From Indivisible:
We launched the new Indivisible Guide last night: Indivisible: A Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink.
We had 50k people who picked themselves off the floor after an election that ripped our hearts out and registered for the launch call last night with me, Leah, and Sen. Warren. It was awesome. You can watch the recording here if you missed it.
The bottom line is this: Trump wants us to believe he’s all-powerful. He’s not. The original Indivisible Guide focused entirely on Congress. That’s only part of the fight against Trump 2.0. The new guide aims to be as practical as the original, but we widen the scope to include what you can do in cities and states where you have leverage. If we all play our part, we can harness backlash to the horror that’s coming. We can limit harm and break the back of MAGA in the elections to come. We can survive to fight another day.
In a recent interview, the historian of authoritarianism and author of On Tyranny, Timothy Snyder, noted about the moment we’re in: “They want you to be alone. Nobody is going to fix this alone. That’s not how this works.” There’s a role for all of us -- some will play defense, some play offense -- but it all comes down to getting organized in our local groups. Individually, we’re alone and powerless; together, we have power.
So I’m going to ask you to do 3 things:
- Read it.
- Share it.
- For those already in a local group, let us know you want new members. For those not in a group, let us know, and we’ll help you find one near you or start one.
