Indivisibles,

We took a quick break last week. Did anything happen while we were gone?

Vice President Kamala Harris is the Democratic candidate for president?
Incredible! We’re excited by [ [link removed] ]what can be, unburdened by what has been.
😉

Seriously, what an astounding turn of events. President Biden made what
had to be one of the most courageous decisions in presidential election
history and, in so doing, has ignited a movement that we are going to ride
right into the White House, Senate, and House in November. 

And that energy is growing beyond those of us who were already active:

* Win With Black Women hosted an event that brought together 44,000
virtual guests and raised $1.6 million in three hours
* Following in their footsteps, Win With Black Men hosted a call with
53,000 guests and raised $1.3 million
* Answering the Call then broke Zoom, hosting over 100,000 guests on an
event targeted at white women and raising over $8 million 

In the week since Kamala Harris announced her candidacy, [ [link removed] ]she has raised
$200 million and signed up 170,000 volunteers with 66% of her donations
coming from first-time donors.

And there are still more calls to come:

* [ [link removed] ]White Dudes for Harris is hosting a call tonight at 8pm ET/5pm PT.
* [ [link removed] ]Indivisible is co-hosting an Asian American/Pacific
Islander-focused call this Wednesday, July 31 at 4pm ET/1pm PT with
AAPI Victory Alliance.

The momentum is building. 
The people are ready. 
We are building a coalition to prevent Project 2025, reject MAGA
extremism, and elect a true trifecta in November that will codify abortion
rights, institute democracy reform, and [ [link removed] ]root out corruption in our
courts.

Let’s capitalize on this movement. Let’s show MAGA that they are not now,
and never will be, the majority. And let’s not waste a single one of the
next 98 days to win!

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

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

 Your 5 weekly to-dos 

[ [link removed] ]National Phonebank for Josh Riley NY-19 Wednesday, August 14 at 6pm ET
with special guest Shaina Taub

 1. [ [link removed] ]Register for our national phonebank in support of Josh Riley for
NY-19 on Wednesday, August 14 at 6pm ET/3pm PT. Josh Riley is running
for one of the 18 most-competitive House districts in the country and
looking to unseat MAGA Republican Marc Molinaro. If you don’t have
experience with HubDialer, don’t worry, we’ll get you trained up and
ready to go. If you’re a seasoned vet, we’ll get you on the phone
ASAP. But first, we’ll let you hear from local group leaders in the
district so you’ll be armed with the current state of play and hear
some special remarks by Shaina Taub -- Recent Tony Award winner for
Suffs.  
 2. [ [link removed] ]Check out our new Project 2025 resources. You asked for more
specific resources on Project 2025, its impact, and how we need to
talk about it to win in November, and we answered. Project 2025 is the
most thorough blueprint we have ever seen from MAGA Republicans on how
they plan to strip away our rights, protections, and freedoms if they
achieve power. But as dangerous as their plan is for the American
people, it is just as damaging to their electability. But only when
people know about it. We have to make sure people understand just how
extreme Project 2025 intends to be, and here’s your literature to do
it.

* [ [link removed] ]Project 2025 Explained -- An in-depth analysis of the MAGA
playbook
* [ [link removed] ]25 Things to Know About Project 2025 -- A quick list of 25
extreme things MAGA Republicans have planned with Project 2025
* [ [link removed] ]Talking About Project 2025 -- Key messaging strategies for
educating voters about Project 2025 and ensuring they understand
the stakes

 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. 
 5. [ [link removed] ]Review our resource on safety and deescalation strategies. We know
that the uncertainty that follows events like the shooting at a Trump
rally leads to worry about security and safety for yourself and fellow
activists in your community. Your safety remains our highest priority,
and we've prepared this resource to address these serious concerns.
Use this guide to help you feel prepared to deescalate tense
situations and keep yourself, and your fellow activists, safe as we
continue to work toward a brighter tomorrow. For those of you working
on Neighbor2Neighbor, check out our [ [link removed] ]Canvassing Best Practices
Guide from the bottom of that resource.

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.

Majority Over MAGA Book Talk with Ari Berman

[ [link removed] ]Register for Co-Executive Director Ezra Levin’s conversation with Ari
Berman -- author of Minority Rule -- on Wednesday, September 4 at 5pm
ET/2pm PT.

The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, represented an
extreme form of the central danger facing American democracy today: a
blatant disregard for the will of the majority. 

This crisis didn’t begin or end with Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn
the 2020 election. Through voter suppression, election subversion,
gerrymandering, dark money, the takeover of the courts, and the
whitewashing of history, reactionary white conservatives have
strategically entrenched power in the face of a massive demographic and
political shift. Ari Berman charts these efforts with sweeping historical
research and incisive on-the-ground reporting, chronicling how a wide
range of antidemocratic tactics interact with profound structural
inequalities in institutions like the Electoral College, the Senate, and
the Supreme Court to threaten the survival of representative government in
America.

And, surprise, we are offering a free copy of Minority Rule to the first
250 people who register for the event. 

Chilling and revelatory, Minority Rule exposes the long history of the
conflict between white supremacy and multiracial democracy that has
reached a fever pitch today -- while also telling the inspiring story of
resistance to these regressive efforts. [ [link removed] ]Sign up for the book
conversation today!

