GET INVOLVED
There are so many issues to get behind in our current political climate. How do we stay focused, keep from “burning out” as overwhelming news stories pour into our Facebook feeds…and really make a difference in our own communities? Events posted here are focused around local, organized opportunities that support our mission in the 11th District. You’ll be in good company with other Indivisible members, making a difference and working with other resisters.
