Washington, DC — Today, Indivisible National Advocacy Director Andrew O’Neill released the following statement on the Senate’s passage of Trump’s Tax Scam:
“Senate Republicans have once again shown us exactly who they answer to–and it’s not working people. With this vote, they’re tearing away health care, food assistance, and long-term care from millions, just to bankroll another round of tax breaks for billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.
“Under this bill, seniors will lose nursing home care, kids will lose free school lunches, and families will see costs soar–all so Trump’s wealthy friends can splurge on yachts and rocket ships. This isn’t a budget. It’s an attack.
“Republicans know exactly how deeply unpopular this is back home–but they did it anyway because Trump demanded it. Republicans must be held accountable for every single person turned away from life-saving healthcare, every hungry child, and every struggling family. Every single one of them was the deciding vote. We will not let them hide away from this disastrous scam.
“House Republicans will now face a test of if they are more loyal to Trump or to their constituents. This fight isn’t over, and we’re not backing down.”
HOW THE INDIVISIBLE MOVEMENT HAS FOUGHT REPUBLICANS’ RECONCILIATION BILL
- Billboards: Indivisible put up billboards in 5 key Senate target states: Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, Maine, and Iowa. These Senate billboards come in addition to 20 billboards put up by Indivisible in target Republican districts ahead of the House vote.
- Calls & Emails: Indivisibles drove roughly thousands of calls and tens of thousands of emails to Senate Republican offices alone about this reconciliation bill this year.
- Protests: On the heels of No Kings protests, Indivisible groups across the country are continuing to host protests in red districts and states to call out GOP lawmakers – like this one in front of Senator McCormick’s office in Pittsburgh. This is building on actions around the Trump Tax Scam that groups started hosting during April recess.
- Neighbor2Neighbor Canvassing: In 7 Senate target states and 22 House Republican districts, roughly 700 people signed up to go door-to-door and talk to 5 neighbors each about how the cuts to Medicaid and SNAP are going to impact their local community, using Indivisible’s Neighbor2Neighbor neighborhood canvassing tool. Volunteers asked neighbors to take action, including calling their member of Congress and to help further spread the word in their community.
- Phonebanks:
- Patch-Through Phonebank: Indivisible hosted several patch-through phonebanks directed to target Senators offices in the weeks leading up to the votes. In these phonebanks, Indivisibles drive thousands of calls to Republican Senators. In one phonebank, Tom Thillis alone got 560 calls in one hour.
- Healthcare not Warfare: Indivisible hosted a phonebank following Trump’s attack on Iran demanding Senators vote to protect healthcare, not warfare. This phonebank specifically drove calls to Republican senators in Maine, West Virginia, and Missouri.
- Save Medicaid Phonebanks with Partners: The whole week leading up to the vote, Indivisible partnered with MoveOn and Working Families Party for Save Medicaid phonebanks calling into Republican offices.
