We Won, What’s Next?
Indivisible’s 2021 Strategy Session
January 31, 2021
We did it! We beat Trump and his cronies, kept The People’s House, and took back the United States Senate! This is an important moment to come together as a movement, celebrate our accomplishments and look forward together to the future. The work must continue.
Join us on January 31st from 1 to 5 pm Arizona time for this half-day strategy session, where we will discuss our plans to reform the American democracy as we head into a Democratic trifecta! You’ll have a chance to connect with other Indivisible group leaders, group members and activists from across the country. When Indivisibles in rural and urban areas can lean on others and work together, we are stronger than ever.

Call to Action: The Fillibuster
The filibuster is what Republicans in the minority use to stop progress. From civil rights legislation in the 1960s to our 2021 progressive agenda of desperately needed COVID-19 relief, healthcare, immigration, climate, economic justice, voting rights, D.C. statehood, and more, conservatives use the filibuster to obstruct when they’re not in power.
With a Democratic trifecta in the federal government, all these priorities are within reach — but only if we achieve long-overdue democracy reforms to make sure our government is accountable to the people. That starts with taking away McConnell’s favorite obstructionist tool, the filibuster.
Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema is holding up our chance to remove the filibuster. Call and email her–
Arizona Office: 602 598 7327
Federal office: (202) 224-4521
contact@sinema.senate.gov
Let her know this--The filibuster is undemocratic: it empowers the minority to block the will of voters and of the American public, and it will be used by Republicans to block every single progressive priority.
She needs to know that we can make or break her next election.

The City of Prescott posted a press release this morning ( https://www.prescott-az.gov/announcement-related-to-process-for-filling-current-city-council-vacancy/) with a revised timeline for filling Billie Orr’s vacancy on the city council which does allow for more transparency. However, their initial plan had no public involvement. It was only after a significant outcry from the citizens of Prescott, Save the Dells, other organizations and even an editorial by the Courier that they decided to revise the process. Thank you all for this support.
The press release states, “It is the council’s goal to proceed with the utmost transparency and involvement and feedback from the public.” This is good but why didn’t they do it in the first place? Why do the citizens have to continue to remind them to keep us involved and to be transparent? Please remain engaged. There’s more to come.

A Moment of Reflection
It is with a deep breath that I must let you all know that LaBeth Pondish has passed.
She was found in her home today by a neighbor checking on her. I spoke with her about a month ago and she seemed in good spirits.
I am so glad that she lived to see Biden/Harris elected and the orange plague impeached for the second time. We should find some time for those who knew her best to mourn her loss and remember her heroic contributions to the Yavapai County Democratic Party and consider an appropriate memorial for her tireless service. Please watch for service information and share your thoughts.
I bow my head and feel her energy, please take a moment and please let others who need to know share our loss.John Lutes
Yavapai County Democratic Chair, YCDP Executive Committee
From Marion Pack…
Much to my surprise, the Daily Courier printed my letter about the “Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.” It goes into effect today. I asked the paper to print it on the 22 of January and they did. Here is the letter.
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
The date of January 22nd, will likely pass by with no particular notice, especially in light of all the other news. For those who have worked for a nuclear free world, it is a major milestone! January 22nd marks the date of the formal ceremony when the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons” goes into force.
In 2017, the Nobel Peace Prize winner was the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). The Norwegian Nobel Committee honored ICAN “for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground- breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons.”
As of October 2020, with the ratification by the 50th country, ICAN’s goal became a reality. But with what purpose? The treaty is not supported by the nine nations that possess nuclear weapons, including the United States. With the treaty delegitimizing nuclear weapons, now the non-nuclear nations have international law behind them. It gives them wind to pressure nuclear countries to rid themselves of these extremely dangerous and destabilizing weapons.
In recent years, the fear of nuclear war has mostly been forgotten, but the weapons are still with us. The now-clear prospect of a out-of-control president with access to the “nuclear football” is a small window to see why these weapons pose a grave danger to all life on earth. The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is a starting point. There will be NO winners in a nuclear war.
