Action 1: Indivisible’s Strategy for Fighting Trump 2.0
Our movement began as a means to stop the Trump agenda. We succeeded and we will do it again.
Democracy is in grave peril but not lost. This election is catastrophic, but democracy does not get decided in one election. Had we won, democracy would not have been saved. After losing, democracy isn’t gone.
We will come together. We will fight back. We will forge a path forward.

Action 2: MORE Ballot Cure Phone Banks
Let’s be frank: We’re exhausted. But there are close, winnable races in the House and Senate, across the country, that still haven’t been called and will decide the balance of power in Congress.
Senate control has already tipped to Republicans. But, there’s a real difference between a one seat Republican majority and a three seat majority (remember when John McCain “saved” Obamacare?). If we can win even one more seat, it could be the exact defense we need against Trump’s horrific appointments.
The House is still in play. We don’t yet know the fate of the House, and we likely won’t have a full picture for a while. We do know that it is going to be incredibly close. If we can flip the House, we hold a bulwark against the MAGA agenda.
So, we need to make sure every vote is counted. The next few days are going to be a frantic sprint to ensure every Democratic vote is tallied in these razor-thin margins through ballot curing.
In every election, thousands of mail-in ballots are left uncounted because of an error or inconsistency that flags them as invalid (think their signature doesn’t match). In an effort to make sure every vote is counted, state and party officials try to track these people down in order to rectify those mistakes, this is referred to as ballot curing. Volunteers often help contact those voters.
Here’s where you can get to work on some of the closest outstanding races:
