Action 1: Demand a Permanent Ceasefire
The ongoing Israeli bombardment and blockade in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of over 31,000 Palestinians, including more than 12,300 children, with 1.5 million people displaced in unimaginable conditions. One quarter of all Gazans, more than 570,000 people, are “one step away from famine”, according to the UN. Children are already dying of malnutrition, and many more will die if Isreal does not allow more aid to enter the country and continues shooting at Palestinians trying to collect food.
We understand that our members and those who share our progressive values may have different and deeply held views about the Middle East. At the same time, we are united by our shared humanity.
We urge our members of Congress to support an immediate ceasefire, 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. Please join us by contacting your Representative, and Senators Duckworth and Durbin with these same demands. Call them daily—it makes a difference!
Senator Duckworth | DC: 202-224-2854 | Chicago 312-886-3506 | Email Sen. Duckworth or call another office
Senator Durbin | DC: 202-224-2152 | Chicago 312-353-4952 | Email Sen. Durbin or call another office
Action 2: Learn How to Register Wisconsin Voters
Here’s a great way to increase Dem turnout in Wisconsin. The Milwaukee Voter Project (MVP) is a grassroots group of non-partisan volunteers who work to ensure that all citizens, especially those in underserved communities, are registered to vote and aware of upcoming elections. They register voters in warm, indoor offices (DMVs) in Milwaukee’s disadvantaged neighborhoods. The people there have their IDs with them and time on their hands as they wait in lines, so a 3-hour shift can be quite productive. This has been a very successful program and rightfully popular with Indivisible Chicagoans.
The first step is to attend a simple one-hour Zoom training:
Wednesday, March 20 at 7:00pm - 8:00pm
Monday, March 25 at 1:30pm - 2:30pm
Interested? Send an email to info@milwaukeevoterproject.org.
While some of these Daily Actions come from our own work as Indivisible Chicago Alliance, others are from our many partners working to advance the progressive agenda. We invite you to join us in supporting their work. Postings from partners do not imply Indivisible Chicago Alliance endorsement of specific policies and positions.
