Dear members,
We are flagging three important and time-sensitive local actions in this newsletter:
- Support for COVID-relief for impacted Marin residents - Deadline is tomorrow
- Register to vote for CA Assembly District Delegates - Deadline is tomorrow
- Attend Congressman Huffman's Virtual Town Hall - Tuesday at 4 PM
Support COVID relief for residents of Marin County
With the federal government in gridlock over COVID relief, local action is crucial to help impacted members of our community. Please join a county-wide campaign, led by Canal Alliance, Community Action Marin and Legal Aid of Marin. Their recommended initiative will benefit all low-income families and essential workers in the County. Please take this action to email your elected representatives and ask them to support a rent freeze and an extension to the eviction moratorium. Depending on your zip code, the letter will be sent to the City Council of your city and to the County Supervisor of your district. Click here to take action.
Register to vote in the 2021 CA Democratic Party ADEM Election
The ADEM election for California Democratic Party delegates is in progress and the deadline to register for a vote-by-mail ballot is TOMORROW, January 11 by 11:59 PM.
California Democratic District Delegates are responsible for helping to shape the Party's platform. After you register, you will receive a ballot in the mail which must be received before Wednesday, January 27th. You can read candidate statements here.
IndiMarin is not making endorsements for delegates with one exception. We do strongly support the candidacy of Susan Bolle.

She is a grassroots organizer who is passionate about voting rights and winning elections for Democrats up and down the ballot. and has dedicated the last five years to leading volunteers to call, text and canvass voters all over the country to win elections.
