SUMMARY:Postcard Party
DESCRIPTION:Send hand-written postcards to voters in states that will play a key role in taking back Congress and in electing leaders who will fight back against the current authoritarian regime. Postcards educate voters\, urge them to register to vote\, and urge them to vote for specific candidates in special elections\, primaries\, and the November 2026 mid-term elections. Hand-written postcards have been proven in multiple studies to boost turnout enough to swing elections. Each packet of 15 postcards has everything you need\, and costs $10 to cover stamps and cards for those who can afford it. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nIt’s more fun to write together\, but if you can’t stay\, you can also stop by and pick up postcards to write at home.

SUMMARY:ICE OUT For Good Indivisible Phone Bank
DESCRIPTION:Masked federal agents are terrorizing our communities. They’re teargassing babies\, kidnapping our neighbors\, shooting clergy in the face with chemical projectiles\, and killing innocent people. \n\n\n\n\nGet Link\n\n\n\n\nBut right now\, we have an opportunity to rein in ICE at the federal level. ICE and Border Patrol are part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). DHS funding expires at midnight on Friday\, Jan. 30. Congress is currently negotiating how to fund DHS moving forward. Democrats met our first demand that DHS cannot be funded business as usual\, and now we need Republicans to join them in finding the political will to meet this moment. This is our opportunity to put significant restrictions on ICE and ensure it doesn’t get a single penny more to enable its brutality. \n\n\n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, February 3\, at 3 p.m. EST to call voters in key states and encourage them to call their Republican senators to demand that they rein in ICE’s terror tactics. \n\n\n\n(This event is presented by Indivisible Project.)
