ACTION ALERT: Stop the tax scam

Senate Republicans are planning to vote on their scheme to hike taxes on the middle class on Friday. That’s today. Right now. Which means there’s still time to stop them. The Center for American Progress has the easy-to-use toolkit you need to contact your senators and tell them to vote no.

The Ohio kids are all right

Members of Ohio’s IJPC Youth Educating Society — a youth group that advocates for immigrant rights — and a member of Indivisible Dayton confronted their Republican senator, Rob Portman, to ask him to support a clean DREAM Act. They also presented him a report card. He got a C-. Do better, senator.

Indivisible St. Louis makes sure Trump knows he’s not welcome in Missouri

When Donald Trump traveled to Missouri this week to promote his disastrous tax hike on the middle class, Indivisible St. Louis was there to greet him — by telling him to resign.

Chelsea Handler teams up with EMILY’s List

Hilarious comedian Chelsea Handler is still hilarious — but she’s also dead serious about getting strong, pro-choice, pro-equality women into office. So she’s working with EMILY’s List to do just that, as she explained on Ellen DeGeneres’ show.

“I want to get women elected,” she said. “I really believe that’s the key to everything.”

It really is.

ACTION ALERT: Sign up for health care and tell everyone you know to do the same

There are two weeks left for open enrollment, which ends on Dec. 15. That means if you need health insurance, or you’re looking to change your insurance, now is the time to get covered. And then tell everyone you know — your friends, your family, your neighbors, your coworkers — to do the same.

ACTION ALERT: Be a health care voter

Once you’ve signed up for health care and made sure everyone you know has done the same, take the next step. Take the pledge to be a health care voter — holding elected officials accountable on protecting health care and supporting those who understand access to health care is a right.
