Hello IndiMarin Volunteers!
Hopefully, you've had a chance to catch your breath following a jam-packed 2022 and the holiday season. We at IndiMarin are ready to start plunging back into political action and hope you are too!
We especially hope you will sign up for one or both of our upcoming "Listening Sessions" on Sunday, February 19 and 26 at 4 PM PT. SIGN UP HERE.
As the Leadership Team at IndiMarin begins to plan a range of strategic ways for our volunteers to take action in 2023, we want to hear from YOU! What do you think should be on the list of priorities?
Some early ideas we've brainstormed include ways to push back on MAGA extremism in Congress, spread pro-democrat messaging via social media, and prepare for 2024 by registering voters and doing deep-canvassing.
But we really want to hear from all of you FIRST before making decisions!
What work will resonate and be meaningful for you in 2023? What do you think of the short list of ideas above? Do you have additional ideas? What is working or not working for you as a volunteer with IndiMarin?
Please join us to share your thoughts, or just come and listen to what other volunteers have to say! The call will be moderated to ensure that the maximum number of people have time to speak! SIGN UP HERE.
As a warm up, we've also listed below some interesting sounding events hosted by allied groups. Note that two are tomorrow!
We are excited about getting rolling in 2023 and hope to see you at a Listening Session!
~ The IndiMarin Steering Committee - Betsy, Amy, Nanda, Betty, Joy, Laurie, Andie and Susan
