Action 1: Michigan Monday and Thursday Phone Banks
Join us in making calls to voters in the critical battleground state of Michigan. We’re fighting to make sure Michigan’s 15 electoral votes remain a solid piece of the Midwest Blue Wall that will turn back Trump and the MAGA Republicans.
Indivisible Chicago high-impact phone banks attract people from all over the country—volunteers who tell us they appreciate our thorough training, individual attention, and the camaraderie that develops in our Zoom rooms, where we learn from and encourage each other.
We'll give you the training and background you need on the super-easy auto dialer we use to connect callers quickly with voters. And our experienced moderators will stay connected with you throughout the phone bank to answer your questions and troubleshoot any difficulties.
Sign up and we'll send you the Zoom link to connect to the phone bank and background information you'll need to make calls.
Action 2: No More U.S. Weapons Used on Civilians in Palestine and Lebanon
Indivisible Chicago urges our members of Congress to support an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, to ensure humanitarian aid to residents of Gaza, to continue to demand the release of all hostages, and to block US military aid to Israel that would cause additional civilian deaths in Gaza.
As the situation in Gaza worsens and civilian deaths climb well over 40,000, the conflict in the region has widened to Lebanon. At least 1,400 Lebanese have been killed, including civilians, medics and Hezbollah fighters, and 1.2 million driven from their homes in the past few weeks.
The situation in the region is undoubtably complex, but one thing is clear: Israel continues to use U.S.-provided weapons to kill thousands of civilians and displace millions more.
At least three Illinois members of the US House (Rep Jonathan Jackson, Rep Delia Ramirez, Rep Chuy Garcia) have issued statements calling for the United States to end military funding to the Israeli government. Let's call on all our elected members of Congress to act.
Phone our two Illinois senators and your own congressman/congresswoman and tell them that the United States must stop providing military aid for the Israeli government to use against civilians.
