Save the date: Majority Over MAGA Weekend of Action, June 21–24
Two years ago, the country was rocked by this devastating news:
When the Supreme Court, stacked with Trump’s MAGA justices, decided to take up Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, we knew that they had everything in place to overturn Roe. What we didn’t know, and what we learned from the leak of the draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, was the ruthless, callous, and shameless argument that they would make to justify it. We learned that their fundamental hatred for women and those choosing to control their reproductive health knows no bounds.
We also learned something else two years ago: The country was not going to accept this. Thousands and thousands of folks took to the streets, to social media, and to their communities to declare that our freedoms must be defended. Together, we lit a fire that saw abortion rights becoming codified by voters from California to Michigan to Vermont to Ohio, and anti-abortion attacks being rejected in Montana, Kentucky, and Kansas. And in November midterms, when the MAGA GOP was all but guaranteed a “red wave,” we made abortion THE issue of the election — protecting our hold on the Senate and ensuring their House majority would be razor thin.
Justice Alito said in his original opinion, “women are not without electoral or political power.” We’ve proven how true that was. And now, Trump is rallying his base to retake the White House as well as the Senate with promises of a second term full of more horrors: Allowing states to prosecute patients, forcing pregnant people to submit to government monitoring, and permitting states with the most draconian laws to continue their bans. If we want to stop this catastrophic vision for the future and reclaim our rights, we need to go even bigger so that we can defeat MAGA again.
In 2022, we beat the odds by focusing on MAGA extremism and reproductive rights, and we can do it again. That is why we are kicking off our 2024 electoral program with a weekend of action from June 21 to 24, uplifting the anniversary of the Dobbs decision. During our Majority Over MAGA Weekend of Action, Indivisibles will organize press-worthy events across the country to shine a light on MAGA extremism and the power of the movement fighting back against it.
If you’re ready to get involved and make this weekend of action a massive mobilization, here’s everything you need to get started:
- Read our Majority Over MAGA Weekend of Action resource, and register your local event on Mobilize. Whether your state is deep red, bright blue, or somewhere in between, we need events in EVERY corner of the country to make sure we grab the media’s attention and ensure our narrative breaks through. Check out our event toolkit for tons of best practices as well as upcoming virtual planning spaces to help you craft your event.
- RSVP for the Majority Over MAGA Kickoff Call on Thursday, June 13 at 8am ET/5pm PT. We’ll kick off our Majority Over MAGA Weekend of Action on a virtual call with Indivisibles nationwide where we’ll examine the critical impact reproductive rights will have on the election and discuss what tactics you can take to combat MAGA extremism, engage voters, and amplify our voices during the upcoming Majority Over MAGA Weekend of Action.
- Sign up for our virtual phonebank on Thursday, June 20 at 6pm ET/3pm PT. For those who cannot make it to their local event, or don’t have an event in their area, we’re organizing a national phonebank to reach and motivate voters in critical races this year.
- Chip in $10 or whatever you can today to support our weekend of action and all of the voter contact work we’re planning now until November. We are lining up tons of resources for event hosts so that we can help cover costs and provide hands-on staff support. We’re also ramping up our voter contact work to drive more calls, more texts, and more postcards in the weeks ahead. But we’re counting on grassroots supporters to help — if you’re able, make your gift today, and ensure we have everything we need to win.
We’ll have more updates on our weekend of action in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for more information soon.
Two years ago, we turned our outrage into action, and our action into political power. Now, it’s time to again declare to Trump, to MAGA, and to the entire country: We won’t go back.
