SUMMARY:How to Strengthen Democracy during Polarized Times
DESCRIPTION:Resistance doesn’t go on vacation. We are going virtual in July\, so you can join from anywhere. (The zoom link will be emailed to participants the day before the event) \n\n\n\nJoin us for a discussion with Kevin Johnson\, co-founder and executive director of Election Reformers Network\, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization advancing innovations that protect elections from polarization. \n\n\n\nAbout our Speaker: Since 2017\, Kevin Johnson has led Election Reformers Network’s research and advocacy programs focused on impartial election governance\, independent redistricting\, and voting rules. Kevin draws on decades of experience supporting emerging democracies overseas and advancing reforms in the US. \n\n\n\nKevin has authored studies of secretary of state conflict of interest\, election commission models\, comparative election management\, and proportional approaches to electoral college reform. He has also published more than two dozen op-eds on a wide range of reform topics in media outlets including The Washington Post\, Governing\, The Fulcrum\, and The Hill. \n\n\n\nKevin has held board or advisory positions with The Carter Center\, Common Cause Massachusetts\, Rank the Vote\, and American Promise. For 18 years Kevin ran Liberty Global Partners\, an investment advisory firm focused on venture capital and private equity in emerging markets. Kevin earned an MBA from Wharton and a BA from Yale\, and lives with his wife and three children in Newton\, MA. \n\n\n\n\nRegister for  Updates and Zoom link\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: If you receive a message from mobilize that the event is full\, please email us at IndivisibleWin@gmail.com\, and ask to be placed on the waiting list. Thank you! \n\n\n\nA core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

SUMMARY:2025 Sister District MA-RI & Friends Phonebank!
DESCRIPTION:Join Sister District MA-RI to help our candidates build progressive power in state legislatures in 2025! This year\, we’re working to hold the VA House (where all 100 seats will be up for grabs)\, and driving voter engagement to flip the VA Governor’s mansion for a Democratic trifecta. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nWhy phonebank? The data proves it: phonebanking is THE BEST volunteering option for remote voter contact. We identify supporters and let them know why their vote matters\, speak to undecided voters\, and recruit local volunteers for crucial state-legislative races. Every call helps us tidy our lists\, which helps our candidates and makes for a faster\, more efficient phonebank! \n\n\n\nCome one\, come all: No experience necessary. Each Zoom phonebank includes training and check-ins for first-timers (experienced callers can jump right in). We’ll share successes and address questions throughout. Our veteran phonebank leaders will help you get comfortable\, increase your effectiveness\, and make sure you have a great experience.

SUMMARY:One Million Rising-Strategic Non-cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism
DESCRIPTION:Across the country\, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations\, rollbacks of civil rights\, weaponized courts\, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action\, but through sustained organizing in our communities. \n\n\n\nThat’s why this summer\, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation\, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead. \n\n\n\nLet’s build a force bigger than fear and louder than hate. Let’s get ready. Let’s get organized. Let’s stop Trump. \n\n\n\n\nGet Zoom Link\n\n\n\n\nSession 1: The Moment & Your Mission – July 16 Get oriented to making meaning of this moment and the role you can play in coordinated strategic action. \n\n\n\nSession 2: How to Make it Happen – July 30 This train-the-trainer session is how we get to one million. Learn not just our strategy\, but how you can train others and get them on board. You’ll host your first community resistance gathering after this session. \n\n\n\nSession 3: What Now? – August 13 You’ll be onboarded to basic campaign design and learn how to implement it locally as well as get plugged into our next national campaign work. Your second community resistance gathering will move this action forward. \n\n\n\nSign up for all 3 sessions to get the most out of this experience. Watch it live with a friend in person\, and get ready now to host your own community resistance gatherings after the second and third sessions. This is how we get to 1 million!

SUMMARY:GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON: "Voting Rights: The Struggle To Be Counted" (a film viewing/discussion)
DESCRIPTION:Phil Portlock is a native Washingtonian\, photographer\, writer\, film producer and social justice activist. With the creative use of images\, music and narration by his wife Pat Sloan\, the film “Voting Rights: The Struggle To Be Counted” traces the long and often brutal struggle by African Americans to obtain and maintain the right to vote. “A VOTELESS PEOPLE IS A VOICELESS PEOPLE”!  \n\n\n\nOur rights are under attack. Our democracy is under siege. We’ve been here before\, and we know what to do. \n\n\n\nOn July 17\, we honor the anniversary of the passing of civil rights hero John Lewis\, not with ceremonies\, but with action. Across the country\, we will take to the streets\, courthouses\, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice\, voting rights\, and dignity for all. \n\n\n\nThis is more than a protest\, it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead\, and a new front in the struggle for freedom. \n\n\n\nPlease note: a core principle behind our John Lewis Good Trouble Day actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP
