link removed] ]RSVP for our February Monthly
Rural Raucous Caucus Call next Wednesday, February 22 at 8pm ET/5pm
PT.
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.

IndivisiWin of the Week
[ [link removed] ]Tweet from Indivisible Tohono of an article from The Arizona Mirror
with an image of dancers from Indigenous Enterprise performing at the
inauguration.
Indivisible Tohono attended Katie Hobbs’ inauguration ceremony in January,
highlighting the need for tribal inclusion on federal and state level
advocacy. In late January, they spent time [ [link removed] ]organizing for recognition
of the toll of the Federal Boarding School system.
Follow us on [ [link removed] ]Facebook, [ [link removed] ]Twitter, and [ [link removed] ]Instagram to keep up on
the latest information, and text “INDIVISIBLE” to 59798 to opt-in to our
text messaging program where we send rapid response actions a few times a
month.
When we ensure our representatives are supported, they have the chance to
change the world -- whether that’s historic investments in climate,
lowering prescription drug costs, or creating millions of jobs for
Americans across the country. Let’s keep up that energy and continue
building the movement that drives change.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
