Minuteman Muster                    March 15, 2021 Carolyn Bourdeaux, a Minuteman Indivisible-backed candidate in 2020, was the only Democrat to flip a RED district to BLUE in last fall's elections. Republicans are coming after her in a big way, and she needs our continuing support. Please join Carolyn and special guest Hakeem Jeffries for a discussion of the opportunities and challenges ahead. The New Georgia Project Action Fund has launched a campaign to send emails to the CEOs of the corporations that support voting rights in their commercials, but that have also given to GOP legislators that support voter suppression bills.  Simply complete the form HERE and CEOs of several Georgia corporations including Coca Cola, UPS, and Home Depot will get the letter instantly! You don't need to be a Georgia resident. NGPAF is also holding text banks to ask Georgia residents to contact these corporations and their state officials. Get more details HERE. Rep Chrissy Houlahan ( PA-06) fundraiser with Katherine Clark Monday, March 29 at 5 pm Chrissy was a Minuteman Indivisible-supported candidate in 2018 when she flipped PA-06 blue. Chrissy is the real deal -- an Air Force veteran, a scientist, an inner city science teacher, and an entrepreneur. She serves on the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Small Business. Early money is so critical to campaigns like Chrissy’s as a strong showing early on can discourage challengers from entering.  And as you all know, every seat is critical to hold in 2022 -- losing just five seats would lose us the House Majority. The event is on Zoom on Monday 3/29 at 5 pm.   RSVP Texting Opportunities See the Minuteman Indivisible home page for an updated list of current opportunities to send text messages about key issues to voters. Movement Labs, MoveOn, and Working Families all have campaigns running now. Postcard Opportunity There is a competitive race in Texas’ 6th Congressional District and we may be able to turn this seat BLUE.  Democrats in Texas are outnumbered by Republicans and they need all the help that they can get from activists in other states.   Why is this race important?  The Democrats have only a very tiny margin of control in the House.  The Republicans are organizing to re-take the House next year.  If we can build the Democratic majority by a few seats in 2021, it will strengthen our position as we enter 2022. This postcard campaign is operated by Flip the West, a strong progressive partner in 2020.  They have created a Covid-Friendly process that allows you to obtain your mailing addresses from the Internet so that you can work from home.   The information can be obtained by clicking on the link below.

We discussed a wide range of issues and challenges and agreed to focus in three areas: Voting rights, voter protection, and voter registration Elections, with a focus on 2022 Senate and Congressional races at the national level Key legislative issues, especially developing our relationship with Rep. Katherine Clark In order to move forward in these key areas, several people stepped forward to organize meetings to address each one of those initiatives. To facilitate our work, we encourage everyone to join the Minuteman Indivisible Slack Workgroup. Link to join.

Use Relational Organizing to Support HR1 and HR51 Our Members of Congress support the democracy reforms of HR1 - For the People Act and HR51 - Statehood for DC. We need these robust reforms to target voter suppression, gerrymandering, money in politics and to gain full representation for all Americans! Without a functional democracy, we cannot achieve the many other progressive goals we would like to see. Relational organizing means that if each of us uses our own personal contacts we might be able to promote these bills in other states! Please encourage all of your friends, family and contacts in other states to use this handy Indivisible tool to be connected to their Members of Congress! So take a moment to reconnect with loved ones far away and save democracy at the same time!
