🎙️Nov 9, 2026 Weekly Actions Audio – available for when you’re on the go

🔷 To quote Rebecca Solnit, ‘That Was Glorious and Amazing and Both an End and a Beginning’

Now that we’ve had a chance to draw breath after the incredible election results (*not including I – 638*), let’s take a moment to send a massive ‘Thank You’ to any and all of you who contributed to this win in some way, however minor you may think it was. We’ve all been working hard for this for a long time so it is truly gratifying to see how it has paid off. We hope that you have taken a minute to breathe and enjoy this incredible moment!

🔷  URGENT! Support Scott Colom in his race to become the next Senator in Mississippi by donating to the legal fight to ensure that the votes are counted accurately. He currently has a slow but growing lead. There is no automatic recount system in Mississippi so any result will be contested in the courts.

🔷 The passing of I-638 was a giant stain on the victory map of the election in our state. We support the statement from the No Hate in Washington State campaign that says “To all trans girls participating in school sports in Washington, we want you to know that you belong: on the field, on the court, on the team. We stand with you and will continue to fight for a day when you can play sports without controversy.” Please consider supporting trans-led organizations by volunteering or donating. They include UTOPIA Washington, TRACTIONPNW, Lavender Rights Project, Oasis Youth Center, Ingersoll Gender Center, Gender Justice League, Diversity Alliance of Puget Sound. If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out to one of these groups. It’s likely that there will be litigation to fight the implementation of I-638 when it becomes law. Please follow No Hate In Washington State for updates.

🔷 Our next Indivisible Eastside Group meeting will be Sun Nov 15th on Zoom, 3-4:30 pm, with a new member welcome at 2:30. We’ll have a lot to talk about post election! Please join us!

✊ Action 1 – Urge Senate Democrats to demand new leadership and reject a  Schumer coronation

From Indivisible National

The midterm elections made it very clear that voters want a new generation of Democratic fighters. We need a leader in the Senate who is capable of heading that fight. Chuck Schumer is not that leader. Indeed, many of the newly elected Senators have already spoken out in favor of change.

The American people did not elect Democrats by historic margins just to bend the knee and go back to business as usual. Senate Democrats need to listen to the voters and turn the page on status quo politics.

Please tell your Democratic senator that they need to call for an open and transparent process for choosing new leadership. It is time for someone new to lead the opposition to Trump. Let them know that they have to meet the people in our new policy era with new leadership. Please contact your senators and tell them this.

☎ Sample Script:

Hello,

My name is [NAME] from [CITY], WA.

The American people did not create this blue wave so that we could go back to business-as-usual.  We have elected fighters to take on our challenges and make serious changes.  We need a leader in the Senate capable of leading the fight. As a constituent, I want you to call for an open and transparent process to choose new Senate Democratic leadership. 

We’re tired of the same corrupt back-room deals. If you are too, you must call for an open process to pick a new Democratic leader.

Thank you.

✊ Action 2 – Demand that our Members of Congress fight for accountability for the Trump regime

Concerns about the open corruption of the current administration were central to the Democratic wins last week, and the expectation that the offenses would be addressed by our new Congress were high. However, the day after Election Day, when the true extent of the Democrats’ victory was clear, Hakeem Jeffries was preemptively saying that Americans “don’t want us to get even, they want us to get things done on their behalf,” as if accountability and pursuit of justice are not a strong concern of voters. He ignored that the swell of support for Democrats is in part a repudiation of the open corruption of the administration. In a more recent interview he was equally non-committal about his desire to come down hard on the law breakers currently in office.

Holding our rule breakers to account AND pushing forth legislation that aims to better the lives of Americans are not mutually exclusive. We expect Democrats to pursue both of these with determination and resolve. We’ve seen that the legal and political structures of our country are too fragile for anyone to sit back on the laurels of a blue wave. Root out the rot, and rebuild.

Please contact House Minority Leader Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Schumer, and our Members of Congress and let them know that we expect them to address affordability AND accountability, vigorously and forcefully.

☎ Sample Script:

Hello,

My name is [NAME], from [CITY], WA. 

The American people have made it clear that the corruption of the current administration is a major concern and voted accordingly. Please ensure that, moving forward, these concerns are taken as seriously as cost of living and affordability concerns. It is not a matter of ‘getting even’ but of supporting the rule of law and rooting out rank lawlessness by holding perpetrators and their enablers accountable to the full extent of the law. We believe that it is not only possible but essential that you do both.

Thank you.
