At our Virtual Membership Meeting on Sunday, the IndiMarin leadership team laid out our strategy to help YOU have impact on the outcome on November 3. If you missed the meeting, hope you will watch the presentation or review the slides. We have heard from many of those who attended that they were inspired and energized to get more involved in voter outreach as a result of what they heard. The resulting increase in event and training sign-ups are exciting indicators that this feedback is translating into action. You can sign up for upcoming voter outreach events on our calendar and for 1:1 training in phonebanking and textbanking.
TOMORROW - We are excited to let you know about a special phonebanking event tomorrow from 2 -5 PM hosted by Indivisible California. Together with Indivisible volunteers from around the country, we’ll be making calls for congressional candidate Christy Smith for the Special Election on May 12th in CA-25. This is a hugely important CA district! We have the special opportunity of having Christy speak to us at the start of the call. Then we’ll have a brief training and start making calls. RSVP here.
If you are new to phonebanking or a bit rusty, join us anyway! It will be a great first step. You can always hop off if you’re needing more instruction and set up a 1:1 session later.
If you have already been trained, or have prior experience, you can also make calls for Christy on your own at your convenience. Sign up here.
WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD - OUTREACH TO FRIENDS IN RED STATES...OR ANYWHERE! -Research shows that the most effective form of voter outreach is relational organizing. Simply put, relational organizing means outreach to people you know. Getting encouragement from a friend who is engaged in the work is a powerful motivator. Please take action to enlist people in your network to help with the work needed for Dems to win in November.
We've made it easy:
Reach out to "non-Marin" friends and family who are like-minded. You can use this template email, send a text or pick up the phone. Now is a great time to connect with people!
Red state contacts are especially valuable
Share with them about your efforts and ask whether they’d like to get involved
Options for involvement include calling their members of Congress and volunteering for voter outreach work.
Invite them to join Indivisible Anywhere via our website
We send them e-newsletters with ideas and details to have impact from home
We send all good thoughts to you and your families during these difficult times.
