Time to make calls!
3.10.25
Democrats in Washington can slow things down and make them harder, but have little leverage to make things STOP. This week is an exception, because Democrats will have leverage, allowing them to negotiate - but only if they use that leverage. That’s where you come in.
We need everyone to call their Members of Congress this week, every day with one simple demand:
The debt ceiling will need to be raised by the end of this week. I’m asking the [Senator/Congressperson] to withhold his vote unless Democrats secure a clean Continuing Resolution that includes the following:
· No cuts to essential programs
· No “poison pill” riders that attack basic freedoms
· Ironclad protections to stop Trump and Musk from hijacking federal spending and bypassing Congress

Extra Credit
Call Your Senators and House Rep and maybe these at-risk Republicans
Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is ______.
I’m calling because I am horrified by the Trump Administration’s cuts to the NIH. These cuts are a major attack on our nation’s scientific medical research program, which has been, until now, one of the best in the world. I’m told that NIH is basically frozen right now - they are not receiving grants even though courts have said the Executive Orders against them were illegal. Career scientists are being fired. NIH staff is not communicating with scientists. Our ability to do cutting-edge medical research is under major threat. If career scientists and NIH staff leave now that will be decades of experience that we can never get back. Funding science has always been a non-partisan endeavor; the refusal to fund it is just plain dumb. Congress needs to get this funding restored now, please!

What’s the Plan? A Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s Co-Founders
Thu, Mar 13, 2025 12:00pm - 1:00pm | US/Pacific
Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: What’s the Plan? A Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s Co-Founders.. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back. The antidote: Coming together in the community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back.
Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin each week, as we carve out an hour to discuss what’s happening and – more importantly – what’s the plan.
