SUMMARY:Canvass to Protect the Vote in Maine
DESCRIPTION:Join Swing Blue Alliance to defeat Maine’s voter suppression referendum on the ballot this November. We will canvass primarily Democratic voters in southern Maine to make sure we turn out every supporter. This ballot question\, underwritten by national Republicans\, would limit drop boxes\, mail-in and absentee voting\, and require identification\, which does not include student or tribal IDs.  It’s likely to be a low turnout election\, so our work will be especially impactful. Let’s work with the Maine Democrats to make sure we have accessible\, free and fair elections in Maine and show the country that citizens want to protect voting rights. \n\n\n\n\nGet more informaton

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:READINESS\, RESILIENCE\, AND RESISTANCE: A Workshop For What Lies Ahead
DESCRIPTION:In response to the U.S. becoming increasingly autocratic\, this two-hour workshop by the Boston Trainers Collective (BTC) provides a framework for building readiness and resilience as a foundation for long-term resistance\, personal and collective care\, and preparedness for other challenges that may lie ahead such as climate-related crises\, social unrest\, and economic volatility. Participants will leave with concrete steps that can be taken immediately to start building readiness and resilience as individuals\, organizations\, and communities. A one-hour de-escalation training will be paired with this workshop. \n\n\n\nResilience is the ability to adapt\, bounce back\, and grow from stress\, adversity\, and trauma. It involves developing skills\, behaviors\, and mindsets like healthy habits\, strong social connections\, and problem-solving. These elements allow individuals and communities to cope with challenges\, manage mental health\, and even use difficult experiences for personal growth. \n\n\n\nOur trainers will teach us about how to prepare ourselves\, emotionally and physically\, for the trump regime and what they are unleashing on our country. \n\n\n\nWe will also learn about de-escalation. Many of you have experienced an issue with an agitator during your demonstrations; we want to help you navigate those. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nDoors open at 9am. Please\, bring a friend or two! It’s a great workshop\, even for those not involved in a movement. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please feel free to email us at contact@indivisiblefitchburgma.org. \n\n\n\nJoin our Facebook page\, Indivisible Fitchburg MA for info and events! \n\n\n\nAs we continue to organize these events and initiatives\, we recognize that we can’t do it all on our own. We are hoping for your generous support through donations. If 30 people each contributed $10\, we would be able to cover much of our expenses (church rental space\, pizza\, refreshments\, small thank you gift for trainers\, etc) for the upcoming events. Every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated! Email contact@indivisiblefitchburgma.org for Venmo or mailing address. \n\n\n\nThank 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.
