Partner Action: Defending Democracy in the Redistricting Arms Race Virtual Panel TODAY
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 are 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.
Democracy rests on fair representation. Let’s examine what states like California and Illinois can do collectively and creatively to counter authoritarian gerrymandering and protect every vote.
👉 Join the virtual panel TONIGHT!

Partner Action: Demand General Access to Updated COVID Vaccines
The Department of HHS has signaled that they will only approve updated COVID vaccinations for people 65+ or those who can prove they have high-risk underlying conditions, or potentially pull it off the market completely. This new guidance is part of Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s effort to reshape America’s health policy. Kennedy, a long-time anti-vaccine advocate, has questioned vaccine safety repeatedly.
The FDA and HHS should follow the science, but instead are putting public health at risk.
👉 Citizens must demand their representatives oppose this anti-science guidance.
Contact Senator Durbin at 312-353-4952 or at other numbers listed here
Contact Senator Duckworth at 312-886-3506 or at other numbers listed here
Script: Hello, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I’m calling to ask [REP/SEN NAME] to speak out against decisions by the FDA to limit updated COVID vaccines to certain age or risk groups, or to pull the vaccine off the market. The FDA and HHS should follow the science, not play with the health and safety of the American public. [OPTIONAL: Give a reason you want a COVID booster this year]
