Professional mediator Vanessa Linsey headlines Indivisible Winchester’s speaker series with a lively, interactive communication workshop. In this 90-minute session inspired by Indivisible’s “Truth Brigade,” attendees will learn positive approaches to political conversation at a time of unprecedented polarization and disinformation.
Attendees will understand how to recognize disinformation, when to engage (and when NOT to), and what they can do to change the dynamic through truthful, firm, and friendly conversation tactics. Attendees may role-play de-escalation, practice finding common ground, focus on fact sharing, experiment with “stop and think” questions, and try drafting social media comments. Staying composed during rapid response moments is easier said than done, and this hands-on session will prepare attendees to communicate effectively and positively.
About the presenter: Vanessa is a Cornell-trained family mediator who has logged many thousands of hours facilitating interpersonal conflict. Her engaging communication workshops feature mindfulness-based approaches to mutual understanding. Vanessa is a mother of several and author of a prescriptive memoir on mindfulness.
Please RSVP if you plan to attend, and cancel your RSVP if your plans change. Since this is an interactive workshop, we need to be sure that we are not under or over subscribed. Confirmations will be required before the event. We really appreciate your understanding.
A 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.

Carlos Zapata Rivera, the man who was violently arrested in Fitchburg with his baby in the car Nov 6, has a check-in appointment at the ICE office at 10AM tomorrow. With the help of the ACLU, he is suing ICE. The ACLU has reached out and asked if we could be there early. We will be there and set up at 9:30AM. He will go in for his appointment. We will likely carry on with our program (time uncertain) – but break immediately if we hear resolution. Of course, we have no idea when that may happen, so we will have to play it by ear. If you cannot make it early, we understand, we will still be there at 11AM. Link to the original story. ACLU press release.

Act On MASS is revamping their popular workshop, State House 201! They will review the basics of state house ins-and-outs, which you may recognize from a previous workshop or a Saturday Scoop. Then, they will cover some additional tools for being an engaged constituent, including navigating the website, where to look for your representative’s votes, and how to counteract “legisplaining” when speaking with your representative. Wondering how to take advantage of new transparency rules to hold your rep accountable? Sign up for State House 201 and reserve your spot today!

Celebrate our twenty-fifth week standing up for due process rights on Saturday, December 20 from 1-3 PM at Plymouth County Corrections Center.
Cookies, cocoa, hand warmers and due process signs will be provided.
Visit our Witness Wednesday page HERE for parking details and more information.
December 17, 2025 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST
Please note there will NOT be a Witness Wednesday on Wednesday the 24th or Wednesday the 31st. We look forward to checking back in during the month of January about the status of these standouts! We anticipate that they will continue through January, weather permitting.
The Massachusetts Constitution guarantees equal protection under all laws to all people, regardless of nationality, citizenship, or immigration status. When due process is denied to any group, it weakens the rule of law for all of us. The League of Women Voters supports due process for all persons, including the right to a fair hearing, the right to counsel, the right of appeal, and the right to humane treatment, and that no person or group should suffer legal discrimination.
Join us for Witness Wednesdays starting July 23 from 1:00-2:00 PM at Plymouth County Correctional Facility, where we will peacefully protest against due process violations and show support for ICE detainees.
Safety Note
This is a heavy traffic intersection. We will follow safety protocols to avoid blocking street traffic. Review LWV peaceful protest guidance HERE. We will only be gathering along the sidewalk and grassy areas outside of the Facility and along the Sheriff’s office.
Logistics
Signs: We will have due process rights signs available. You are welcome to bring your own signs focusing on policies and not people.
Messaging: Due to our nonpartisan nature and to ensure a coordinated effort, we ask that all signs focus on issues related to supporting or advocating for immigrant communities and focus on due process or immigration policies. Anyone who arrives with a sign focusing on a particular politician, candidate, or party may be asked to remove their signage.
Parking is available at the Home Depot parking lot or the shopping plazas off of Long Pond Road in Plymouth. Please do not park at the Sheriff’s office or police station.
Amenities are available at the Shell Gas Station and Alltown Fresh Gas Station, both on Long Pond Road.
