Indivisibles,
Indivisible is only as strong as the groups and individual activists we
support, and so we’re thrilled to announce that next month, 300 National
Campaigns Network (NCN)^[ [link removed] ] Indivisibles will be gathering in Virginia for
three action-packed days of training and advocacy!
Over the three days, the Indivisibles from NCN groups all over the country
will be talking about our two-year (plus!) strategy, and training each
other on crucial issues and tactics. Plus, we’ll be doing a major lobby
day in DC to put all that training into action.
Our mission is to make this gathering equitable and accessible to
brilliant group leaders, including those from far away. We plan to offer
thousands of dollars in financial assistance to folks who might not be
able to afford to make it otherwise and make it as affordable as possible
for everyone, and to ensure Indivisibles have everything we can offer to
make attending possible. But we need your help raising funds that can help
cover that financial aid, the rest of the gathering, and all of
Indivisible’s work:
[1]Can you contribute $10 to help us meet our goal of raising $55,926 this
week to help fund scholarships, the NCN Gathering in Virginia and all of
Indivisible Project’s crucial work?
What we’ll do together.
At the gathering, we will build a shared vision for the next phase of the
Indivisible movement, create new strategies, provide key training to build
power at home, and help others learn how to train. Here’s a quick snapshot
of a few of the many goals we have for the gathering:
* Discuss, strategize, and build a shared vision for our advocacy in
2020 and beyond, including crucial work on democracy reform and
immigration through the 2019 budget process.
* Help NCN leaders gain the necessary skills and knowledge to keep
building power back home, and the know-how to train other local group
members and activists. (We’ll focus a lot not just on learning skills
ourselves, but on practicing training others!)
* Build and deepen relationships among NCN group leaders and
Indivisible’s national staff. All of what we do works because we're a
united team, and we’ll only be successful when we know and trust each
other, nationwide!

What it takes.
We hear a lot that Indivisibles really want to know how their grassroot
gift might be put to use. And that makes sense -- everyone wants to know
that their money is going to something important. So here’s a snapshot of
some of our costs for the August NCN gathering. Just as a reminder -- this
isn’t every budget line item, but it gives you a good idea of the kinds of
things your gift is crucial to support!
Line item Cost
Venue, including hotel rooms for Indivisibles to sleep in for
their time in Arlington (yes, we are putting “sleep” on the $10,000
agenda! Self care is activism!)
Meals, snacks, and wages for food service staff who will keep
Indivisibles fueled up while we make game-changing plans to $140,000
save democracy
Financial assistance for Indivisibles who need a bit of help $60,000
make the journey
Printing key materials and resources for hundreds of $10,000
Indivisible leaders
It takes a ton of resources and planning to pull this off -- but we
believe, deeply, that it will pay off. So we’re hoping you’ll invest in
this gathering and in the work we do here at Indivisible around the clock
and across the country.
[ [link removed] ]Please pitch in $10 today to support Indivisible Project so we can
provide financial assistance to Indivisibles attending the NCN Gathering
and fund all our trainings and work! If just one out of every ten people
reading this email donate the price of a coffee, we’ll be able to hit our
$55,926 goal.
Thank you for investing to help us build the Indivisible movement.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
[1] Not sure what the NCN is? We’ve convened local Indivisible groups
committed to federal advocacy and national actions into the National
Campaigns Network, a cohort of groups working with organizers to build our
strategy and coordinate on critical opportunities. Any group can apply to
join the NCN if they feel that work is a priority for their members! Want
