Your weekly To-Dos from Indivisible

1. Join our rapid response call this Wednesday at 8:30pm ET / 5:30pm PT to prepare for a potential Trump Shutdown. If Republicans force a shutdown, we’ll need to act fast to hold them accountable, so we plan to convene with national partners to lay out a strong grassroots response. Join us, and read more on the funding fight below.

2. Call your Democratic senator(s) to stiffen their spines in the Trump Shutdown showdown. With a huge government funding deadline looming, we need to remind our Democratic senators that we expect them to hold their ground -- not roll over like last time.

3. Volunteer for a virtual phonebank to help Dems win big in Virginia this fall. We’re making 1,000,000 calls to voters to help VA Democrats build a vital defense against Trump’s authoritarian overreach -- a Democratic trifecta in his own backyard! All you need is your phone and a computer. Join a live phonebank training here.

4. Find a No Kings protest near you on October 18. With nearly 2,000 events already on the map, we’re on pace to make October 18 our biggest day of action yet -- and it couldn’t come at a more important moment. Pick a protest to join, and help us make No Kings historic!

5. Sign up for a powerful discussion about how teachers defend truth, combat disinformation, and protect democracy. Be part of American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten’s virtual chat on the importance of educators in the fight for democracy at her talk Frontline in the Fight: Why Fascists Fear Teachers.

6. Join a special shutdown showdown edition of “What’s the Plan?” this Thursday. As they do each week, our co-founders, Leah and Ezra, will go live at 3pm ET this Thursday to break down the news and answer your questions directly! This week, they plan to hone in on the federal funding fight.
