📢 CALLS to ACTION

Urge Dems to Oppose the CLARITY Act — No democratic senator should be voting for legislation that further enables Donald Trump's corruption. You don't need to be an expert in crypto to understand why opposition to this bill is so important, but we do need to raise the temperature on this issue right now. Legislation is moving forward this month!
👉 Call and email our senators now, and check out the new film: Everyone is Lying to You for Money, streaming August 22.

Phone bank for Indivisible-endorsed candidates — find one that fits your schedule.
Tell Congress: Not One More Dime for Trump's Iran War
👉 Call your Senators and your Representative, and follow up by email.
- Help Defend Our Public Schools — The One Big Beautiful Bill created the first-ever nationwide federal private school voucher program, funneling billions in taxpayer dollars to private, mostly religious schools — with little accountability. Pro-public-education lawmakers are fighting to repeal the voucher program with the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act. Here's how you can help:

👉 Urge our members of Congress to Support the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act!

👉 Tell Congress to Stop the Dismantling of the Department of Education, including cuts to special ed, civil rights enforcement, and student loan programs that affect millions of families.

Missed the TPUSA protest on 6/16? You can still take action!
Turning Point USA — widely described as a Christian nationalist organization — held an Educators' Summit June 16—19 at the Marriott Lincolnshire resort in Lake County. Indivisible HP members joined NE Lake County Indivisible's Honk & Wave Protest on 6/16 to send a clear message that Turning Point is not welcome in our community!

Here's how you can help keep the pressure up: The Marriott Lincolnshire is privately owned and managed by the Bricton Group, led by CEO Ed Doherty. Join the effort to make sure Ed hears loud and clear: we don't want the Marriott Lincolnshire welcoming racist organizations like Turning Point USA to spread their message of hate and division.

👉 Contact Ed Doherty at Bricton Group by phone: (847) 698-3800.

If the mailbox is full, send a letter to:

Ed Doherty c/o Brichton Group
