Action 1: Investigate SCOTUS Corruption
Recently, there have been reports of two separate incidents where Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito flew flags indicating support for the January 6 insurrection above his homes. He was displaying his loyalty to the MAGA Movement for his whole neighborhood to see at the same time that the Supreme Court was considering whether or not to take up Trump’s election challenge lawsuit. And now, the Supreme Court is about to release decisions on two more cases related to January 6, including whether or not Trump has immunity for his role in inciting the whole thing.
It’s clear that Alito cannot be a fair and impartial arbiter of the law. In fact, our democracy is in danger the longer he is on the bench. He cannot be allowed to rule on any cases related to Trump – especially if there’s an election challenge that makes it to the Court this November.
We need Senator Durbin, as chair of the Judiciary Committee, to lead an investigation to hold Alito accountable. But he’s already said that he won’t pursue an investigation. That’s unacceptable – he must step up and do his job.
Fill out this form right now and to email Senator Durbin. Let him know that you’re outraged by the corruption on the Supreme Court and that you expect him to do his job and thoroughly investigate the corruption on the Supreme Court.

Action 2: Postcard Party Kickoff TONIGHT
Come enjoy the camaraderie of writing postcards to voters in swing states with fellow Indivisible Chicago activists.
We're back at the Gideon Welles pub in Lincoln Square every Tuesday evening from 6:30 to 8:00pm, writing postcards to get our voters to the polls in November.
If you can sign up in advance, it helps us let our GW hosts know how many people to expect, but last-minute walk-ins are always welcome.
Feel free to bring your own postcards if you've already ordered them from Postcards to Swing States, or just show up and we'll provide you with postcards, scripts, address lists, and pens.
Donations are welcome, either monetary or in the form of postcard stamps. We look forward to seeing you there!
Other ways to obtain postcards
If you’d like to write postcards on your own or host your own gatherings, go to www.turnoutpac.org/postcards, click on “Sign up for postcards,” complete your order and you’ll be mailed your free postcards along with messages to write and voter lists. (Note: If you enter “Indivisible Chicago” to the optional question on the form, “Are you ordering for a grassroots group?”, we can also let you know when postcard parties are scheduled nearby. Postcards will be provided at the parties or you can bring the postcards you’ve ordered.)
Indivisible Evanston is also distributing postcards for the Postcards to Swing State Campaigns. There are two pickup locations in Evanston, one in Deerfield and one in Buffalo Grove. Sign up here.
Postcard writers are responsible for providing the postcard stamps (currently 53 cents), handwriting a short message and addressing the cards. The instructions include a specific mailing date in October, so you have until then to write the postcards.
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.
