---------------------------------

GET OUT THE VOTE (GOTV)
Getting out the vote for state legislative offices is by far the most critical action we can take. We have already learned that the states can and are passing draconian anti-abortion laws. This November could conceivably be the last election when the will of the people in red states can determine their laws, such as US Congressional members, governorships, state legislators…and thereby laws against abortion, gun, LGBT, contraception, and more.

The Supreme Court will be ruling in its next session on a case that would give state legislatures the power to overturn the popular vote, but it doesn’t usually make its final rulings until the end of its session, in late spring or early summer. We need to get out the vote before then.

Write letters and postcards
-Indivisible Upper East Side will be resuming its social gatherings (in person or virtual, depending on the state of Covid) soon, so stay tuned.
-Write letters with Vote Forward: Download letters and add a personal paragraph saying why voting is important to you.

Chat with Senator Schumer about gun control, women’s rights, and urge President Biden to cancel student debt

CANCEL STUDENT DEBT
The student debt crisis has spiraled out of control so that now, nearly 45 million people owe more than $1.8 trillion in student debt. This is unsustainable.

Rep. Mondaire Jones (NY-17) has written a letter urging President Biden not to include means-testing, income caps, or other restrictions that would make relief harder to access. Call Rep. Maloney and make sure she agrees and signs on.
