Your weekly to-dos

By | |
  1. Join our first Immigrant Justice Summer virtual training call THIS Thursday, July 9 to learn how to respond when ICE surges in your community (8pm ET/5pm PT). Across the country, communities are getting organized to respond to ICE’s cruelty — and it’s working. ICE is already offloading 7 of the 11 warehouses they bought to turn into concentration camps, but with its recent $70 billion cash infusion, our fight isn’t over. This summer’s five-part virtual training series will give you the tools you need to respond to ICE surges with your neighbors in a safe, immigrant-aligned way.
  2. Email your Members of Congress and urge them to hold the line and not give another dime to fund Trump’s illegal war with Iran. After launching a disastrous war with Iran against the will of the American people (and without the authorization of Congress) Trump is now seeking $87 billion from our tax-dollars to pay for it. Congress has passed War Powers Resolutions rebuking the regime over this illegal war. But that means little if they now vote to fund it.
  3. Email your Members of Congress and urge them to reject right-wing plans to deepen US-Israeli military entanglement and insulate the Netanyahu government from accountability. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) moves through Congress each year, giving lawmakers an opportunity to sneak in other policies that would not typically pass on their own. This year, Congress is being asked to consider provisions that would enable even deeper entrenchment of the Trump-Netanyahu military relationship, while shielding it from typical congressional oversight — even as Netanyahu sabotages ceasefire efforts and continues gross human rights abuses in the West Bank and Gaza. This is bad policy that should not be passed into law.
  4. If you have a Democratic senator, call and urge them to OPPOSE a toothless CLARITY ACT, and push for real crypto regulation instead. Financial disclosures show that Trump has profited from his crypto coins to the tune of a billion dollars since leaving office. It’s some of the most startling corruption in presidential history — but somehow Congress is advancing a “crypto regulation” bill that would not address it — or address other critical consumer protection and corruption issues around cryptocurrency. 78 House Dems helped pass the CLARITY Act last year — our senators can’t make the same mistake.
  5. Prepare for Trump’s attempts to undermine the midterm elections by joining Hands Off Our Vote, Indivisible’s new program to ensure that 1) every voter can cast their ballot and 2) every vote is counted. You may have heard us say that we’re getting in “election protection formation,” and you can join us! By signing up, you’ll hear about key voting deadlines in your state, learn updates on threats to voting rights and how to counter them, and how to mobilize in case any election sabotage comes our way.
  6. Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 7, join our kickoff call for Michigan endorsed candidates Abdul El-Sayed (MI-Sen), William Lawrence (MI-07), and Donavan McKinney (MI-13) (8pm ET/5pm PT). Join Indivisibles across the country to hear from co-executive director Ezra Levin about our plans to get El-Sayed, Lawrence, and McKinney across the finish line in Michigan’s primaries on August 4. All three candidates are bold champions for working people, and we’re proud to stand with them in the fight against fascism. Paid for by Indivisible Action. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee.
