Together Again

The last time IndiMarin members met in person was on March 8, 2020. Now, 564 days later, we will be TOGETHER AGAIN! We hope you will join us for this very special event to mingle, reconnect and socialize with our wonderful community. Many of us will have our first "real-world" meetings with people we've zoomed with for the last year! Assorted snacks and beverages provided. Sign up here.

There will be opportunities to meet our Team Leaders and stop by information tables to learn more about our current programs. But, most importantly of all, it will be a time to enjoy and celebrate our community of like-minded people who reject complacency and choose action to help our country and its people. Friends and family members of all ages are welcome!

Second, the urgent part:

Please send Senator Feinstein a personal note via US mail this week. We've been told by staffers that she often reads handwritten notes from constituents. A postcard, notecard, stationary or a piece of printer paper all work fine.

Yesterday was the first day of Deadline for Democracy, a cross-movement mobilization during the July Congressional Recess to demand that lawmakers act urgently to defend democracy and pass the For the People Act by the end August. While Senator Padilla has been a vocal advocate for filibuster reform, Senator Feinstein has backpedaled on her earlier indications of open-mindedness. On June 10th, she were quoted in Forbes as stating, “If democracy were in jeopardy, I would want to protect it,” but “I don’t see it being in jeopardy right now." When asked if there are any filibuster reforms she would support,  she said, "I'm going to have to take a look. Right now nothing comes to mind."

Short messages in your own words are most impactful and a direct yet respectful tone is encouraged. Send a postcard, notecard or letter to One Post Street, Suite 2450, San Francisco, CA 94104. Calls and emails are great too. Let's make sure that she understands how passionate her constituents are on this issue!
