Action 1: Blue Beginnings Happy Hour 3/16
Blue Beginning, the Hideout-based chapter of Indivisible Chicago, invites you to an early evening of drinks, gossip, and schmoozing with political insiders and fellow activists. This month we’re handicapping the mayor’s race with Gregory Pratt, the Tribune’s man in City Hall, and Shia Kapos, author of the must-read Politico Illinois Playbook.

Action 2: Stop Letting Republicans Block Judges
Federal judges have an outsized impact on the execution of national policy. One conservative judge in the right position can completely block progress, or delay it enough to make it essentially useless. Biden has been nominating judges at a historic pace (with over 100 nominations already), but Senate Democrats are still handing significant power to Republicans to block confirmations through an archaic Senate rule called the “blue slip.” Unsurprisingly, Republicans did not follow this rule when they controlled the Senate under Trump. Some Democrats have recently signaled they’re open to eliminating this rule, something they have the power to do immediately.
Tell your Democratic senator to support ditching the “blue slip” today!
