16. Suggestion: find your local Indivisible group.
Mon Dec 31, 2018, 01:39 PM
Dec 2018

They’re ON IT. It’s grassroots activism at its best! You actually get a few things done, and your voice is amplified via a group of other like-minded people who actually focus on what can be DONE, realistically and practically.

It’ll make you feel like you’re actually DOING SOMETHING. And having an actual impact.

Our leader and the chairwoman of another local Indivisible group were on local radio, being interviewed about Indivisible. Our chairwoman prepped for the show by compiling a list of bills and proposals in which we’d actually pushed our DINO Congressman over toward the action WE wanted, as opposed to what he’d originally been leaning toward. I was pleasantly surprised at how long that list was!

DO it! It’ll help you feel like you’re actually making a difference. You’ll make some new friends, too!
