Help Flip NY-19
No Valentine's Day plans? Invite friends/family/neighbors over to participate in a voter-to-voter letter-writing project to oust Republican Rep. John Faso from New York's 19th Congressional District. (Rom-coms and Valentine's Day candy are optional.) Faso won the last election by only 26,000 votes, so the bigger the turnout, the better. We did this project in last week's Indivisible UES meeting. Get more how-to info by signing up with opposition organizers NY 19 Votes.

Weekly Impeach Protest: Trump Degrades Women
Trump Building
40 Wall Street, b/t. Nassau St./Broad St. & William St..
5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
Just when you think Trump can't get worse, he does. Last week, the self-proclaimed sexual assaulter took his war on women to the next level by defending wife-beating staffer Rob Porter. Join activist group Rise and Resist at its weekly impeach protest. There's a different theme and location every week. Rise and Resist will have signs, but if you want to use my own eye-catching "Pussy Grabs Back" sign, you can download it and print it from here.

Use ResistBot to Contact Your Senators
ResistBot is an incredibly easy and effective way to stay in close contact with your elected officials. It's available 24/7, nationwide. All you need is a cell phone. Text the word "RESIST" to 50409, and the bot will guide you through the rest. Tell your senators, representative, and/or governor what's on your mind. Then share ResistBot information with everyone you know, whether that's via Facebook, Twitter, email, and in-person. This is something people can do on their lunch break, on the train to work, at 2 a.m., while walking the dog -- it's that simple. Just don't do it while you're driving, please.

Fundraiser for IDC Challenger
Brooklyn SolarWorks
200 6th Street, Floor 3
Brooklyn
2 p.m. - 4 p.m.
At our meetings, we've spoken a lot about the Independent Democratic Conference -- the gang of eight New York State senators who run as Democrats but vote for the Republican agenda, making it impossible for any progressive legislation to pass the state senate. Indivisible Brooklyn Do or Die is hosting a fundraiser for Zellnor Myrie, who is running against IDC member Jessie Hamilton. Myrie is a lawyer who has done pro bono work for Legal Aid. He supports affordable housing, immigrants' rights, fully funding public education, women's reproductive rights, criminal justice reform, and environmental justice. Can't make it to Brooklyn? Donate to Myrie here. You can't campaign without money.
