Thank You President Biden
President Biden has served our nation with dedication and selflessness, guiding us through extraordinary challenges these past four years. We are eternally grateful for his decades of service and look forward to supporting him for the duration of his presidency. But now we need a new Democratic nominee and the convention is next month.
After turning down the nomination, President Biden enthusiastically endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. Now we are asking you – should IW endorse Harris for president?
The latest Indivisible National polling showed overwhelming Indivisible support for the VP. Polls from this past weekend show that nearly 96% of group leaders and 93 percent of Indivisibles polled support Harris being the Democratic nominee.
- Please vote on whether IW should endorse Harris HERE.
Let’s Flip This Seat From Red to Blue
The road to a Democratic majority runs through New York and we have a House seat here in Westchester (NY-17) that we need to flip from red to blue by electing Mondaire Jones. It will take an all hands on deck effort to reclaim this seat. We will have some Indivisible specific actions this fall, but in the meantime you can get started by:
- Clicking HERE to take action with Mondaire for Congress.

New York Equal Rights Coalition Update
Due by Friday! The proposed language for the NY ERA ballot measure is available for public comment so the State Board of Elections can collect feedback. The NYER coalition has 2 flags on the language that they want changed. They have a specific request of Indivisibles!
1) Read this doc. It lists out everything to know about the public comment period.
2) Use the provided sample email to send emails to the State Board of Elections before Friday, July 26th @ comments@elections.ny.gov.
Commissioners of the New York State Board of Elections,
My name is [NAME] and I am a voter in [TOWN], New York.
I want to submit feedback on the ballot language for Proposal 1 because I find the language confusing.
The language “reproductive healthcare and autonomy” is unclear to me. It does not make clear whether the Proposal includes protections for abortion. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, I want to be certain that the amendment protects abortion.
The terms “sexual orientation and gender identity” are not clear. I thought the amendment protects members of the LGBT community. The phrase LGBT might help voters understand exactly what the NYERA would do to protect this community.
Thank you,
