FRIDAY RECAP: october 21, 2022
November’s elections will be a battle. The advantage polls gave Democrats early in the year has evaporated. Now, we fight for every vote. Pick a topic from those listed below and call your Members of Congress. You may know they already share your view but hearing from us gives them more resolve. If you don’t find something below to fight for, pick the things that you are most concerned about and tell your MOC about how you feel. Then work for it. Canvass. Phone. Join a group, like Indivisible Oregon or another, and write postcards and letters. Get involved. Republicans want to destroy democracy and create something that benefits white men or billionaires. We can’t let that happen. You can’t let that happen.
This week’s Daily Actions included:
october 17: ABORTION, THE FIRST RIGHT TO BE TAKEN — Indivisible Oregon
Three weeks before the midterm elections, President Biden reminded voters that Republicans want a national abortion ban. This election is about many issues, but abortion tells us everything we need to know about how Republicans will hide their positions and then impose the minority’s extreme views on us all. That’s not democracy. It’s fundamentally unAmerican. Volunteer and boost the Democrat of your choice. Check out Tuesday’s DA.
October 18: It Is Well Past Time for Marriage Equality
After Dobbs, it is more important than ever for Congress to protect our civil liberties and make marriage equality the law of the land. Make passing the Respect for Marriage Act (RMA) during the lame-duck session of Congress a top priority. Check out Wednesday’s DA.
October 19: REPUBLICANS ARE MORE LIKELY TO DIE FROM COVID
Covid savagely attacks unvaccinated adults, who are more likely to be Republicans. Data from the Centers for Disease Control also confirms that more White Americans now die from Covid than Black Americans, who were, at one time, three times more likely to die. The increasing threat, especially to White Republicans, is likely the result of the GOP’s campaign against government and experts while promoting what they sold as “individual choice.” We need to fight against lies for the lives of all Americans. Check out Thursday’s DA.
Oct. 17: ABORTION, THE FIRST RIGHT TO BE TAKEN — Indivisible Oregon
