Indivisibles,

Last week, the Supreme Court gave us a (likely temporary) reprieve when
they sent a challenge to the FDA’s ability to regulate mifepristone back
to the lower courts -- ruling that the plaintiffs did not have standing to
bring the case forward but leaving open the opportunity for new plaintiffs
to try again. 

This week, they could hand down a different, dangerous ruling as they
decide whether states can ban doctors from providing emergency abortion
care, right up until a woman is about to die, in violation of federal
patient protections under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act
(EMTALA).

[ [link removed] ]For a fuller explanation of the EMTALA case, check out our explainer,
but EMTALA guarantees that anyone experiencing an emergency medical
condition that is a serious risk to their life or health is entitled to
necessary stabilizing treatment. Sometimes that stabilizing care includes
an abortion. Idaho is attempting to assert that their abortion ban
supersedes EMTALA. 

Once again, our rights are being left to the whims of an extremist Supreme
Court hand-picked by Trump to rip them away. 

The timing is fitting: Next Monday, June 24, is the anniversary of Trump’s
Supreme Court reversing Roe v. Wade and setting our rights back fifty
years. With the EMTALA decision potentially coming down Thursday or Friday
of this week, we couldn’t have planned a better time to host our Majority
Over MAGA Weekend of Action. 

This weekend, leading up to the anniversary, Indivisibles will be hosting
events all across the country to remind voters that Donald Trump and MAGA
Republicans are an existential threat to our reproductive freedoms and our
democracy.

Before you head out for an event this weekend (see below for more details
on events), we wanted to make sure you were prepared:

* [ [link removed] ]Check out our updated talking points for your Weekend of Action
Event. Worried you won’t have answers to the questions you’re most
likely to get this weekend? Use this resource as a guide to help you
navigate the most important topics to convince voters to turn out in
November.
* Make sure you’re prepared for the weather. We’ll be experiencing a
potential heat wave all across the country this weekend. Make sure
you’re prepared with all of the water, hats, sunscreen, umbrellas, and
any other accessory you might need to take care of yourself (and your
friends) in this weather. 

In a poll released today, [ [link removed] ]21% of independents said Trump’s conviction
made them less likely to support him. That’s a great first step, but a
Gallup poll also showed that a [ [link removed] ]record share of the US electorate is
pro-choice and voting on it. When we combine these two results, we know we
have a real chance to mobilize voters to defeat Trump in November.

We need to continue to remind voters that Trump is responsible for the
repeal of Roe, that his re-election is a real possibility, and that if his
campaign succeeds, he will continue to rip away our rights. It’s going to
take your help to get it done.

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

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

 Your 4 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Check to see if there’s a Weekend of Action event near you. We need
Indivisibles all across the country to mobilize for this Weekend of
Action. Remember: [ [link removed] ]17% of voters currently blame Biden for the end
of Roe. We need to get out into our communities, talk to those voters,
and remind them of the truth -- Donald Trump caused the fall of Roe
and if he’s re-elected he’ll do much worse.
 2. If there isn’t a Weekend of Action event near you, there’s still time
to create one. [ [link removed] ]Use this toolkit to put together an event for this
weekend. From why we’re hosting a weekend of action (it’s the
anniversary of the repeal of Roe), to ideas for events, to the
resources we have available for groups wanting to host events, this
toolkit is your one-stop shop for all things Weekend of Action. You
could stage a protest, a rally, a district office visit, or something
else completely different, but if there isn’t already an event near
you, find a way you’d want to commemorate this weekend, get out there,
recruit some friends, and make it happen.
 3. [ [link removed] ]Sign up to phonebank, textbank, or write to voters with our new
Majority Over MAGA: State to State resource. Neighbor2Neighbor (see
below) may only be available in our target districts, but it’s going
to take everyone coming together to drive wins in November. This State
to State page will be our home for all of the other resources and
strategies that will power us to a true Democratic trifecta that will
codify reproductive freedoms and enact democracy reforms. Check this
page to learn about phonebanks, textbanks, postcards, reimbursements,
and more that will be the backbone of our 2024 election program.
 4. [ [link removed] ]Neighbor2Neighbor is open!!!! Check and see if it’s available in
your area, and help get out the vote. We have opened 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. 

