Democracy vs. dictatorship

Indivisible
The Supreme Court just made the stakes of this election even clearer.

Pamela,

Yesterday, the Supreme Court made the prospect of a second Trump presidency far more frightening. By granting presidents broad immunity for the acts they take in office, the MAGA majority on the Court isn't just helping Trump escape accountability for the crimes he's already committed. They're giving him free rein to rule as a dictator if he ever makes it back to the Oval Office.

We all saw Trump unleash a mob on the Capitol on January 6th and call for the Constitution to be suspended. He failed. But now he's pledging to take vengeance on his political rivals, weaponize the DOJ, and even use the military to quell peaceful dissent. According to the Supreme Court, the laws that apply to the rest of us likely wouldn't constrain him from doing so.

The stakes of this election were already massive. We all knew that. But we also know that a lot of people are having a hard time getting energized by the rematch at the top of the ticket. 

Well, this election is much bigger than Trump vs. Biden. This election is about whether future generations will have their most fundamental rights protected or stripped away by MAGA activists in robes. It's about the principle that no one is above the law. With yesterday's decision, it's clearer than ever this election is a choice between democracy and dictatorship. 

These are stakes we can -- and must -- energize voters around. If we can do that, we will win. We will have a chance to reform the filibuster. We will have a chance to pass voting rights and democracy reform, codify reproductive freedom, and unrig the Court. 

And no one's better prepared for this fight than Indivisibles. We have the volunteers, the winning strategy, and a track record of defeating MAGA up and down the ballot. With your help, we can do it again this November. So if you're able to donate, please chip in to make sure this movement has what it needs to win this election and defend our democracy.

As you're reading this, Indivisibles are already knocking on doors in every battleground state and district in the country using our groundbreaking Neighbor2Neighbor canvassing tool. We know ads and speeches aren't enough to energize voters around this fight. It'll take millions of one-on-one conversations, and there's no tool more effective for voter contact than Neighbor2Neighbor. And Indivisibles who live outside of our target districts are also mobilizing voters through phonebanks, textbanks, postcards, and volunteer recruitment. 

They're ready to do what it takes to defend our democracy, but they cannot do this work without your help. The number of voters we can reach between now and Election Day will depend on the support we receive from grassroots donors, so if you're able to donate and want to support the fight for our democracy, click here to pitch in.

There are no easy fixes here. There are no petitions that will undo what the Supreme Court's just done. The only way we can safeguard our democracy is to wake up the electorate, make the stakes clear to voters, and mobilize our neighbors. And with your help, that's exactly what we're going to do.

In solidarity,
Leah
