Indivisibles,

Judge Merchan expects [ [link removed] ]closing arguments in Donald Trump’s hush money
trial to begin next Tuesday, May 28. 

We can’t predict what will happen, but we do know one thing: This trial
has once again reminded us just how predatory, conniving, and immoral
Trump has always been -- and regardless of the verdict, it’s clear that he
should never be allowed near the Oval Office (or any office) again.

While the rest of us recognize this inescapable fact, [ [link removed] ]Donald
soft-floated the idea of a third term while speaking at the National Rifle
Association convention this weekend. 

While the rest of the world watches Trump navigating four different
criminal trials, he’s busy planting the seeds of autocracy to his adoring
base.

And where, exactly, would our checks and balances stand?

The Times reported that Supreme Court [ [link removed] ]Justice Samuel Alito flew an
upside-down flag outside of his home shortly after the January 6th
insurrection -- a symbol of the “stop the steal” movement to invalidate
Joe Biden’s election. 

That’s right, a Supreme Court justice with direct influence over attempts
to prevent election subversion flew a symbol of insurrection following an
attack on our democracy. 

As [ [link removed] ]Rep. Jamie Raskin succinctly put it, “it’s a very clear conflict of
interest.”

Let’s recap: We’ve got an indicted criminal running for president who is
floating the idea of flouting the Constitution to seize a third term while
the exact levers of power meant to keep him in check dog-whistle their
support of insurrection. 

We don’t know about you, but that certainly got us fired up to fight back!

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

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

 Your 5 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]RSVP for the Majority over MAGA Weekend of Action Kickoff Call on
Thursday, June 13 at 8pm ET/5pm PT. The Dobbs decision changed the
course of contemporary American politics by making it clear to all of
us that MAGA Republicans weren’t just here to make threats, they were
going to follow through and rip away our rights. Help us use that
anniversary to remind people that there’s a better option. Join the
kickoff call to hear about how we’ll be highlighting the fight for
reproductive rights during our upcoming weekend of action on June
21-24. For more information on the weekend of action itself, [ [link removed] ]check
out our Majority over MAGA Weekend of Action (June 21-24) Toolkit.
 2. [ [link removed] ]Register for a virtual informal coffee chat with Leah and Ezra on
Friday, May 31 at 4pm ET/1pm PT. Join Leah and Ezra in a laid-back
setting to discuss the current state of play for the 2024 election
with a focus on their most recent newsletters. If you’ve been looking
for a place to ask specific questions of our national leadership, this
is the space. Drop your questions in the Zoom registration and hear
directly from our Co-Executive directors.
 3. [ [link removed] ]Check and see if Neighbor2Neighbor is available in your area. We
have opened pre-registration for Indivisible Action’s version of our
highly effective, community conversation program -- Neighbor2Neighbor.
If you want to have the biggest impact on voter turnout, this is the
most effective way we’ve found to mobilize community members (our
numbers prove it). Check and see if Neighbor2Neighbor is available in
your area and, if it is, sign up today.
 4. [ [link removed] ]Call your representative and tell them to hold the corrupt Supreme
Court (SCOTUS) accountable. Whether it’s Clarence Thomas taking
hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts from a billionaire MAGA
donor, or Alito publicly supporting insurrection, the Supreme Court
has a crisis of accountability. Tell your representative that they
must pass the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act to
impose ethical rules on all SCOTUS justices today. When you’re
finished, [ [link removed] ]call your senators and tell them they must hold SCOTUS
accountable too. 
 5. [ [link removed] ]Call your senator and demand they protect in vitro fertilization
(IVF) access nationwide. The MAGA agenda did not just stop at
repealing Roe. They intend to ban contraception, IVF, gender-affirming
care, marriage equality, and more. Sen. Tammy Duckworth has introduced
the Access to Family Building Act, a bill that would enshrine access
to IVF and related services as a federal right, protecting both
would-be families and their medical providers. If your senator is a
Democrat, call and make sure they are a cosponsor. If your senator is
a Republican, tell them to put their money where their mouth is, pass
this bill, and actually support families. [ [link removed] ]When you’re finished
calling, send your senators an email urging them to protect IVF
access. 

P.S. If you've already signed up to volunteer with Project 2024 and you're
looking for more ways to support our election work, [ [link removed] ]consider making a
donation today. Your contribution will ensure all of our volunteers have
the tools and resources they need to get out the vote and defeat MAGA up
and down the ballot.

Demand Your Members of Congress Call for a Ceasefire and Oppose The Rafah
Invasion

 

**Content Warning: Talk about the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Jump to the line break if you need to avoid this topic.**

[ [link removed] ]Approximately 600,000 Palestinians have been forced to flee Rafah
since Netanyahu’s military ordered an evacuation on May 6.

During that time, bombing has escalated in the region while desperately
needed [ [link removed] ]aid trucks continue to be attacked by protestors and
settlers. Palestinians are not only fleeing violence, but also the
complete destruction of infrastructure which has only increased the
[ [link removed] ]imminent threat of famine, accelerated the breakdown in medical care,
and nearly eliminated access to basic sanitation. 

While the humanitarian conditions continued to deteriorate due to the
ever-increasing assault on Rafah, House Republicans in Washington were
busy passing the [ [link removed] ]Israel Security Assistance Support Act last week -- a
bill that would essentially prevent Biden from withholding offensive
weaponry from Israel. Instead of working to ensure the Israeli military
does not commit war crimes with American weapons, Republicans want to
guarantee Netanyahu has unfettered access to American arms.

The bill likely has no path forward in the Democrat-controlled Senate, but
it is an important reminder that we have to keep contacting our elected
officials to push for a ceasefire -- and that includes our Democratic
representatives. 

After giving a strong statement condemning the humanitarian crisis in
Rafah and pledging to stop sending offensive weapons to Netanyahu’s
military if they pushed on with their invasion, the Biden Administration
is moving forward with sending over $1 billion in arms and ammunition to
Israel. 

We must call, and keep calling, our elected representatives to ensure the
safety of the civilians of Rafah, the return of the remaining hostages,
free access to aid, and movement toward a lasting peace in the region. 

If you’ve called before, call again. 
If you haven’t called yet, now is the time to pick up the phone.

We have a moral responsibility to do everything in our power to push for
peace.

lives of Americans across the country. The problem: Most Americans don’t

Whether it’s new green projects popping up in neighborhoods across
America, a $35 cap on the price of insulin for Medicare, or the
approximately 9 million jobs that will be created in the next 10 years,
the IRA is touching every corner of the country and we need to make sure
the people know so they can take advantage of the benefits.

Through May, we will be sponsoring our Spring Into Action movement moment
with events all across the country celebrating the benefits of the IRA.
But we need your help.

 1. [ [link removed] ]Use this toolkit to find out everything you need to know about how
we can help you plan an event to celebrate the IRA.
 2. Make sure to [ [link removed] ]register your event with us so that you can qualify
for reimbursements and support.
 3. Get access to:

* Up to [ [link removed] ]$200 in reimbursements for your event

the first 25 requests)
* [ [link removed] ]A social media toolkit for all of your campaign and event
hype needs
* [ [link removed] ]LTE templates to give you a great place to start your party
* [ [link removed] ]Neighbor2Neighbor to talk to your neighbors about the
benefits of the IRA.

Join us in celebrating an incredible piece of legislation while ensuring
your neighbors know about the programs and projects that could be making a
difference in their lives right away. [ [link removed] ]Check out the Spring Into Action
Toolkit today.
