Free (always free!) trainings that support the Indivisible Movement 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!)
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
Tuesday, June 8 at 8:00 pm Eastern Time / 5:00 pm Pacific Time
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.

Monday, June 7th at 8:00 pm Eastern Time / 5:00 pm Pacific Time
