Representation Committee Top Five Goals for 2020

1. Elect a Democratic President

 Support the Democratic primary winner. We must defeat Trump.

 Sign on with the Indivisible Pledge if you haven’t done so already!

REPRESENTATION
Take the “We are Indivisible 2020 Pledge” at
https://pledge.indivisible.org

Make the primary constructive. We’ll make the primary
election about our hopes for the future, and a robust debate of
values, vision and the contest of ideas. We’ll remain grounded in our
shared values, even if we support different candidates.

Rally behind the winner. We'll support the ultimate Democratic
nominee, whomever it is — period. No Monday morning
quarterbacking. No third-party threats.

Do the work to beat Trump. We’re the grassroots army that’s
going to power the nominee to victory, and we’ll show up to make
calls, knock doors, and do whatever it takes.
