Dear All,
This week, as demolition crews took down the East Wing of the White House, it felt like a metaphor: our democracy is being taken apart, piece by piece.
But here’s the thing about demolition—it clears the way for rebuilding. And that’s where we come in. Every phone call, postcard, rally, and conversation we have helps lay the foundation for something stronger and fairer. There is real power in collective action—and together, we’ve already proven that we can make an impact.
Read on for ways you can help rebuild: from upcoming actions to our next IndivisibleWin speaker.

The November 4 Election is just days away!
We can all make a difference and here's why it matters:
-
Virginia and NJ,: All statewide offices are up for election. The results will shape future policies and influence broader movements, as Virginia and NJ often serve as a testing ground for political strategies nationwide.
-
Pennsylvania Supreme Court: The court plays a crucial role in shaping key decisions on voting rights, election laws, and other issues that impact democracy.
-
Ballot Initiatives: Proposition 50 in California and the Maine voting rights. They both effect voting rights. These efforts are vital to defending democracy and fair representation amid ongoing threats nationwide.
