Indivisibles, 

Last week, in a surprise turn, Sens. Schumer and Manchin announced that
they had reached an agreement on a reconciliation package -- The Inflation
Reduction Act of 2022.

Following a year of turmoil surrounding reconciliation, this is a major
step forward towards a Democratic agenda. Some highlights: 

* A 15% Corporate Minimum Tax ensuring the ultra-rich pay their fair
share
* Closing the Carried Interest Loophole that is a giveaway to Wall
Street investors, and cracking down on wealthy tax cheats
* Investments in cleaner energy solutions that put us on the path toward
a 40% reduction in emissions by 2030
* Permission for Medicare to negotiate drug prices (lowering
prescription drug prices)
* Continued lower Affordable Care Act premiums for millions of Americans
* And more…

This bill would be an incredible step forward for the American people and
the world itself, staving off the impending doom of a climate crisis. 

But, of course, Republicans could not let this go without throwing a
tantrum. 

Immediately following the news of a reconciliation agreement, in a fit of
rage worthy of a toddler, Senate Republicans blocked the PACT Act -- a
bill that would expand health care and benefits to veterans exposed to
toxins while deployed. 

A bipartisan bill to help veterans, previously passed by the Senate in
June by a vote of 84-14 before having to return due to a procedural issue,
was blocked by Senate Republicans just to throw a tantrum. The same MAGA
extremists yelling “support our troops” chose to risk the lives of those
who serve and delay the care veterans desperately need just because they
were mad at Democrats. 

This is the future we have to look forward to if we don’t win in November
-- acts of petty retribution not based on ideology or the will of the
American people but rather grounded in the need to stick it to another
political party. 

We cannot allow this to become our new reality.
We must vote them out before more Americans suffer. 

With that, here are your weekly to-dos:

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

 Your 6 weekly to-dos 

 1. [ [link removed] ]Click here to call your senator and tell them they must pass the
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 immediately! We already know MAGA
Republicans will do anything in their power to block this bill and
prevent us from delivering for the American people. Fortunately, we
don’t need their votes, as long as Democrats hang together. The bill
is currently on track to make it to the Senate floor this week. We
have a short window in which to make sure it has the support needed to
pass and we can not allow Democrats to back down on this historic
deal. Call your senators now, and let them know that the American
people need this to pass without delay.
 2. [ [link removed] ]Click here to register for Indivisible’s Bird-dogging Training
tomorrow Tuesday, August 2 from 8:00-9:30pm ET/5:00-6:30pm PT.
Bird-dogging is a powerful tactic used by grassroots activists to get
candidates and elected officials on the record about important issues.
As we get closer to Nov. 8, it’s important that people see just how
little these MAGA Republicans represent the will of the people. Learn
how best to use their own statements against them at this training.
This training will be facilitated by one of the founders of Bird-dog
Nation. 
 3. [ [link removed] ]Click here to call your senator and tell them to pass the Marriage
Equality Act immediately. Following the Dobbs decision, same-sex
marriage is now on the chopping block for the Republican Supreme
Court. Last week, Senate Republicans blocked passage of the Right to
Contraception Act reminding us that our rights are not only in
jeopardy, but Republicans will actively refuse to enshrine them into
law without pressure. We cannot allow the MAGA-led rollback of our
rights to continue -- not while our senators have the power to
intervene. Voting against the Marriage Equality Act would be wildly
unpopular and put these politicians’ careers in jeopardy (which is why
we saw some House Republicans vote with Democrats on it). Let’s make
sure Republican senators know it too! 
 4. [ [link removed] ]Click here to call your senator and demand they pass the Markey
Court Expansion Bill. Even as Democrats work to expand our rights, the
threat of them being overturned by the Supreme Court looms large. We
must expand the court after Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell conspired
to pack it for generations to come. The only way to re-legitimize the
court is to expand it. Contact your senator and, when you’re done,
[ [link removed] ]click here to contact your representative and tell them to pass
Rep. Mondaire Jones' House version of the bill.
 5. [ [link removed] ]Click here to register to Give No Ground. The fight for our
country’s future begins today. If we do not hold the House and achieve
a real majority in the Senate, our plans to codify basic human rights
will falter. To win, we must get the message out. Give No Ground is
our home for opportunities to phonebank, textbank, canvass, postcard,
and more so that when November comes around, we can say that we gave
it our all for democracy. And, while you’re there, check out the new
[ [link removed] ]Give No Ground resource hub to dive into more information about the
tools and tactics we’ll use to win in November. 
 6. Do you live in a rural area? [ [link removed] ]Click here to join our National Rural
Program. We have special election resources and calls specifically for
our rural Indivisibles where you can learn more about strategies and
issues specific to Indivisibles living in rural areas. If you want an
idea of what that looks like, [ [link removed] ]click here to check out our agenda

We are now 99 days out from the November election. Republicans are
consistently showing that they have no desire to run this country with the
will of the people in mind. MAGA Republicans want to center petty
retribution and their own wealth above the wellbeing of everyday
Americans. Let’s make sure we do the work so that they don’t have the
chance.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
