Take Action on the Climate
One-Click Email for the Climate this Week from IMV’s ally, NY Renews
We all agree: New Yorkers deserve clean air. But, unless New York’s agencies put powerful pollution caps in place, we’ll never reach the clean-air mandates set by our Climate Act. New York's emissions cap-and-invest system needs teeth! But without enforcement, there’s no guarantee polluters will change their ways.
Email regulators today urging them to rigorously enforce climate justice!
Our Plans for Local Elections Now Through Nov. 7
Since we have so many excellent Democratic women candidates, we have plans to send a lot of postcards to Democratic women and unaffiliated women voters in targeted districts this fall.
We're going to need to schedule some postcard writing parties. Stay tuned!
Since the postcards are for local candidates, we can't use our Act Blue account to buy the stamps, so please start saving postcard stamps and/or
Please send a check to Indivisible Mohawk Valley c/o Deborah Wilson-Allam, 2 Laurelwood Dr, New Hartford, NY 13413
We are also working on a schedule to help our 2023 local candidates connect with voters.
As we did two years ago, we expect to hold IMV canvassing events on Sunday afternoons starting soon right up until election day. We'll meet up and knock doors for a designated candidate each week.
Please save as many Sundays as you can from mid-August through Nov. 5.
Trump is Indicted...But We Still Have Work to Do
So, as we all know by now, Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is doing his job. We also need to do ours:
Call attention to our horrible MOC, Brandon Williams, and make sure that NY22 voters know just what a terrible representative he is. That means holding public actions that attract earned media and writing letters to the editor. We want everyone to know that Williams is a MAGA Extremist who is enabling an extremist Republican congress.
Spread the message about the positive impacts of bills that President Biden and the Democratic Congress passed, like the IRA, and that are now bringing lower cost prescriptions, green jobs, and investments in our families and future. We can do this on social media, letters to the editor, or just conversations with family and friends.
Build the Blue Wave we want to see in 2024 by knocking doors, connecting with voters, and electing Democrats locally in 2023.
Thanks for all you have been doing to save democracy month after month, year after year. We are not giving up no matter what --we keep fighting for our freedoms, families, and futures!
One final reminder: Register for the NY22 Congressional Forum on August 17th. We look forward to seeing you there! People power is about showing up! Let's show Brandon Williams and the MAGA extremist Republicans that we are united, energized, and prepared to defeat them on Election Day.
Now, more than ever, democracy is not a spectator sport.
