While we hope that many have been able to take time off to enjoy the summer before it’s gone, we are all very much aware that the Primary is around the corner and Election Day not far behind! We thank those who were able to attend “Good Trouble Lives On” held July 17 in remembrance of Congressman John Lewis.* With what Congressman Lewis stood for and what is ahead of us all, we ask you to do two things:
1.Mark SEPTEMBER 26 on your calendar to help GET OUT THE VOTE with us at the NORTH QUINCY LIBRARY 2-4pm (Save October 17 too, currently planned at the Thomas Crane Public Library that day). Details on the way!
2..Check out some of these important “to-dos” just shared with Indivisibles across the nation
from INDIVISIBLE…
WEDNESDAY (8pm ET/5pm PT): Join our first national Hands Off Our Vote election protection training to learn how YOU can help protect democratic elections from sabotage by the Trump regime. Protecting the midterms will require a trained, informed citizenry dedicated to defending our sacred right to vote and mobilizing to ensure that every vote is counted. If you’re ready to step up, join our first training this Wednesday where we’ll cover specific things you can do RIGHT NOW to help ensure all eligible voters can cast their ballots. We know this fight isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we’ll provide ways you can shape those actions to your local needs and capacity -- whether you’re an individual, a group member, or a group leader, you’ll leave the training with action items to start making an impact right away.
Join our Immigrant Justice Summer call this Thursday to learn how to get your community trained up to respond if an ICE surge hits (8pm ET/5pm PT). When ICE shows up in our neighborhoods, it's crucial that we have a grounded system to channel information, resources, and people to power the local response. In these inherently chaotic moments, we’ll talk about how we establish and share trusted sources of information to help protect community members and funnel people into coordinated, strategic action.
Delete the DoorDash App until they stop fighting to give Trump more control over the District of Columbia. DoorDash has stood silently by while ICE detains and murders their delivery drivers. They said nothing when Trump flooded DC streets with the National Guard. But now, DoorDash has voiced their support for HR 9720, a bill that would give Trump more authority over DC and its residents, all so they can kill a 20-cent tax on delivery orders they don’t like (and which actually supports food stability programs). No matter where you live, you can have an impact by deleting your account until they meet the conditions laid out below….
Good News for a Change
Last Monday, Gov. Maura Healey signed a bill into law that expands access to abortion care in Massachusetts. The law removes some previous abortion restrictions on the books and will ensure that patients facing serious pregnancy complications will no longer have to leave the Commonwealth to access care.
In a post-Roe landscape, strengthening abortion access and removing barriers to care remains crucial, particularly after Todd Blanche was confirmed as Attorney General. On a private call with faith leaders before his confirmation vote, Blanche claimed that he was working with the White House and federal health agencies to make Dobbs -- the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe -- “permanent in every state.” Blanche also committed to prioritizing putting restrictions on abortion pills via telehealth prescriptions.
Massachusetts’ new law keeps abortion decisions between patients and doctors and rejects the GOP’s willful disinformation about later abortion care. As Trump, Blanche, and state legislatures around the country attempt to further restrict abortion, Massachusetts will remain a beacon for Bay Staters and patients traveling from states where abortion is criminalized or illegal alike…