Local Voices, Local Power Round 4 Endorsements

[ [link removed] ]Local Voices, Local Power (LVLP) is our group-driven endorsements
program that puts money and resources into our local groups’ hands to
power wins for Democratic champions all across the country, up and down
the ballot. 

Check out our fourth round of candidates, the groups who endorsed them,
and a quick summation of why they endorsed in their own words:

[ [link removed] ]Michiana Alliance for Democracy endorses Heidi Beidinger for Indiana
House Seat 5

Heidi Beidinger is endorsed by [ [link removed] ]Michiana Alliance for Democracy for
Indiana House Seat 5. Heidi strongly supports our progressive values and
is running because, across the country and in Indiana, extreme Republicans
are continuing their attacks on our freedoms, families, and futures. She
is running against a MAGA Republican who has consistently voted against
unions, public education, teachers, and environmental protections. She
draws a sharp distinction with her opponent, emphasizing his corruption
and association with MAGA-backed organizations. She has been active in
helping to improve our local school districts, has served seven years on
the county Board of Health, and has served on a statewide coalition for
lead poisoning prevention that helped pass two pieces of legislation
focused on improving services for children at risk for lead poisoning.
Heidi has put together a strong campaign and a strong team. Republicans
now hold a supermajority of the Indiana state legislature. Democrats need
to flip four seats to break this supermajority. We believe that Heidi will
win her election, and so are anxious to help make this happen.

[ [link removed] ]Itasca Area Indivisible Endorses Jennifer Schultz for MN-08

Jennifer Schultz is endorsed by [ [link removed] ]Itasca Area Indivisible for MN-08. Jen
Schultz was a successful and accomplished State of Minnesota Legislator
for four terms. She has a PhD in Healthcare Economics and is a union
faculty member at the University of Minnesota, indicating intelligence and
determination to succeed, despite the barriers faced by her and her
family. Jen is mounting a vigorous and inspiring campaign. Her
determination and energy are contagious and an inspiration to members of
Itasca Area Indivisible and other local activist groups. Jen is “fearless”
and will cheerfully and enthusiastically approach individuals and groups
of all political persuasions. Her campaign is positive -- but with no fear
of criticizing the opponent -- and is very aligned with Itasca Area
Indivisible’s values. She is an excellent and experienced candidate, and a
champion who has earned our enthusiastic confidence and support.

[ [link removed] ]Salt Lake Indivisible Endorses Dawn Stevenson for Utah House District
27

Dawn Stevenson is endorsed by [ [link removed] ]Salt Lake Indivisible for Utah House
District 27. Salt Lake Indivisible is excited to support Dawn Stevenson
because of her years of work within our public schools. As a former school
counselor, Dawn has come face to face with some of the greatest challenges
young people and their families face when navigating our education system.
Because of the many perspectives and experiences she’s been exposed to
through her work, we believe she has the necessary experience to find
solutions that work for everyone. Dawn is an original thinker and a
dedicated problem solver. She has served our community for years, and we
think it’s time to empower her to bring her skills and solutions to all of
Utah as the next District 27 representative.

 

These candidates reflect our local groups’ commitment to finding and
supporting candidates who reflect a Democratic ideal that will drive the
sorts of change we desperately need. Whether that’s enshrining
reproductive freedoms on the federal level, or fighting for the dignity of
all people across a single city, we are looking for true Democratic
fighters who will defend democracy and champion the will of the people
come November.

Demand Your Members of Congress Call For A Ceasefire

 

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

 

Last week, [ [link removed] ]Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress,
attempting to frame his completely inept, corrupt, and horrific handling
of Gaza in a positive light and begging Congress to provide him with more
weapons to “finish the job.”

Except he wasn’t addressing a full joint session -- More than 100
Democratic Members of Congress skipped his address (up from the 58 who
skipped his speech in 2015), demonstrating that the Democratic Party is
continuing to move toward more forceful criticism of Netanyahu’s brutal
campaign in Palestine. 

[ [link removed] ]As Leah said in our press release:

Rather than dignifying a man perpetuating a brutal onslaught and
humanitarian crisis, our elected leaders should be pressuring him to take
the peace deal that’s on the table. No more US bombs should be sent to be
dropped on Gaza, and the US must use every ounce of diplomatic pressure
available to secure an immediate ceasefire, now.

This weekend, the brutal onslaught continued as an [ [link removed] ]Israeli airstrike
hit a school in Gaza on Saturday, killing at least 30 Palestinians
including several children.

In a horrific preview of escalating tensions in the region as a whole,
[ [link removed] ]Israel accused Hezbollah of firing a rocket from Lebanon into an
Israeli-controlled Druze town on the Syrian border killing twelve children
and teens. Though Hezbollah has denied responsibility, the bombing has
only increased tensions, pushing the area closer to a broader all-out
regional conflict.

It is time for our leaders to step up and do everything in their power to
de-escalate this situation, and that means ending the supply of offensive
weapons to Netanyahu’s military to force his government to negotiate a
true ceasefire, bring home the remaining hostages, end the suffering, and
allow unrestricted humanitarian aid into Gaza. [ [link removed] ]Call your
