ICA Action: November or Never Election Briefing 9/24
Indivisible Chicago is pulling out all the stops to win big on November 3 and take back Congress.

With less than six weeks to go until the Midterm Election and voters in some states already casting their ballots, now is the time to jump in!
👉 On Thursday, September 24 at 7:00 PM CT, join us on Zoom for a special Midterms briefing on the House and Senate campaigns we are supporting in Michigan and Wisconsin:

Community Action: Oppose MAHA Influencer for Surgeon General
Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Nicole Saphier, a health and wellness influencer and former Fox News contributor, to serve as U.S. Surgeon General.
She owns DropRx, a company that sells unregulated “tinctures” containing kava kava root, an ingredient the FDA warns can cause severe liver injury, and has only pledged to divest if she’s confirmed.
Saphier’s own books clearly demonstrate her concerning views on health and healthcare. She distanced herself from vaccine misinformation pushed by Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at her confirmation hearing but has quietly removed posts criticizing the Trump administration’s anti-science policies from her social media.
The real question isn’t whether Saphier can say the right things in a hearing, but whether she’ll be allowed to tell Americans the truth once she’s inside an administration actively working to unravel vaccine guidance. The Surgeon General’s office needs someone whose credibility and independence are beyond question.
👉 Call your senators now and demand they reject Nicole Saphier’s confirmation.
Call Senator Durbin in DC 202-224-2152, email him, or use a local office number
618-351-1122 - Carbondale, IL
312-353-4952 - Chicago, IL
309-786-5173 - Rock Island, IL
217-492-4062 - Springfield, IL
Call Senator Duckworth in DC 202-224-2854, email her, or use a local office number:
618-722-7070 - Belleville, IL
618-677-7000 - Carbondale, IL
312-886-3506 - Chicago, IL
309-606-7060 - Rock Island, IL
217-528-6124 - Springfield, IL
Script: Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY]. I’m calling to urge Senator [NAME] to oppose Nicole Saphier's appointment to U.S. Surgeon General. Saphier is a wellness influencer more interested in selling dangerous herbal remedies than giving credible medical guidance. She is unfit to serve as America's doctor.

ICA Action: Midterm Postcards
Let's finish strong writing postcards! We have one month to write and get the postcards in the mail. Volunteers like you have signed up to write 14 million postcards nationally so far to help Democrats flip both the US House and Senate on November 3. Our postcards and data-driven messages are proven to add tens of thousands of Democratic votes — there's no better way to make a difference from your own home.
👉 Find your nearest postcard parties and pick up locations here!
If you would like to pick up postcards in Lakeview or Lincoln Square, please contact pat@indivisiblechicago.com and indicate how many postcards you would like and your preferred pickup location.
