Hey Indivisibles,
It’s safe to say these past few months have been historic -- since taking
back the White House, Indivisible activists and leaders like you have been
hard at work fighting for COVID-19 relief, D.C. statehood, and democracy
reform at large.
Rather than our usual Monday newsletter, this week we, the Indivisible
Training Team, are taking over to check in with you, let you know about
some upcoming training sessions, and make sure you know how to contact us.
Our job is to run free (always free!) trainings that support the
Indivisible Movement and make sure activists across the country have all
the tools you need to make lasting changes.
We’ve already met many of you and have worked together already, making
sure everyone has the training and knowledge we need to accomplish our
bold advocacy goals this year. For others, this may be the first time
you’ve heard about us -- it’s great to meet you!
We’re excited to share with you what we’ve been up to this year so far,
what’s coming up in the next few months, and how you can stay in contact
with us to get updates on upcoming training events.
So, what have we been up to so far this year?
* On January 31st over 1,200 Indivisible activists and leaders from
across the country attended the We Won, What’s Next? Strategy Session,
where we planned together on what should come next for our movement.
* 750 of us have come together to continue our learning (and unlearning)
around race, equity, and inclusion.
* We also brushed up on how to use our social media for social change,
with not one but two social media training series involving over
700 Indivisibles.
And we’re just getting started! Here is what’s coming up over the summer:
Distributed Technology Training Day (this weekend!)
[ [link removed] ]Saturday, May 22 beginning at 3:00 pm Eastern Time / 12:00 pm Pacific
Time
We’ll go in-depth on using Indivisible tools, including the specific
technology that will assist your on-the-ground organizing, dive into how
to create a digital organizing plan, and more. We invite group leaders,
members, and activists to take part. This virtual gathering will be a
jam-packed half-day training filled with sessions designed for all
activists across the network, and we hope you’re able to join!
Building Inclusive Groups
[ [link removed] ]Tuesday, June 8 at 8:00 pm Eastern Time / 5:00 pm Pacific Time
[ [link removed] ]Thursday, June 10 at 3:00 pm Eastern Time / 12:00 pm Pacific Time
The January 6 insurrection was more than an attack on our Capitol and
our democracy. It was an opening salvo on increased attacks on Black and
Brown people by the Republican Party. Now more than ever, it is critical
that Indivisible groups build strong inclusive communities that reflect
the mosaic of our country. In this webinar, we’ll be covering what it
means to organize from an anti-racist perspective, the impact of white
privilege and white supremacy in team dynamics, and how to co-create an
inclusive group.
Unpacking Deep Canvassing Training series w/ Indivisible’s Rural Caucus
[ [link removed] ]Every Wednesday in June starting at 8:00 pm Eastern Time / 5:00 pm
Pacific Time
Join us for a training series on the listening, curiosity, conversation,
and practical skills needed to successfully have deep canvassing
conversations to move folks toward progressive values and action in your
community. This is a 4-part series of sessions that build on each other
-- please join us for all four if you can, but drop-ins are also
welcome!
State Legislative Advocacy Series: Advocacy in a Pandemic
[ [link removed] ]Monday, June 7th at 8:00 pm Eastern Time / 5:00 pm Pacific Time
COVID-19 has impacted our communities in immeasurable ways, and
highlighted how important it is for us to continue advocating for
legislation that will help our communities. Attend this webinar to learn
tactics you can use to keep up the pressure, while staying safe.
