Thursday, August 21 - Defending Democracy in the Redistricting Arms Race Virtual Panel 8/26 / No Taxpayer Money for Big Oil & Gas / Weekend Phone Banks
Partner Action: Defending Democracy in the Redistricting Arms Race Virtual Panel 8/26
Join Indivisible Illinois on Tuesday, August 26th at 7:30pm CST for a compelling virtual panel discussion as we explore how states like Illinois and California can prepare to push back against a nationwide push led by Trump and MAGA Republicans to exploit gerrymandering and undermine democratic representation.
This virtual panel goes beyond theory; it's about proactive defense of electoral integrity. Whether you're an organizer, concerned voter, or policy advocate, this discussion will equip you with deeper insight into how blue states can uphold democracy and resist the partisan overhaul of electoral maps.
Hear firsthand from Illinois state legislators and political insiders who were directly involved in Illinois’s recent redistricting cycle on how principles of fairness and federal law shaped their strategies.
👉 Sign up to join the panel discussion!

Partner Action: No Taxpayer Money for Big Oil & Gas
Every year, billions of tax dollars are given to the fossil fuel industry in direct federal subsidies.
The End Polluter Welfare Act is the most comprehensive legislative proposal to eliminate dozens of tax loopholes and over $190 billion in taxpayer-funded giveaways that benefit the fossil fuel industry.

Partner Action: Weekend Phone Banks
Indivisible Illinois and Swing Left Chicago are excited to join the Virginia Dems' Weekend of Action by adding our weekly Virginia phone bank to their efforts. We’ll collaborate with OFA Westside LA for a coordinated effort to help Virginia Democrats turn the state blue.
Virginia voters are furious with GOP Governor Glenn Younkin and recent scandals involving the party. Polls show strong support for change as voters resist the Republican chaos.
👉 Join us on Saturday, August 23, from 4-5:30 pm for the Rockin’ Zoom Phone Bank, and again on Sunday, August 24, at the same time, to reach voters in Illinois’ three reddest districts.
No experience needed—training provided. Let’s show what our Midwest and West Coast teamwork can do!
