Hey Indivisibles,
Great news for reconciliation: all your countless hours of organizing paid
off, and the House passed Biden’s full Build Back Better agenda (BBB)! Now
the bill is on its way to the Senate, where we expect senators to come to
an official vote as early as November 29th. This is a huge win for
reconciliation, as Biden’s full Build Back Better Agenda will make badly
needed public investments across the economy. The work doesn’t stop here
though -- there will be some hurdles to overcome in the Senate (including
pushback from our usuals: Sens. Manchin and Sinema).
Now for democracy: There was a failed procedural vote on the John Lewis
Voting Rights Advancement Act on November 3. When it comes to a vote
again, we expect Republicans to filibuster the bill -- just like they did
with the Freedom to Vote Act a few weeks ago -- teeing up a big filibuster
showdown once the Senate is done with reconciliation. So it’s on us to
keep pushing for Democrats to fix the filibuster and pass this massively
popular bill.
With that, here are your weekly to-dos:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Weekly To-Dos
1. [ [link removed] ]Call your senator and demand they pass BBB as quickly as possible!
The House just passed the Build Back Better Act (BBB) and now it is on
its way to the Senate. Now it is time for the Senate to do its job and
pass BBB the week of November 29th. With just a few days left until
the Senate vote, it is urgent that you call your senator and tell them
how important it is that we pass an inclusive recovery bill that works
for everyone ASAP.
2. [ [link removed] ]Call your Senator and demand they fix the filibuster and move
quickly to pass the Freedom to Vote Act. Senate Democrats have
released a new version of their democracy reform bill called the
Freedom to Vote Act. The Freedom to Vote Act builds on the For the
People Act and brings us closer to passing transformational democracy
reform this Congress. Call your Senators and let them know you want
them to adjust the filibuster now to pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
3. [ [link removed] ]Make a $10 donation to Indivisible. With everything we need to do
to prep for the Senate fight over BBB, plus democracy and all the
other priorities that await us when senators return, we’re hard at
work building resources, call scripts, and more, and spending a lot of
money to do it. To be honest, we’ve fallen a little behind our
fundraising goal this month -- [ [link removed] ]chip in today to help us close the
gap before the month is up.
