đŸ”· There has been understandable anxiety around the flurry of court rulings related to the Executive Order and USPS rule regarding Ballot Mail for Federal Elections. In an email to partner organizations, King County Elections Director Julie Wise said “
there is no change to our work or the way our voters vote. Things are still in flux and evolving so we will keep sending updates on this front and any other potential impacts to our elections.” Indivisible Eastside Steering is in direct, regular contact with King County Elections. They are taking additional steps to track not just the ballot delivered to your home, but also ballots returned via USPS. What’s most important to know is that (1) they are tracking all of this very closely (the Secretary of State actually did a briefing this Thursday for auditors and are regularly consulting with our Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and the AG’s Office), (2) they have lots of contingency plans (online ballot printing is one of them, it’s also why they have seven Vote Centers across the county and lots of strong partnerships). They are good at pivoting and solving problems. When they have more concrete information they will communicate that. 

For up-to-date information, check the SOS news page, and please attend the Voter Protection Zoom with Secretary of State Steve Hobbs Sept 8, 4-5 pm.

đŸ”· We know our right to vote wasn’t simply given. It was won by people who marched, sat in, stood in line for hours in the rain, and risked everything so we could stand here today. Every generation before us fought for it. And now it’s ours to carry forward. The No Kings coalition is launching the No Kings: Vote Early campaign on Thurs, Sept 10 at 5 pm PDT to encourage EVERYONE nationwide to vote as early as possible. Come election day, we want the results to be irrefutable! Indivisible Eastside will be participating and you can learn more at our September 19th Group Meeting, and in the Weekly Actions and Events newsletter. 

đŸ”· Please join us Sat Sept 19, 3:30-5:00 pm IN PERSON in Kirkland for the IE Group Meeting. We have a great agenda including noted immigration attorney Jay Stansell as well as planning for IE’s No Kings: Vote Early project (not a protest), updates on upcoming events including GOTV overpass bannering, a Ballots ‘n Brews party in Redmond, and another field trip to the King County Ballot Processing center in Renton. This month we are collecting non-perishable food items for Rose Hill Middle School’s food bank. Please click the link to sign up so we know how many refreshments to provide.

Weekly Actions

 

✊ Action 1 – Stop Trump’s crypto corruption – ask our Senators to oppose the Clarity Act

From Indivisible.org

Last year, the House passed the CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633), a bill disguised as “crypto regulation” that actually serves the billionaires and bad actors at the center of today’s crypto chaos. This bill doesn’t protect consumers, doesn’t close money laundering loopholes, and does nothing to stop the biggest threat of all: Trump’s crypto-fueled bribery machine. In May 2026, the Senate began debate on the CLARITY Act, and the debate continues.  

Trump has already amassed $1.4 billion in the last year alone, and the latest bill text doesn’t include any meaningful ethics fix: 

  • It does not stop the main ways Trump has accumulated, and will continue to accumulate, crypto wealth. It would only restrict officials and their spouses from issuing or sponsoring new digital assets.   
  • It does not stop Trump’s ongoing corruption: It doesn’t stop his children from profiting off his office and it doesn’t require him to divest from any of his businesses making crypto deals.

Unfortunately, 78 House Democrats helped pass the CLARITY Act in the House last summer, including four from our state (Reps Delbene, Glusenkamp-Perez, Schrier, and Strickland). We need to make sure Senate Dems don’t make the same mistake. Recently several Democratic senators who were on the fence have voiced their opposition to the bill. Now we need to make sure the rest follow suit.

Contact your Senators now and tell them: OPPOSE the CLARITY Act. We won’t let Congress enable more of Trump’s corruption or gamble away our financial stability just to appease crypto billionaires.

đŸ”· Sen. Patty Murray: DC 202-224-2621 | Seattle 206-553-5545 | EMAIL

đŸ”· Sen. Maria Cantwell: DC 202-224-3441 | Seattle 206-220-6400 | EMAIL

☎ Sample Script:

Hi, my name is [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY, WA].

I’m alarmed that Trump is using cryptocurrency to let billionaires, big tech, and foreign governments bribe him personally. Democrats should not be considering or supporting any crypto bills that fail to stop Trump’s crypto corruption. 

I urge [SENATOR] to oppose the CLARITY Act when it comes up for a vote. I expect her to oppose this corruption. 

Thank you.

✊ Action 2 – Midterm elections work is underway- choose your adventure!

The Midterm election is only 8 weeks away, and ballots for overseas and military voters will be mailed in 1 œ weeks! It is imperative that we have a very high voter turnout for this election to counteract all the ways this administration is attempting to suppress the vote. Please consider some of these options to help GOTV.

đŸ’„ Phone Bank for National Campaigns

đŸ’„ National Opportunities

Indivisible Vashon has done extensive research on the prospects for our National elections to regain control of Congress. To regain Congress we need to protect progressive incumbents and flip some seats from red to blue. To dispel uncertainty and defeat the possibility of stolen elections we need impressive wins. Make this happen by supporting one or more of the competitive Congressional candidates HERE.

Field Team 6 has a wide variety of volunteer opportunities.

Vote Riders is a national voting rights organization that helps people get the proper ID to vote. You can volunteer with them in many different ways.

⛅ Bright Spots

  • Trump’s attempts to use the Postal Service to limit mail-in voting were blocked again on Friday. A federal judge extended her prohibition against implementation of Trump’s executive order seeking to use the Postal Service to limit mail-in voting during the midterms. This happened as the first states began sending out mail-in ballots.
  • The Trump DOJ’s nationwide campaign to obtain states’ unredacted voter rolls now stands at 23 straight losses. Trump’s DOJ continues to appeal these cases, and appears to want to involve the Supreme Court, but so far the DOJ has lost every time.
  • A new database to monitor backlash to Flock and other automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras shows that as of last week, more than 100 local governments across the US have canceled or declined to renew their city’s Flock or other ALPR contracts since 2025. These victories belong to local activists — including Indivisible groups! — in every corner of the country.
