Hello Indivisibles,
We’ve had quite a week! We are deeply moved by the millions of people across the country who poured into the streets on April 5th to send a strong ‘HANDS OFF’ message. An estimated 15,000, including our group, convened in Philly to march down Market Street. It was a peaceful day of solidarity, and we look forward to doing it again! Please join our upcoming in-person events to view some of the best rally photos.
We know that many of our members are planning on joining the 50501 protests on 4/19. We support these efforts, but IMCPANF is focused on our pre-planned events taking place during the April recess (see events below).We promise that we will march together again soon!
Marina Butler of Turn PA Blue will join us on Sunday for our in-person meeting. Please note: our meeting has reached full capacity for in-person attendance. We will provide a Zoom option for listening only (we will do everything we can to ensure adequate volume for streaming). We look forward to seeing all of you and providing updates on our efforts!
We'd also like to wish a Happy Passover to our members celebrating this week. We are together with you during this time of reflection and renewal!

Indivisible National Calls to Action To-Do List:
URGENT AGENT REGARDING THE SAVE ACT– THEY ARE VOTING THIS WEEK…
Call Your representative: Help block Republicans from disenfranchising millions of voters with their “Silencing Americans Act." This week, we expect the House to vote on H.R. 22 -- one of the biggest threats to voting rights we’ve seen in a generation. You may know this bill as the “SAVE Act” but we are calling it by a more accurate title -- the “Silencing Americans Act.” The bill requires voters to show proof of citizenship documents that match their current legal name -- something tens of millions of Americans simply don’t have. It’d cause massive challenges for married women and trans and nonbinary people who’ve changed their names, and disproportionately impact people of color. Visit our website for more information on this bill and Trump’s related Executive Order.
Hold the Trump administration accountable for its jaw-dropping national security meltdown over Signal. Following the real-time leaking of war plans to a journalist over Signal, far too many members of Congress -- including Democrats -- are continuing on with business as usual. Hours after the story broke, a considerable number of Senate Democrats helped confirm another one of Trump’s nominees! Instead of enabling an administration that’s endangering us all, Dems need to fight back. Check out our explainer for more info on the scandal and ways you can push Congress to respond.
Thanks for your great efforts. Keep up the great work, and be safe!
Cait, Dean, Karen, and Kelly
