STEPHAN COX’S INTERVIEW WITH INDIVISIBLE’S LEAH AND EZRA! – 

https://www.facebook.com/IndivisiblePodcast/videos/1024641781343656
Indivisible founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin talk about Indivisible’s role in making Trump a one-term president and discuss next steps, through the end of the year and beyond.

From Indivisible National

In short, we’re focused on 5 things during the “lame duck” period between the election and Inauguration:

  • Taking the two senate run-offs in Georgia on January 5th
  • Fending off any final Trump catastrophes
  • Bolstering House progressives’ voting bloc power
  • Ensuring Biden makes good early personnel choices
  • Winning the upcoming COVID response and federal funding fight

What we can do now – Ballot Curing in California to help Democrats hold on to Congressional seats. Check out these CA opportunities:

  • CA-39 Gil Cisneros – The campaign is running an aggressive ballot curing effort both on the phones and knocking on doors. Phone bank: https://www.mobilize.us/cisnerosforcongress/event/362517/
  • CA-10 TJ Cox – The campaign is running an aggressive ballot curing effort both on the phones and knocking on doors.  Phone bank: https://www.mobilize.us/coxforcongress/event/355740/
  • CA-25 Christy Smith – The campaign and progressive groups are running an aggressive ballot curing effort both on the phones and knocking on doors.  Phone bank: https://www.mobilize.us/grassrootsdemocratslahq/event/362522/
  • CA-48 Harley Rouda – Progressive groups are running ballot curing phonebanking.  Phone bank: https://www.mobilize.us/grassrootsdemocratslahq/event/362632/

We can engage with voters in Georgia by writing, phone banking, texting, and donating.

 

BOTH Senate races in Georgia will be decided on January 5, 2021!

 

Since Georgia voted for Joe Biden, we are optimistic that we can still tie the US Senate by winning these two races.

 

Georgia is one of the states where Republicans have been making extreme efforts to suppress the vote.

 

Help register new voters before December 7, and help turn out the vote by January 5!

 

VOLUNTEER for both Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock.

Many opportunities available for those living outside GA and under the age of 18!

Trumpism is active right here in Pierce County and Washington State, but we have many opportunities to make a difference!

From Ryan Mello…
“Challenge yourself to be uncomfortable. Get up earlier to wave signs! Talk to strangers on the phone! Learn to use a text bank app!”

On November 4, you will know you did everything you possibly could.

ACTIONS MATTER NOW!

Goal: Get every single ballot turned in and counted.

If we do the work, in our region alone, we can flip 8 Legislative seats from RED to BLUE.

  • Health care is on the ballot

  • Reproductive rights are on the ballot

  • Civil rights are on the ballot

  • Action to address climate change is on the ballot, and so much more

REALLY SIGNIFICANT RACES IN WASHINGTON WILL BE CLOSE, AND WE CAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE A SINGLE VOTE.

THE WA DEMOCRATS’ PHONE BANKS USE THE MOST CURRENT DATA ON RETURNED BALLOTS.

YOU WILL BE CALLING TO URGE PEOPLE TO TURN IN THEIR BALLOTS!

WILL YOU HELP?