P.S. If you've completed your weekly to-do's and are looking for more ways
to support this movement, [ [link removed] ]consider making a donation today. Your
contribution will help keep our call pages up and running, fund the tools
we use to mobilize volunteers, and continue all the work we're doing this
year.

Majority Over MAGA National Phonebank

[ [link removed] ]Join a phone bank June 20 7pm ET/4pm PT

[ [link removed] ]Register for the Project 2024: Majority Over MAGA Weekend of Action
National Phonebank for Sherrod Brown and Jon Tester this Thursday, June 20
at 7pm ET/4pm PT. Both the Ohio and Montana Senate seats are must-wins if
we want to hold onto (and expand) our Senate majority in November. Brown
and Tester are up against Trump-backed, MAGA extremists, and it is up to
us to ensure that they have the support necessary to win their races, and
every single vote is going to matter in these tightly contested seats.
Help us move one step closer to a true trifecta by electing Sherrod Brown
and Jon Tester. Bonus: The event will be kicked off by guest speaker
Andrea Chalupa from [ [link removed] ]Gaslit Nation. There will be a training to begin
the event if you need a refresher on phonebanking.

 The First Presidential Debate  

The first presidential debate of 2024 is coming up on Thursday, June 27 at
9pm ET/6pm PT. For undecided voters, debates can serve an important role
in deciding who to support at the ballot box. Debates provide candidates
with equal platforms to clearly and effectively articulate their values
and vision for the country, while giving voters an accessible format to
gain valuable information about the candidates and their positions on
important issues. 

But Indivisibles aren’t undecided. We know there’s no actual debate here:
Democracy and abortion rights are on the ballot, and nothing Donald Trump
says on that debate stage will convince us that he and his MAGA
Republicans will stop attacking our institutions, elections, and basic
freedoms the second they get more power. 

You may be thinking to yourself:

I know the stakes. I know that another four years of Trump would be the
worst thing for this country. The debate won’t change my mind about that.
Why bother with watching?

It’s a fair question. Here are five reasons why we think it’s worth
watching; 

 1. It gives us an opportunity to directly engage with, and respond to,
what’s said on the debate stage. It’s unique and rare to be in
conversation, in real time, with the future leader of our country, and
we don’t wanna pass it up. Our national staff will be watching and
putting our reactions out on social media throughout the debate for
you to follow along with us. We’ll also be sharing takes from the
movement, so be sure to tag @IndivisibleTeam on social media so we can
see and share your posts.
 2. It keeps us attuned to what voters are hearing. In order for us to be
effective messengers, we need to know what undecided voters are
hearing. For a lot of those voters, the debate could very well be the
first time they’re engaging with the election, making it their only
reference point as they decide who to support.
 3. It reminds us of the stakes. Trump is going to say a lot of things
during the debate that are truly unhinged and fascistic. Those should
serve as a fortifying reminder of what we’re up against, of what the
stakes are, and that we need to fight like hell against the
anti-democracy, anti-abortion politics of MAGA.
 4. It’s a fun way to get together with your Indivisible community! These
debates are bound to have an air of spectacle, so why not make an
event of them? Invite over your community of Indivisible activists for
a Debate Watch Party! They’re an easy way to bring some levity back to
the hard and real work of saving democracy. You can even turn the
debate into a game by playing [ [link removed] ]Presidential Debate Bingo.
 5. It can help grow your local Indivisible movement. Debate Watch Parties
also happen to be a low barrier space that can appeal to folks who are
just getting activated and are looking for an organizing home to join.
You found your way to this movement for a reason: a sense of urgency
that we may lose our democracy if we don’t act now. There are people
around the corner from you who are feeling your same urgency, but who
haven’t found their community. A debate watch party is a great way to
invite them into yours!

