Your weekly to-dos

By | | ,
  1. Join our Hands Off Our Vote kickoff call THIS Thursday, July 30 for the national launch of our campaign to protect every single vote from Trump’s election subversion (8pm ET/5pm PT). Don’t wait until October to get into election protection formation! Our work starts NOW to build the foundation for an unshakeable movement equipped to defend voting rights and mobilize in rapid response moments if and when Republicans try to undermine free and fair elections. No matter where you live, you can help ensure every vote is counted this November.
  2. Call your US senators and demand they oppose Jay Clayton — another of Trump’s lackeys and golfing buddies — for Director of National Intelligence. The Senate is voting on Clayton’s nomination TONIGHT. Outside of the very basic and disqualifying problem that Clayton has almost no experience tackling intelligence issues, he refused to say that Joe Biden fairly won the 2020 election during his Senate confirmation hearing. We absolutely cannot afford another Trump loyalist at the helm of American intelligence — the implications for surveillance and opportunities for abuse of information are endless. After you’ve called, follow up with a quick email.
  3. Then, call your US senators and tell them to oppose legislation that would entrench Trump-Netanyahu military partnership. Last week, the House narrowly passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with provisions that would further interweave the US and the Israeli militaries through weapons development and intelligence sharing. However, Democrats were nearly united in opposition — proof that we do not have to rubber-stamp Trump’s partnership with Netanyahu. Our senators must reject these provisions in the NDAA, but they need to hear from their constituents. For further reading, check out today’s Substack post for more history, context, and actions you can take.
  4. While your Members of Congress are home for August recess, use our Indivisible resources to schedule an in-district visit or event. If you have Republican Members of Congress, this is a great opportunity to raise your voice in opposition to their attempts to pass voter suppression legislation, pour billions into Trump’s illegal war, and hand more money over to ICE and CBP. If you have Democratic Members of Congress, urge them to refuse to give a single inch to Trump’s authoritarian takeover and illegal and unconstitutional power grabs. Read on for more about the August recess and what our MoCs left unaddressed until September.
  5. With just EIGHT days until Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate primary, join a phonebank for Indivisible’s endorsed candidates in Michigan this Thursday, July 30 or next Monday, August 3 (5:30pm ET/2:30pm PT). El-Sayed is up against a record amount of outside spending for his establishment Dem, Schumer-backed opponent Haley Stevens. With $50 million pouring in to prop up Stevens, we need to bring the people power to this race to help El-Sayed across the finish line. You’ll also get to talk to voters about Donavan McKinney (MI-13) and William Lawrence (MI-07), our other Michigan endorsees. Paid for by Indivisible Action.
