It’s been a wild couple of years of resistance for us all. As we prepare for next year, when so much will change because of the Democratic House majority, we want to take time to reflect on our work and plan for the future.
Here at the Indivisible SF editorial team, we’ve been working hard to provide newsletters and a website that help you stay informed and active. As we head into the uncharted waters of 2019, we hope you’ll take a minute to let us know how we are doing and how we can improve.
We invite you to please take five minute survey here and let us know what you think!

Join us at this week’s Indivisible SF General Meeting on Sunday, December 16, 4-6pm at St. Mark’s Church - Urban Life Center. We will have three breakouts:
- Members of Congress Working Group: working with our leaders in DC to build progressive power and resist the Republican agenda. As constituents of Nancy Pelosi, the next Speaker of the House, we have a unique opportunity and lots of preparation to do.
- State and Local Working Group: building state advocacy. We have a Democratic trifecta in Sacramento and here in San Francisco which gives us the opportunity to make meaningful change and model progressivism for the rest of the country.
- Actions and Events Working Group: getting creative about standing up, speaking out and social activism.

Support asylum-seekers. Volunteers and donations are needed at the border right now. This resource list outlines practical ways you can help asylum-seekers who are travelling in the caravan or waiting to cross the border as well as new immigrants newly granted entrance to the U.S. It also offers ways that you can fight the institutional injustices that are driving people to seek asylum here.
Help Camp Fire victims. A makeshift shelter at Chico’s East Ave Church has been housing about 200 evacuees and providing medical care. Many of the evacuees there are elderly or require medical attention, and the church is accepting donations to help offset costs for prescription medicines and other health care needs through its website.
GoFundMe has also set up a page listing the crowdfunding campaigns for the Camp Fire.
The North Valley Community Foundation has two funds: The Camp Fire Evacuation Relief Fund and the Butte County Schools Fire Relief Fund. Donors can make an open gift to the school fund, or designate a specific use, like textbooks or school supplies. Donations are accepted through the foundations’ website.
For more information on how to donate these, see this article.