Making an impact in elections is hard and invaluable work, and it’s gonna
take all of us to defeat the anti-democracy, anti-abortion politics of
MAGA. And if we’re gonna make it the next 4.5 months without burning out
or losing faith, we’ve gotta lean into our community, find space for joy
and rest, and remind ourselves of why we’re in this fight.

That’s why we’re encouraging you to gather with your local Indivisible
crew (and maybe invite some new people, too!) to tune into the first
presidential debate of 2024! [ [link removed] ]For more info on hosting a watch party
(and the perks we’re offering to help kick your party up a notch), check
out our Presidential Debate Watch Party Toolkit. 

Don’t want to host or attend a watch party, but still want to engage with
the debate? Play [ [link removed] ]Presidential Debate Bingo! 

[ [link removed] ]Also plan to join our next Coffee Klatch on Monday, July 1 at 4pm
ET/1pm PT. Hear directly from Leah and Ezra as they serve up
organizational reactions and analysis about the debate, and answer some
questions from the movement.

Demand Your Members of Congress Say No To Netanyahu

 

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

[ [link removed] ]No to Netanyahu: Netanyahu shouldn't have been invited to address
Congress. Members of Congress shouldn't attend.

 

After the Israeli military announced plans to hold daytime pauses to allow
humanitarian aid into Gaza, [ [link removed] ]Benjamin Netanyahu immediately criticized
the plan, calling it “unacceptable” and compelling the military to
reassure him that there was no change in policy. At the same time,
[ [link removed] ]Netanyahu dissolved his war cabinet this weekend, closing the door on
a unified government that had come together following October 7th. 

Netanyahu’s actions reveal a stark truth: He is not concerned with
achieving peace, rescuing hostages, or unifying the factions within the
Israeli government. His primary concern is consolidating power and
extending his influence under his own rule.

So why is our Congress inviting him to speak?

Netanyahu’s approval rating sits just above 30% in Israel and is similarly
low in the US. Clearly, the vast majority of people worldwide lack
confidence in his leadership. A trip to Washington will not change that.

Now is not the time for him to seek more power. Now is the time for him to
focus on ending this brutal conflict and securing the return of the
hostages.  

A visit to Congress does nothing to achieve those goals, and our
representatives need to make that clear to him. 

[ [link removed] ]Call your representative and tell them to say “No to Netanyahu” and
skip his address to Congress. Rather than indulging in the political
machinations of a Trumpian power-monger, our elected officials must get
back to what’s actually important and impactful: Stopping the flow of
offensive weapons into the hands of the Israeli military, using that
leverage to broker a ceasefire, ensuring the return of the hostages, and
allowing the free administration of humanitarian aid. No to Netanyahu, yes
to peace. 

Call your Members of Congress.

Justice Alito and SCOTUS Corruption

After it was reported that Justice Samuel Alito had flown [ [link removed] ]two separate
versions of flags that are [ [link removed] ]symbols of support for the January 6th
insurrection outside of his home, [ [link removed] ]Alito has stated his refusal to
recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s attempted overthrow of our
government.

This would be a conflict of interest for any judge, but is especially
horrific given our ongoing need for impartial checks and balances as Trump
makes continued allusions to refusing to accept the results of an
election.

The MAGA Supreme Court doesn’t just have a corruption problem, it has an
insurrection problem.



It is past time for Congress to take action, and we need your help to make
that happen:

[ [link removed] ]If you have Senate representation, ask your senators to take a stand
against Supreme Court corruption. Make sure your senators are being vocal
about the need for a thorough investigation into Alito’s corruption.
Congress cannot just accept a corrupt court; they must do everything in
their power to expose that corruption and root it out.



Take a moment to defend our democracy today.
