We are FINALLY on the brink of spring and happy to announce some exciting new programming for 2023.
So far this year, campaigning for the all-important Wisconsin Supreme Court election has kept us busy! A big thanks to all of you who have made phone calls and written postcards for this effort. Our phonebanks continue right up to election day on April 4 and callers report that Wisconsin voters really appreciate the reminder calls! Sign up here to make calls to friendly Wisconsins on Saturdays from 10 - 11:30 PT!
We also hosted two Listening Sessions in February. You spoke and we listened! Both sessions helped inform our planning of strategic ways for volunteers to take action in 2023. Thanks to all who participated!
A key takeaway from the Listening Sessions is that the most important way IndiMarin can support our volunteers' political engagement is by providing opportunities for action. Below are results of the Zoom poll we took during the sessions.
In response to this feedback, we are launching the IndiMarin Take Five Team which is designed to provide our volunteers with quick, easy actions to do good. If you join the team, you will receive action alerts about once a week, more or less. Each alert will give you a few choices of actions you can take in five minutes - things like sending an email or making a phone call to an elected official or corporate leader, posting a comment to a governmental agency etc. We'll provide you with the needed links, numbers and some optional talking points. Will you take five for good once a week? SIGN UP HERE!
A second takeaway is that volunteers are enthused about the idea of a Zoom Happy Hour, potentially monthly.
So.....you guessed it, we've planned our first Zoom Happy Hour on Thursday, April 6 from 5 - 6 PM PT. We hope you'll join IndiMarin leaders and fellow volunteers for an informal hour of political conversation over a glass of wine or your beverage of choice. It will be a chance to share thoughts about recent news and get to know other volunteers. We'll facilitate the conversation to give as many people as possible a chance to chime in and to keep the conversation lively:) No worries, if you can't make it at 5 on the dot, just join when you can. Hope to see you there! 🍷 SIGN UP HERE.
We're excited about the coming spring, renewed energy, and new ways to make a difference We hope you are too.
Please feel free to write us at info@indivisiblemarin.org with any additional input or ideas. We always love to hear from our volunteers!
