We need to pass S1 and stop the filibuster. And do it now. Otherwise, our progressive agenda is dead in the water.

Arizona Senator Sinema is refusing to go along. So, we’re going to call people in Arizona, have them contact her, and insist that she stand with democracy, not Mitch McConnell.

Sign up here to make calls with us. We will start with a brief training, so no worries if you're new to phone banking!

NYS CLIMATE BALLOT INITIATIVE

We all know there’s an election coming soon. But, did you know there will also be a climate ballot initiative? I confess I didn’t!

A coalition of Indivisibles and other groups is working to get out the news about this. The goal is to guarantee clean air and water for all New Yorkers. More details here.

We know you have a strong interest in environmental issues, so we’d like one or two people to help out on this and spread the word.

Hit reply to join up and save the planet. Since there’s no Planet B.
