While we’re not sure what the rest of this week will hold, we know one thing: we need to keep demanding that Congress put people over profits. That’s why we created a new ‘People Over Profits’ landing page for all of our coronavirus resources and asks, which you can find here. As more and more Indivisibles shelter-in-place and social-distance to avoid spreading the coronavirus, we recognize that organizing on the ground has suddenly shifted drastically. That’s why all of our asks are digital asks, which you can find below.
One more thing -- take time for yourself to decompress. Cook a meal. Practice some self-care. Breathe deeply. And let’s be thankful for the things in our life that we have and can control. The coming weeks might be scary as hell, but we’re in this together, as a movement.
And now, our digital to-dos:

Your weekly to-dos 

  1. Call your Representative and tell them the same. The previous coronavirus bill that passed originated in the House, and it didn't go nearly far enough in protecting folks most directly affected by this pandemic (millions of workers will be denied the protections in that bill). The new package might even walk back some of the inadequate protections from the previous package! The House needs to make this right. Call your representatives now and demand that they support the above provisions be included in the next coronavirus package.
  2. Demand your Senators ensure safe, secure elections during the coronavirus outbreak. We know that the coronavirus is scary, and we’re all making sacrifices to minimize any further spread of the virus. We have seen some states make the very difficult decision to postpone primary elections in an effort to reduce community spread of coronavirus. But we can’t let this public health crisis impede the functioning of our democratic processes. That’s why we’re recommending states start now to build alternatives to in-person voting so that nothing will put the administration of the November presidential election at risk. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Ron Wyden have introduced a bill to assist states in expanding vote-by-mail for this November’s election. Call your senators to demand that the Natural Disaster and Emergency Ballot Act be included in the next coronavirus relief package.
  3. Text PAYBACK to 977-79 and join the Payback Project right now. Even in the three weeks since we launched this project to take back the Senate, we’ve already seen twists and turns and had to drop everything to respond to new Republican schemes. We know that’s not going to stop, which is why we need even more folks texting, donating, and joining local groups as we continue to get payback now and until the election!
