8/5/25 Newsletter - Don’t stop pushing back
STRONGER TOGETHER
Republicans are bracing for backlash.
They ultimately know what Trump is doing is not supported by the majority of Americans. The Big Ugly Bill is just that and Republican congresspeople are hearing from their constituents.
If you’re the GOP, one reasonable response to voter anger at your right-wing agenda and incompetent governance would be moderation and contrition. Trump and the Texas Republicans are not choosing remorse or moderation - they are choosing to rig the rules ahead of the next election to prevent too many losses. Trump told the Texas GOP to take an already-gerrymandered state and gerrymander it more.
But the Texas Democrats are fighting back.
They are breaking quorum. It works like this: If more than ⅓ of Texas legislators refuse to show up for votes, they freeze all legislative activity. So far, it's working. And in other states, Democrats are starting to fight fire with fire by proposing their own new maps.
The next national protest!

This Week's Actions
If red state Republicans rig the midterms by redrawing their maps to steal seats, blue state Dems must even the playing field by responding in kind. Use Indivisible national's tools to demand that Democratic governors and legislators act now.
2 - We are in the initial planning stages of our own local non-cooperative campaigns.
One Million Rising is teaching Indivisible Nevada County about creating some new localized campaigns to show our resistance to the Trump regime. Stay tuned for news about an upcoming meeting. And attend the next National virtual meeting on Wed, August 13, 5pm PT. RSVP HERE.
2 - Email our Congresspeople to call for an end to Netanyahu's intentional starving of Gaza.
Trump acknowledges widespread starvation in Gaza but hasn’t acted to address it. Members of Congress from both parties must force the issue, with demands to lift aid restrictions and allow trusted third parties to distribute food. Here are scripts and access to email addresses.
