Monday, June 30 - Phone Bank to Save Medicaid THIS WEEK! / Delay and Disrupt the Republican Tax Scam / Protect Chicago from Toxic Pollution
Partner Action: URGENT - Phone Bank to Save Medicaid
We need your help to stop Trump’s harmful Big Terrible Bill, which threatens to cut health care and food assistance for millions and benefits the wealthy. While some Senators are wavering due to the impact of Medicaid cuts, opposition and efforts by the Senate parliamentarian have removed some damaging provisions.
However, the bill still favors tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, funded by slashing programs for those in need. Indivisible, along with other groups, is organizing phonebanks during these days to connect with Medicaid recipients and encourage them to contact Congress. Your calls are crucial to sway votes and protect vulnerable communities. Join us to make a difference.

Partner Action: Tell Senators to Delay and Disrupt the Republican Tax Scam
Republicans are racing to pass their tax scam bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential programs, but they’re still fighting internally about the content of the bill: some are hesitant about making such big cuts to Medicaid, some want even deeper cuts. And that’s left Republican leaders Johnson and Thune scrambling to balance the demands from all the different sides of their caucus.
So the more drawn out and painful that Democrats can make the fight, the less likely they’ll be able to actually pass a bill. And Democrats will have the opportunity to do so, including during vote-a-rama when they can introduce endless amendments to postpone the Senate vote on passage of the bill.
👉 Call your Senators now and ask them to do everything in their power to delay and disrupt the budget reconciliation process. Remind them that they can still take action now to defeat the tax scam bill.

Partner Action: Protect Chicago from Toxic Pollution
Decades of broken zoning and land use policies have concentrated toxic pollution in Chicago's low-income, Black, and brown communities. These neighborhoods have become "sacrifice zones” where chemical plants, heavy metal scrappers, and other industrial facilities spew pollutants right next to homes, parks, and schools with disastrous impacts on community health and the environment.
The Hazel Johnson Cumulative Impacts Ordinance, named after the late Chicagoan and mother of the environmental justice movement Hazel M. Johnson, will consider cumulative health impacts before new pollution sources are allowed to wreak further havoc on already overburdened communities. The more transparent and fair approach to permitting outlined in the ordinance will bring community members and alders to the table for a transparent process that helps ensure every Chicagoan lives in an environment that safeguards their health.
