Indivisibles,

It’s Democratic National Convention week! 

Politicos, delegates, journalists, and more are converging on Chicago,
Illinois to celebrate the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris and
Coach Tim Walz as the Democratic nominees for president and vice
president. 

In anticipation, [ [link removed] ]Harris rolled out the beginnings of her platform,
focused on economic proposals if (when 😉) she becomes president. A few
highlights include:

* Taking on corporate landlords to lower rent prices
* $25,000 in downpayment assistance for first-time homeowners
* Capping insulin costs for everyone at $35
* Capping out of pocket expenses for prescription drugs
* Federal ban on corporate price gouging on food and groceries
* Restoring and expanding tax credits to families and low-income workers
* And more…

With Harris already focused on so many great proposals, we can be assured
a Harris presidency will be a presidency for the people.

The path to her presidency begins in earnest this week at the DNC with
speeches running the gamut from [ [link removed] ]The Tennessee Three, AOC, and Bernie to
President Biden, former President Barack Obama, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and
Sec. Hillary Clinton -- the party is unified behind this new energy.  

The whole week will culminate in Vice President Harris’ speech on
Thursday, and that’s where you come in:

[ [link removed] ]Host a watch party for Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’
DNC speech on Thursday, August 22.

As Vice President Harris continues to energize new voters across the
country, it’s crucial that we harness this energy and transform it into
action all the way through November. So, let’s make an event out of
Harris’ convention speech. You can [ [link removed] ]register your event here, and if you
need planning help, use our simple [ [link removed] ]House Party Toolkit.

But, keep it simple:

 1. Gather your friends and family
 2. Watch the speech together
 3. Make an ask at the end for people to participate in
[ [link removed] ]Neighbor2Neighbor (if eligible) or any of our [ [link removed] ]State to State
resources 
 4. Follow up afterward with attendees with a friendly reminder about the
ask

These don’t need to be massive, press-oriented events. In fact, they
shouldn’t be. These should be the type of community fun you might think of
for a Superbowl party or to watch the Olympics. 

Make a dip. Put out some finger foods. [ [link removed] ]Whip up a hotdish. Let’s make
saving our democracy a fun time. 

Ready to be the host with the most?

 Your weekly to-dos 

[ [link removed] ]Phonebank for Kamala Harris: Friday, August 23 at 3pm ET

 1. [ [link removed] ]Register for our national phonebank into Nevada for Kamala Harris
this Friday, August 23 at 3pm ET/12pm PT. The Democratic National
Convention concludes on Thursday with a speech by Vice President
Harris, and we’ll be capitalizing on the energy of seeing Kamala take
the stage by making calls on Friday. We’ll be dialing into Nevada --
one of the top presidential battlegrounds where the election will be
decided this year. Come help us make sure Nevadans are fired up and
ready to catapult Kamala into the Oval Office. If you can’t make this
phonebank, [ [link removed] ]sign up for one of our upcoming opportunities here. 
 2. [ [link removed] ]Register for Women Wednesdays for Harris weekly **RESTARTING
WEDNESDAY 8/28** at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT through the election. Women
Wednesdays is taking a break this week to encourage everyone to watch
the DNC. But restarting next week, every Wednesday through Election
Day, we will be partnering on a national call bringing together women
from all across the country to build community, strategize, and share
tools to drive a Harris victory in November. The August 28 call will
focus on the most effective ways to share our personal stories. Stay
tuned to hear about the special guests. 
 3. [ [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

Majority Over MAGA Book Talk with Ari Berman

[ [link removed] ]Minority Rule -- Ari Berman in conversation with Ezra Levin September
4 at 5pm ET

[ [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.

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!

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.**

 

[ [link removed] ]Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly agreed to a mediated agreement meant
to bridge the gap between his government and Hamas on a ceasefire. This is
a good sign of progress toward a durable peace, as it is the closest
Netanyahu’s government has come to a full deal at the negotiating table. 

Unfortunately, Hamas has not agreed to the proposals yet, and has
[ [link removed] ]referred to the proposal as slanted toward Israel. 

What does this all mean? We are closer to a ceasefire agreement, the
return of the hostages, and the administration of humanitarian aid than we
have been at any point since Oct. 7th, but we still have ground to cover. 

That means it’s still crucial that we continue to contact our
representatives and tell them to use every tool at their disposal to push
this agreement over the finish line. It is past time for peace.

Contact your Member of Congress today!

[ [link removed] ]Join us for Apathy To Action -- Understanding the Threats Our
Democracy Faces on Monday, August 26 at 8pm ET/5pm PT.

What does it mean for democracy to be under attack? Is fear of a descent
toward authoritarianism rational? We’ll be partnering with the Protect
Democracy Project to talk about what these ideas mean in an American
context and walk us through the forecasted implications of what we’re
seeing on a daily basis. We’ll follow that up by exploring what it means
to prepare ourselves, be vigilant for one another, and safeguard our
rights and our democracy moving forward.
