Indivisible Policy, Actions and opportunities for you to give feedback, attend webinars and grow your activism!


Activist to-dos for the week

  1. Find out where your senators stand on Kavanaugh -- and then start lighting up their phone lines this Monday to demand they say NO on moving his nomination a single step forward. Call 1-844-778-3056 to be directly connected with your senators.
  2. Share your thoughts on Indivisible’s post-election strategy. Take our survey and help us begin to chart our post-election strategy -- for the lame duck Congress, first 100 days, and all the way to 2020. ANY MEMBER CAN DO THIS!
  3. Don’t wait another moment to register to vote. Help your friends and family get registered, too! Check out our voter registration tool at indivisible.turbovote.org to get started. ANY MEMBER CAN DO THIS TOO!


We want to hear from you!

We’ve gotten so many responses since last week! Thank you so much for helping us shape our next chapter. But we still need another solid push of responses to get as many different views -- Indivisible group members, group leaders, and even every day supporters of the Indivisible movement -- to make sure that we’re getting the best possible input on our post-election strategy.
If you haven’t yet, and only if you haven’t, can you set a few minutes aside today to take this survey? You’ve been with us every step of the way, and now we want your input as our team dives into what our work should look like after the midterms. ANY MEMBER CAN DO THIS TOO!


RSVP: Electoral Strategy & Overview Webinar ANY MEMBER CAN DO THIS TOO!

Join us for a Strategy Briefing on Indivisible's midterm plans including our unique contributions and values as a movement, how and when we are reaching voters, and how your group can plug in!
You'll have a chance to ask questions of our electoral training team and preview the training series we're developing now through the midterm elections chocked full of everything you need to know to make a difference at the midterms.

Help find us our next fellows!

The Indivisible Organizing Team is in search of candidates for our fellowship program this fall. We’re looking for dynamic individuals who are excited to support local Indivisible groups and develop key organizing skills.
The Organizing Fellowship program is open in states and regions across the country. Fellows would be hired for a fixed-term, part-time paid position from now through the midterms.
If you know someone who would be excited to help us #DoTheWork, please share our application form and encourage them to check it out and apply today!


This week’s policy rundown

Congress has wrapped up most of its work until late September, but there’s still a lot happening in the courts:
  • Attacks on immigrant families continue. Any day now, a court in Texas will rule on the whether the DACA program will be allowed to continue, possibly further threatening the lives of 800,000 DACA recipients. Additionally, the administration is planning to issue a new anti-immigrant and anti-family regulation that would punish immigrant families for being poor, and for using services for which they are eligible. For more info check out resources from our immigration partners. Keep your eyes on our social media @IndivisibleTeam for the latest updates.
  • We’re getting close to Trump’s next chance to shut down the government. Congress will have to pass a government funding bill at the end of September to keep its doors open through the end of the year. Trump wants to hold this funding hostage unless the Democrats cave in to his demands to build his border wall and dramatically overhaul our system of legal immigration. Democrats will need to hold strong against Trump’s white supremacist agenda if they want to keep their momentum going into November.
  • Visit trumpthreatlevel.indivisible.org for a running list of all the ways Trump makes us less safe this week, and review our latest foreign policy resources to take action.
