Actions You Can Take
Action 1: Take action after the Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling
Action 2: TONIGHT - Tuesday night postcard party in Lincoln Square
Action 1: Supreme Court Presidential Immunity Ruling
Yesterday the Supreme Court, having injected itself unnecessarily into the issue of Presidential immunity, has further undermined our country and our system of laws, while ensuring there will be no verdict in the January 6th case prior to the Nov 5 election.
The Supreme Court has given Trump the thing he craves most--time. Sending the immunity case back to the DC district court intentionally keeps the American people in the dark about whether a jury of our peers would have found Trump guilty of fomenting the Jan 6th attack on our nation.
This ruling also opens the possibility of an unleashed Trump in a second term with the prospect of appointing two justices. This is why Indivisible Chicago is committed to protecting our country's future and providing ways activists can get involved to work against a Trump return to the White House.

Action 2: Tuesday Night Postcard Party 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.
