Wednesday, March 12 - Tell Senators to HOLD THE LINE / Indivisible Co-Founder Discussion / Ranked Choice Voting Events
Partner Action: Tell Senators to Hold the Line!
The government will shut down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill. Republicans are pushing a MAGA continuing resolution (CR) that proposes extreme cuts, threatening Social Security, housing, food security, and veterans' benefits. This is not a “clean” CR; it’s a slush fund that increases Trump and Elon Musk's power over federal spending.
Democratic Senators must not support this CR. Instead, they should leverage their position to demand a bill that rejects extreme cuts and protects abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and immigrant communities.
Until Republicans agree, Democrats should only back a clean, two-week CR to keep the government open without enabling a Trump-Musk power grab. This is not business as usual.
Senate Democrats must use every procedural tool (from blanket holds on nominees to blocking unanimous consent and weaponizing quorum calls) available to fight back and delay and defy the Trump agenda.
👉 Use this tool to call your Senators.

Partner Action: TOMORROW - A Discussion with Indivisible Founders
The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back.
The antidote: Coming together in community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back.
👉 Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin each Thursday as they carve out an hour to discuss what’s happening and – more importantly – what’s the plan.
