By Ezra Levin, Indivisible Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director In these newsletters, we keep our eye on our North Star — rebuilding the Dem trifecta to codify abortion rights and pass democracy reform. While staying focused on that, we cover the same three things every couple-ish weeks — what’s in the news, what we have to be proud of, and what we’re discussing in the movement. These can be long…so I’m bowing to popular demand and including a summary at the top this time: The News: Trump and Republicans are scared as hell of the political impact of their fight to ban abortions. They are ..read more

This newsletter is an opportunity to share relevant updates and have a conversation as we walk this path together. With that, let me get to the news, the brag, and the discussion!

By Leah Greenberg, Indivisible Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director The map from Project 2024, our plan to win a real Democratic trifecta in November. I’m going to level with you. The vibes right now? They are not great! According to my inbox, there’s a lot of anxiety floating around about 2024. That’s pretty reasonable. The presidential polls aren’t where we’d like them to be. The consequences of losing are catastrophic. I don’t begrudge anyone feeling worried. Now, two years ago, as we geared up for the 2022 midterm season, things also looked pretty bleak. The most common smart-pun ..read more

By Ezra Levin, Indivisible Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director By popular demand, I’m trying to write fewer words. So let’s skip the intro to this bi-weekly-ish newsletter and get right to it: the News, the Brag, and the Discussion. The News: Ohio and the path to national protections for abortion rights and democracy We’re all on the same mission here: defeat MAGA, codify reproductive freedom, pass democracy reform, and dance on Trump’s first day in prison. That’s the game plan. But you’ve likely heard the conventional wisdom that, sure, Democrats may take the House and Trump may lose ..read more

By Ezra Levin, Indivisible Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director Screengrab via CBS News Mitch McConnell announced his soon-to-come retirement. The MAGA-packed Supreme Court he helped Trump create just delayed Trump’s coup trial for months. And any reasonable person paying attention can’t help but be spitting mad at this nationally-humiliating miscarriage of justice. So, enough preamble. Let’s get to The News, the Brag, and the Discussion. The News: McConnell’s retirement and the Supreme Court’s dirty deal You may have heard the celebratory cheers last Wednesday morning. Mitch McConne ..read more

Keeping Christian Nationalism out of the White House (and your bedroom, Dr.’s office, local courthouse…) Screengrab via C-SPAN A trio of stories over the past week have provided a glimpse into how devastating a second Trump term would be for reproductive freedom. Not just abortion — everything from contraception to fertility treatments are under threat. When we talk about stuff this dystopian, some try to write it off as alarmism or a symptom of “Trump derangement syndrome.” But these stories are notable because two come from inside Trump’s circle — their plans in their words. And a ..read more

How We’re Going to Defeat MAGA, 10 Doors at a Time The stakes of 2024 could not be higher. Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee, and our slim majority in the Senate is in dire jeopardy. Although Indivisible has a nationwide network of volunteers, recent electoral cycles have surfaced growing challenges with traditional voter contact methods. To mobilize the base, build a winning majority, and retake our Democratic trifecta this year, the pro-democracy, anti-extremist coalition of volunteers and activists must adapt to the changing electoral landscape. Indivisible’s got a plan for ..read more

By Ezra Levin, Indivisible Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director This is a big election year, so I want to try something new. I want to start a conversation about why we’ll win. We have 43 weeks until the election — and I feel the time ticking. Every week, Leah and I are talking with journalists, visiting with Indivisible group leaders, leading and participating in coalitions, and driving our national campaign strategy (and hanging out with 3-year-old Zeke and 9-month-old Lila, who are, I can tell you, a hoot). This work gives us a fair amount of exposure to the workings of the political ..read more

By Ezra Levin, Indivisible Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director (Note: This was published on November 27, 2022) It’s Thanksgiving newsletter time with your host, Ezra! As always, this newsletter is free, and I won’t be asking you for money here — these newsletters are all about building community anddeveloping a shared understanding of the world. And since it’s Thanksgiving, I want to give some thanks while giving a peek behind the curtain on how this year in politics played out for us. Sidenote: normally I say you can find me on Twitter, which is still true here, but I’m increasing ..read more

George Santos, author of the Declaration of Independence and ten-time NBA All Star, expelled from Congress Screengrab via NBC News It’s official: George Santos has been expelled from the House of Representatives. He is only the sixth person in congressional history to have been expelled — and it was a long time coming. This year, there’s been an endless stream of reporting detailing how Santos lies to his constituents and voters, stole from his own campaign donors, and broke a number of election laws earning him 23 federal indictments. After the Ethics Committee released a repor ..read more
