Hello IndiMarin Volunteers!
We 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. Please also see the additional upcoming events at the end of this email.
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. And what about an informal Zoom Happy Hour to chat about politics with like-minded peeps from around the country?
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.
We are excited about continuing our work together in 2023 to fulfill our mission to taking action to help build a more just, caring and inclusive America!
~ The IndiMarin Steering Committee - Betsy, Amy, Nanda, Betty, Joy, Laurie, Andie and Susan
ADDITIONAL UPCOMING EVENTS:
Make Calls to Flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court with IndiMarin - Every Saturday through April 1 - SIGN UP HERE. The stakes couldn’t be higher for this year's Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Help us flip the court to a progressive majority by making calls to WI Democrats, encouraging them to vote early in what a New York Times reporter calls “the most important election in America in 2023.” Voting rights, abortion rights, redistricting, and election subversion cases will be determined by this election – and the 2024 presidential election could hinge on it all. Please join us, as we partner with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, to call Wisconsin voters ahead of the open primary on February 21st and the general election on April 4th. You’ll have a choice of two user-friendly platforms – Hubdialer or OpenVPB. If you are new to phonebanking, our friendly mentors will get you started.
WRITE TO WIN at Panera Bread in Novato - Tuesdays, 2/21, 3/7, and 3/21 from 10 - 11:30 AM - SIGN UP HERE. For our local peeps, please join us for our in-person writing gathering. It's a great way to enjoy a cup of coffee outdoors, chat with other members and do some good all at the same time. We are writing to register Democratic voters in Wisconsin in advance of their important Supreme Court election this spring. All materials are provided. Just bring yourself:) An optional donation of $5 to cover postage is appreciated.
