Your weekly to-dos

  1. Yesterday, ICE shot and injured Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old DoorDash driver from Venezuela. Wilber is the third DoorDash driver known to have been shot by ICE, but the company has remained silent — and complicit. Delete your DoorDash app and account until they take decisive action to protect their drivers from ICE. Instead of speaking out against the Trump regime’s deportation and death machine that has brutalized their workers, DoorDash is lobbying for the regime’s legislative priorities — including a bill that would weaken DC home rule. If you’re in Texas, we encourage you to get synced up with Indivisibles and others in Austin demanding justice for Wilber and for their community. If you’re not, make sure to amplify their call for accountability, and call out DoorDash by deleting your account and app until the company speaks out against ICE’s brutality and violence.
  2. Find or host a No Kings event near you on October 17 and join millions in standing up against Trump’s threats to sabotage our elections. We need organized people power to win and protect the midterms. This No Kings Day, we’ll kick off the voting season with our communities and continue to build a nationwide movement ready to activate at the first inkling of election sabotage by the Trump regime. If you’ve already signed up for an event near you, take a moment to ask three friends to join you.
  3. Want to get more involved this No Kings Day, but on the fence about hosting an event? Catch up with last week’s intro and strategy call for creative ideas and everything you need to make hosting accessible. For an even deeper dive, check out the host toolkit. Then, once you’re ready, create your event!
  4. Join our monthly Fight Back With Friends! virtual training tomorrow, Tuesday, September 22 to explore how you can leverage the power of your personal relationships to activate your friends, family, and neighbors to get out the vote (6:30pm ET/3:30pm PT). For our calls to action in both September and October, we’ll learn how to engage our friends in a strategic conversation about voting, encourage them to bring their own circles to the polls, and prepare our communities to help protect the vote after November 3, no matter the results.
  5. TONIGHT, Monday, September 21, make calls to Iowans to get out the vote for Josh Turek (IA-Sen), Christina Bohannan (IA-01), Lindsay James (IA-02), and Sarah Trone Garriott (IA-03) (6:30pm ET/5:30pm CT/3:30pm PT). Iowa’s current congressional delegation are all Republicans who have bent the knee to Trump while forgoing their constituents’ needs. We have a chance to flip one Senate seat and three House seats in Iowa this November, but we can’t do it without a wave of grassroots support. Paid for by Indivisible Action. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee.
