Happy Thursday, Activists! As you know, this week President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act--the monumental climate, healthcare, and tax code law. Add to that the CHIPS and Science Law he signed last week, and the expanded healthcare to veterans injured from burn pits, and on and on. I'd say (cautiously) that we have some momentum going into the midterms! In fact, we at Indivisible Philadelphia HQ are busy revising our scripts and handouts for our canvasses and our 35 Doors Project to highlight the new benefits for all Americans that the Democrats have passed into law. It's exciting!
We have a ton of opportunities for you to build on this momentum, to get in the game and help elect Democrats and save our democracy. So check them out below and we'll see you there!

MESSAGE MATTERS STOP INFLATION DISINFORMATION
Here's your message for this week. Share it on Facebook, Twitter and in your personal conversations! Lowering health care and energy prices by taxing corporations sure sounds great to me. So why would anyone mislead about taxes to turn us against the #InflationReductionAct?
