Tell Your Senators: Demand New Democratic Leadership in the Senate
Call BOTH of your Senators.
Call Script
My name is _______ and I am a constituent. My zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible.
I am calling today to thank you for voting NO on the GOP government funding bill. Unfortunately, Senator Chuck Schumer led the Senate Democrats to surrender a rare moment of leverage to rein in the chaos and harm of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Congressional Republicans. Schumer should step aside as Minority Leader. I am asking you to demand Sen Schumer step aside and work with your fellow Democrats to elect a leader who is committed to fight as hard as we are to protect our democracy, in opposition to fascism.
Background
Last week, Senator Chuck Schumer voted to block a filibuster against the GOP's Continuing Resolution thereby allowing it to pass without placing any limits on the wanton destruction of Trump, Musk and DOGE.
Senator Chuck Schumer failed to lead Democratic Senators in opposition to a terrible bill and in this unique situation he opposed the one tactic that had a chance of forcing Republicans to place real limits on the dismantling of the federal government, unilateral attacks on vulnerable people, and mass chaos and job loss caused by Trump and Musk. In fact, he was a leader in enabling the authoritarian administration.
Senator Chuck Schumer betrayed the Senate Democrats and the House Democrats, and demonstrated a shocking failure in leadership. He is not fit to be the Minority Leader if he is unwilling to effectively oppose Trump’s destructive agenda. Along with other chapters of Indivisible, we call on him to step aside.
Together with Indivisible East Bay, Indivisible SF pushed our Senators Padilla and Schiff to vote NO, and we are grateful that they did. But without effective leadership, their opposition and our hard work was lost.
