Action 1: Meet Two Illinois Supreme Court Candidates on 8/30
Reproductive freedom in Illinois has not been at such great risk since the pre-Roe days, and if we lose just one of the Illinois Supreme Court seats we will lose our pro-choice majority. Given this bleak reality, we’re co-hosting Jane’s Army upcoming event to help ensure that pro-choice voters turn out this election.
Tune in to hear from two candidates for the IL Supreme Court - Judge Mary Kay O’Brien & Judge Elizabeth Rochford - and organizers from Jane’s Army to learn more about what the stakes are this November, why we need to elect these two progressive candidates, and how you can plug into the work!

Action 2: Phone Banks This Week!
There are THREE opportunities to phone bank this week to help build our 2022 progressive coalition!
TOMORROW - Tuesday Phone Bank for Lauren Underwood at 6 p.m. We backed Lauren Underwood in her first run for Congress, in 2018, and since the she has been making us proud and impressing her constituents. But her district has been redrawn to include many voters who are not familiar with her accomplishments. And the the Rs will be coming after her this fall with all the dark money and name-calling they can muster. Help us get her story out in our weekly phone bank.
Wisconsin Wednesday Phone Bank at 4 p.m. We've teamed up with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin (WisDems) to re-elect Governor Tony Evers--our last defense against Republican election treachery-- and to help Mandela Barnes unseat the eminently unseatable Senator Ron Johnson. Our careful training and extensive background resources attract volunteers from all over the country. Join us!
Saturday, August 13 at 4 p.m. (Indivisible Illinois-sponsored) We'll be phone-bank partying every Saturday until the Saturday before the November election for candidates like Lauren Underwood, Cindy Cunningham, and Debbie Davis.
