Indivisible Illinois General Meeting: DO BETTER, DURBIN, featuring Ezra Levin
IMPORTANT CALL TO ACTION FOR ILLINOIS PROGRESSIVE ACTIVISTS:
Federal court vacancies are piling up due to an archaic Senate rule called the “blue slip.” Meanwhile, new evidence of SCOTUS corruption keeps emerging. The nation is turning its eyes to us, because we are in the unique position as Senator Dick Durbin’s constituents to apply friendly but firm pressure on him to do more in his roles as Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and as the Democratic Whip.
What can we do? All progressive activists in Illinois are invited to join the Indivisible Illinois Zoom meeting on Wednesday, July 5 at 7:30pm Central to help us strategize and begin taking action! With our collective statewide voice, we can call upon Senator Durbin to:
Ditch the blue slip rule
Get more aggressive on holding Thomas & his corrupt colleagues accountable
Endorse court reforms like a Supreme Court ethics bill and Supreme Court expansion
SPECIAL GUESTS WILL BE JOINING US FROM INDIVISIBLE NATIONAL, including:
Ezra Levin is co-founder and co-chair of Indivisible National. He was a congressional staffer when he helped co-found Indivisible. He has been a featured guest on The Rachel Maddow Show many times.
Meagan Hatcher-Mays, Director of Democracy Policy, who will help us gain a better understanding of the blue slip issue, SCOTUS accountability, and court reforms
Sarah Reeske, Organizing Manager for New York State, who will share how New York Indivisibles were able to establish a working relationship with Senator Schumer and pressure him to be more progressive
Katie Guare, Associate Organizing Director for Blue States, who will help us brainstorm plans of action and escalation
