ICA Action: Virtual Canvassing Training 6/9
Are you interested in giving canvassing a try but missed our in-person training sessions? Join us for a special virtual canvassing training session this Tuesday, June 10 at 6:15PM. Designed to help prepare our Indivisible colleagues in Iowa for a June 20 canvass, the session will cover the basics that apply to canvassing anywhere. Come learn why knocking on voters’ doors and engaging them in one-on-one conversations is the single most effective way to win their vote.
Already experienced? Sign up here to join us June 20 in Iowa.
And, whether you’re a veteran canvasser or this is your first time knocking doors, come join us for canvasses scheduled this weekend in Wisconsin and Michigan. 👉 Sign up here!
Community Action: Oppose Todd Blanche for Attorney General
Trump has nominated his former personal criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanche, to serve as Attorney General of the United States. Blanche, who previously served as Deputy Attorney General, is the current Acting Attorney General, and there are serious concerns that he will further politicize the Justice Department. Blanche has pursued investigations into several of Trump’s perceived political enemies, leading former prosecutors and legal scholars to warn that the department is being used as a tool for political retaliation.
Blanche also praised Trump’s mass pardons of January 6 defendants and helped create the controversial $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” for the so-called political victims of the Biden administration. Last year, he traveled to Florida to meet with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, who reportedly received limited immunity to answer questions during the unorthodox interview. The Attorney General is the nation’s top law enforcement officer, not the president’s personal attorney.
👉 The Senate should reject the nomination of Todd Blanche and demand an Attorney General who will put the Constitution and the rule of law above political loyalty.

Script: Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from Chicago. I'm calling to ask Senator [NAME] to oppose Todd Blanche for Attorney General. Todd Blanche has shown that his loyalty is to the president, not the Constitution or the American public, making him unfit to serve as Attorney General.

ICA Chapter Action: Postcard Parties 6/14
All are welcome to join Indivisible Edgewater's postcard parties on June 14th to encourage Michigan voters to do so on Nov 3rd! The 14th is Flag Day and Trump is planning a crude attempt to take it over. We say on Flag Day that many forms of nonviolent resistance to authoritarianism attempts is Patriotic!
👉 You can join us on Sunday, June 14 at
We'll have the address lists, script and postcards. Along with your energy and good spirits as we write to keep democracy alive, we ask you to contribute to the stamp fund if you are able to do so or bring stamps.
