Remembrance & Hope
Today we remember MLK's legacy and celebrate hope -- hope that, working together in service to our shared community, we can move forward with new leadership to create a more racially, economically, and environmentally just society. Join us in a day of service (in-person or remote), a week celebrating hope, and our on-going advocacy for justice.
Victory Isn’t Just the Election. It’s the Legislation.
The voters delivered a slim trifecta to Democrats. Making good on the winners’ legislative promises is possible only if the Senate ends the filibuster. Democrats need only 51 votes and some parliamentary maneuvering.
CONGRESS MUST PROTECT US FROM TREASON AND COVID
Amid a global pandemic and under the siege of a fascist president and Republican party, we organized and voted in a democratic President, Vice President, House, and Senate. We organized to fight back against white supremacy, fascism, Trump, and his GOP. Now we must work to help Congress protect our democracy and protect us from COVID.
THE TIME FOR DC STATEHOOD IS NOW
The city of Washington was, and is, endangered by violent white supremacists. Last week, unlike state governors, Mayor Bowser was forced to plead with the Pentagon to use DC’s own National Guard to defend the Capitol. Republicans oppose statehood for the same reason they support gerrymandering. It’s voter suppression of American citizens in a largely Black city. And it’s a willingness to leave that city vulnerable to violence in order to maintain that suppression.
POLICE RACISM IN RESPONSE TO WHITE INSURRECTIONISTS
Today we are asking Congress to remove the seditionists, including more than 100 House Republicans; fight voter suppression ; and root out police racism. Details below.
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ATTEMPTED COUP IS PREREQUISITE FOR STRENGTHENING DEMOCRACY
To ensure no repeat of Wednesday’s attempted coup, Congress must demand accountability for all colluders and enact legislation precluding such behavior.
ALL ATTEMPTING OR ENABLING THE ELECTION’S OVERTHROW MUST BE PUNISHED
Georgia’s election of two Democratic Senators yesterday should have been a time for celebrating. Instead, we saw a Trump-incited attempted coup abetted by GOP co-conspirators—by a rioting mob of white supremacist terrorists and by members of Congress—both trying to overturn the election.
It’s Time to Heal AND Strengthen Our Democracy
We deserve elected officials who care about democracy. Trump and his GOP commit treason and sedition to hold on to minority rule. There must be consequences for this treason now.
THERE MUST BE CONSEQUENCES FOR TREASON

OUR NEXT JOB, BUILDING A BETTER AMERICA
It’s time to start building a better country. It will require work in three areas simultaneously: Reinforcing democracy, dismantling racism, and revitalizing the American community. We’ve learned over these last four years that democracy needs constant attention from us. Fighting Trump is ending, but our work to build a better country is just beginning. Call and enlist your MOC in building a better America.
MOVING FORWARD
As we move into a new year and a new Administration there’s much to feel hopeful about. More Americans are getting vaccinated every day. We can work for an end to medical racism that has caused COVID to ravage Black communities. A COVID relief bill was finally passed. At the same time, Trump is pardoning criminals who lied and obstructed justice on his behalf. He is encouraging violence, and his seditious supporters are attempting a coup. We can demand a more robust relief bill and accountability.
AS 2020 DRAWS TO A CLOSE...
The policy team will be taking a much-needed rest from December 25th through January 1st. During this interlude Indivisible Oregon will continue to provide opportunities for election work in GA to flip the Senate blue. And Indivisible maintains a website where you can record your COVID-19 stories and our MoCs can listen to how their constituents have been affected.
TO STOP TRUMP’S SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AND ENSURE THE PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER, HE MUST BE IMPEACHED AND REMOVED
Trump’s been assaulting our system of government for years. His efforts to overturn the election have become ever more egregious. The next Congress must reclaim its oversight role, investigating Trump’s abuses. This Congress must ensure a peaceful transfer of power by impeaching and removing him.
THANKS AND KEEP FIGHTING FOR MORE COVID RELIEF
Congress’s Covid-19 relief bill will certainly help, but it’s late and far too limited to stop the damage sweeping across the country. We need to thank Democrats for the best parts of the bill, and ask them to keep fighting for more generous relief.
