Indivisible Launches “For The People Project” Campaign for Democracy Reforms

Following the release of its second grassroots activist guide, Indivisible: A Practical Guide to Fixing our Democracy, which highlighted democracy reform as top priority for the organization, Indivisible announced the launch of its For The People Project, a campaign to push key senators and members of Congress forward on critical reforms: D.C. statehood; H.R. 1, the For The People Act; H.R. 4, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act; and, elimination of the filibuster. 

Give DC Statehood

The introduction of S. 51, the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, reflects the growing support across the country to end the disenfranchisement of the district's 700,000 residents. In addition to being a critical democracy reform, D.C. statehood is also a racial justice issue. Historically, conservative politicians have prevented D.C. from becoming a state to prevent D.C.’s black residents from building or wielding their political power. It’s past time to give district residents a voice in Congress and the power to govern its own affairs.

Indivisible on the Historic Second Impeachment of Donald Trump

Donald Trump is an existential threat to our country. He has directly attacked our democracy and must be removed from office immediately. The attack of 1/6/2021 is just another chapter in an excruciatingly long novel titled ‘Why Trump is Unfit for Public Office.’ The Senate should return immediately to convict and remove him.

Indivisible on the Passage of the Raskin Resolution

We applaud the House of Representatives for passing tonight’s resolution calling for Vice President Mike Pence and the cabinet to invoke their powers under the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and immediately remove Donald Trump from office. But even after last week’s deadly coup attempt where a mob, at Trump’s urging, stormed the Capitol with intentions of causing life-threatening harm to Members of Congress and the Vice President himself, we do not expect Pence to finally do the right thing for our country and stand up to his boss.

Indivisible: Impeach, Remove, and Disqualify

We simply cannot just wait for Trump to leave office as his threat level to our democracy continues to increase. The House of Representatives must draw up articles of impeachment immediately, move quickly to vote on them, and send them to the Senate for a speedy trial, where Trump must be convicted and disqualified from ever holding federal office again.
