SUMMARY:Bridging the Political Divide: Tools for Constructive Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the monthly meeting of the Indivisible Westford Progressive Massachusetts chapter. This month: \n\n\n\nBridging the Political Divide: Tools for Constructive Conversations \n\n\n\nDemocracy runs on the open exchange of ideas\, but it’s not always easy. We can’t change minds overnight\, but with the right tools we CAN build greater understanding\, and earn the respect of people with a range of political views. \n\n\n\nCome and share your personal experiences on what works and what doesn’t and get some expert advice. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nWe’re thrilled to host Alix Smullin\, one of the founders of Swing Left North Shore/Cape Ann who has extensive experience with voter outreach. \n\n\n\nAlix has been talking politics for many years\, both professionally and as a volunteer. She’ll show us how it’s done\, with concrete examples and suggestions for having better conversations. She will also fill us in on Swing Blue’s Ground Truth program\, which is using some of these techniques to improve political outcomes.

SUMMARY:Rise Up\, Sing Out-Find One Near You
DESCRIPTION:Trump will be marking his birthday once again with made-for-tv spectacle. This time\, instead of emulating dictators with a military parade\, he’ll be playing Roman emperor with a cage match for his amusement at the White House. \n\n\n\nThe Committee for the First Amendment\, with enthusiastic support from the No Kings Coalition\, will be counterprogramming his little stunt with a nationally livestreamed concert featuring prominent activists and musicians.  \n\n\n\nBut ours won’t be mere spectacle. We’re inviting folks to host house parties around the country to build local power around anti-authoritarian defiance. Lots of Indivisible groups already have events planned\, but you don’t need to be a group leader to invite a few friends over and use our organizing toolkit to plan local actions.  \n\n\n\nAnd for those who tune in on their own\, we’ll be offering calls to action around voting\, election protection\, and defense of our First Amendment rights.  \n\n\n\n\nWatch from Home\n\n\n\nHost a Watch Party\n\n\n\n\nYou can find more info at the Rise Up and Sing Out website. \n\n\n\nNote:  Many of these events are taking place in private homes.  If you don’t see one near you\, reach out to your local Indivisible. \n\n\n\n\nActon/Littleton\n\n\n\n\n\nBillerica\n\n\n\n\n\nBoston/Roslindale/West Roxbury\n\n\n\n\n\nBrockton\n\n\n\n\n\nCanton\n\n\n\n\n\nEaston\n\n\n\n\n\nFairhaven\n\n\n\n\n\nHudson\n\n\n\n\n\nMelrose\n\n\n\n\n\nNewburyport\n\n\n\n\n\nNorfolk\n\n\n\n\n\nNorwood\n\n\n\n\n\nSalem\n\n\n\n\n\nWayland\n\n\n\n\n\nWellesley

SUMMARY:Singing for our Neighbors:  Benefit for CASA
DESCRIPTION:Fabulous folk artists and dear friends Sue Horowitz & Eric Kilburn are raising their voices to raise much-needed funds to support our immigrant neighbors! Eric & Sue offer this double album release concert of Eric’s new album “Passages” and Sue’s new album “Rainy Nights and Rearview Windows.” All proceeds go to Casa (Metrowest Worker Center). Join us to enjoy an evening of heart-stirring\, thought-provoking\, toe-tapping music together\, as we build communal support and power together to fund critical services for MetroWest immigrant families.  Please donate generously\, whether or not you plan to attend! This concert is cosponsored by Sudbury United Methodist Church and Temple Beth Am of Framingham. \n\n\n\nMetrowest Worker Center – Casa is an immigrant worker-led organization which responds to the myriad needs of immigrants and their families in these troubled times. Casa provides critical support for detainees and their families\, legal services\, housing needs\, food\, medical care and associated costs\, transportation\, emotional support\, and other everyday needs. All proceeds from this event will directly benefit our immigrant neighbors. \n\n\n\nSue Horowitz With a voice as warm as honey whiskey\, and a vibe as confident as a tree with deep roots\, Sue Horowitz writes songs about everyday struggles and joys and makes them meaningful and resonant. Her stories in song are poignant\, heart-felt\, hilarious\, rousing\, timely and timeless. In addition to her solo career\, Sue has joined forces with the rising Ithaca-based band Autumn Sun. \n\n\n\nWith one foot planted firmly in the spiritual Jewish music world\, and the other in the singer-songwriter world\, Sue has over 20 years of national touring experience\, from large festivals to congregations to intimate house concerts. This York Beach\, ME artist has 6 albums of original music\, and her latest albums “Rainy Nights and Rearview Windows” and “Strings\, Wings\, and Curious Things\,” topped the Folk Radio charts. Sue’s sound is a blend of American and Folk\, while also drawing influences from blues and classic rock\, making each song unique. More about Sue \n\n\n\nEric Kilburn’s songs run the gamut from poignant to hilarious\, from the personal to the political. He’s got a knack for simple insights that sneak up on you. Eric’s been writing and performing music since college\, but he got serious in 1981\, when Pete Seeger heard his music and encouraged him to create more songs. \n\n\n\nOver the past forty-five years he’s toured extensively around the eastern U.S.\, released seven critically acclaimed albums\, and co-parented two beautiful sons. His latest album Passages\, (released in February 2026)\, reflects on people and cultures going through changes and has generated rave reviews and extensive folk radio airplay. More about Eric \n\n\n\n\nChoose the Ticket amount or Donate

SUMMARY:Gun Violence Prevention on the Ballot
DESCRIPTION:You’ve probably seen signature collectors out in force for the ten campaigns currently collecting to get questions on the November ballot. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut what you need to remember is that there are *11* potential questions\, as one question is already guaranteed a spot on the ballot. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThat’s because the gun lobby in the state collected signatures for a referendum on MA’s 2024 gun safety omnibus bill. It’s critical to remember as well that you vote YES to keep the law. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut what’s in the bill anyway? And why is this so important? Join us on Monday\, June 15\, at 7 pm to learn more about the Vote Yes for a Safe MA campaign and how to get involved. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP for Details\n\n\n\n\n\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:Strategic Thinking: Key Races Democrats Must Win in November
