(81,511 posts)There will be people in that group whose involvement is active rather than passive. These are the folks who are wired in on local groups, campaigns, fellow activists, and events. And letter-writing campaigns, postcard parties (to the reps and/or voters in other states) and direct in-person outreach either ringing doorbells in your neighborhood or setting up voter registration tables at the local farmers markets, or scheduling meet-ups with local politicians or assembling weekly call to action mass emails to the membership.
As Ive discovered, there are many members of these Indivisible groups who are ALSO members of other groups - several local Democratic clubs, organizations like Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, or Citizens Climate Lobby, or immigrants rights groups. Every single person in these groups is committed to positive change, blocking all things trump, theyre informed, determined, creative, and connected.
And theyre some really nice people, to boot. Theyll welcome you aboard and offer you lots of interesting and productive things to do.

Will you be staying for more than a day?
