WE'RE THROWING A BIRTHDAY PARTY!
Join us this Friday as we gather to wish Bob Goodlatte a happy 64th birthday and remind him and his constituents in Virginia's Sixth district of his crucial role as Chair of the House Judiciary in safeguarding our democracy in these unprecedented times. Concerned citizens from all over the country have sent us birthday cards to deliver to Goodlatte's office, cards wishing him a happy birthday and hoping he finds the political courage to do what's best for the country, and not just a smaller partisan interest. Come join us on Friday, for cake, balloons, and deliver your own birthday card and birthday wishes to Rep. Goodlatte!
We will meet in front of the Roanoke Library downtown at noon and then will walk over with our party to the Sun Trust building.

Indivisible's Weekly Priority: You can find Indivisible's National priorities for this week here; we are focusing on calling about the recently revived Senate proposal to gut the ACA -- AGAIN. This bill is terrible, and may have devastating affects not just on our health care system, but also on Medicaid. It ends all federal subsidies and would allow seniors and those with pre-existing conditions to be gouged by the insurance companies. Read all about it, and learn how we can fight it by demanding that tour Democratic Senators do everything they can to wait out the clock. There are 12 days left for the Senate to ram healthcare through reconciliation with just 50 votes. This is TrumpCare’s last stand. Call your senators ASAP and tell them to vote no on “Graham-Cassidy” using all the latest resources at TrumpCareTen.org.
NEXT WEEKS:
Time to make calls, knock on doors, and get the voters out for November. Check out the WeVolunteer platform which allows you to sign up to help local Delegate races, and stay tuned for some events we will have to help the unified Democratic ticket get the vote out for Northam, Justin Fairfax, and Mark Herring!
