INDIVISIBLE just announced their plan to flip

The House and state elections. GOTV RESIST!
http://indivisible.actionkit.com/mailings/view/21006?t=9&akid=21006%2E232934%2ET-XPuK

There’s a massive, movement-wide effort underway to take back the House and Senate, governor’s mansions, and statehouses, and Indivisible groups will work collaboratively in their communities to win in November. Every district’s different, and Indivisible groups make strategic choices about how to best get involved in races, and we’ll be there to support them at every step of the way. That’s the promise of our political program: Indivisible435.

And over the last few months, we’ve had hundreds of conversations with group leaders and movement allies to identify gaps and needs for our movement, and the larger progressive movement. Based on those conversations, we’re investing our resources into programs that will support the long-term powerbuilding of our movement: building scalable electoral tools for all Indivisible groups and providing deep support on targeted races.
Here’s a deep-dive into Indivisible435:

Beginning today, Indivisible groups not coordinating with political campaigns can sign up for their members to use scalable voter contact tools (they’re literally signing up right now!). We've tested the tools and trainings during the primaries to inform our general election and get out the vote efforts. As we get closer to the midterm, our organizing team will:

Provide access to canvassing and phonebanking tools to members of every Indivisible group.
Train and guide Indivisible groups on using these resources to grow their membership, build their power, and, yes, win elections.
Build a national volunteer peer-to-peer text-banking and phonebanking program that could reach millions of voters.

We’ve also already doubled our organizing staff capacity to heavily support races in 13 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin. Our work in these 13 states will touch:

11 governor’s races (7 GOP-held seats, 4 Democrat-held seats);
12 Senate races (6 GOP-held seats, 6 Democrat-held seats); and,
50 competitive House races (40 GOP-held districts and 10 Democrat-held districts).

is anyone tracking all the PACs and groups ... there were several with organizers in 2016, and several more for special elections this year. do they wind up stepping on each others' territory/overlapping?

They formed soon after the election and took their model from the Tea Party. They are serious, smart and determined and in it for the long haul. They have been very organized and are looking at a short term and long term wins for the Dems. A local group (there are many in most cities) has gone to Issa's CA district office every single Tues for over a year and are a huge influence and reason why he isn't running for reelection. They have realistic plans and strategies to flip seats. I am so impressed with them. Definitely check them out it if you can.
