Indivisible Cedar Mill is a progressive, grassroots political group that follows the Indivisible Guide. We have monthly Zoom meetings with local guest speakers. Our meetings are informational with a focus on following our local political scene as well as State and Federal. Our membership is activist in nature with an emphasis on members being active in the community working on postcard and letter writing campaigns, phone banking and canvassing. Our speakers range from government representatives to activists in progressive causes. We regularly call our Members of Congress to urge them to support or oppose legislation.

Now what? After yesterday’s failure to reform the filibuster and pass the Freedom to Vote Act
Our advocacy moved the needle, but not far enough. Apparently nothing was going to get Senima and Manchin to reform the filibuster. Here’s what Indivisible USA says about this discouraging turn of events.
So what now? This fight for a real democracy has been part of America since its founding. Nor is using the filibuster to block pro-democracy, pro-civil rights legislation anything new. After the Civil War, southern segregations popularized and weaponized the filibuster to prevent the Senate from taking up democracy legislation. The 1964 Civil Rights bill overcame a weeks-long filibuster, and the 1965 Voting Rights Act faced its own filibuster threats as well. Those bills were decades in the making — the end successful result of decades of failed attempts.
So what can we do after losing a hard fight? Here are the options:
- We can give up.
- We can keep building power.
That’s it. End of list. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to let the fascists win in a forfeit.
On January 24th at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT, we’re pulling together pro-democracy supporters from across the country to strategize about next steps. If you would like to be part of that conversation, please sign up to join Monday’s Movement call here. And if you have any thoughts to share ahead of time, please reply to this email with them (yes, to “no-reply” we do read it!), or feel free to reach out to me directly on Twitter at @ezralevin (I really try to respond!).
I’m sorry that we lost tonight, but I am so damn proud that we fought. I’ve said time and time again: we’re not fighting for our democracy because we know we’ll win. We’re fighting for it because we know we have to win. And we will win.
No Celebration without Legislation!
Call your Members of Congress who are working hard to change the filibuster rules so that the Voting Rights Act can pass!
Use the power of your voice today! Time is running out for democracy.
