CHOP WOOD, CARRY WATER ACTIVIST TRAINING
………………………………………
Want to get politically involved but don’t know how to start? Here’s a workshop for you!
Activism 101 is a free, one-hour (ish) webinar for folks of varying levels of experience with activism and/or political action. It’s for folks who’ve never helped win *any* election, and for those who merely need a refresher on what actions work best. It’s a survey course with one goal: to give those who are frightened and anxious about the state of our country simple, bite-sized actions they can take to help hold the House, expand the Senate, win a bunch of statewide and down-ballot races, and basically make good things happen in November of 2022 and beyond. It’s offered by Jessica Craven, a mom, veteran activist, elected member of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, and author of daily political action email “Chop Wood, Carry Water.”
In the workshop Craven will go over several forms of “entry-level” actions, like postcarding, letter writing, text and friend banking, micro-fundraising, making SMART donations, phonebanking, and canvassing, and address some of the fears that keep us from doing these things. She’ll also explain why each and every person’s actions DO matter. Finally, she’ll give each participant a google doc packed with resources and opportunities to volunteer. The idea is for each participant to leave feeling empowered and clear on at least one small thing they can—and will!—do to help us win in November.

HELP GAIN ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC SENATOR - IN WISCONSIN!!
………………………………………
One of IndivisibleNOCO’s 2022 strategic goals is to “adopt” a state. Although we will be facing tough races in Colorado, we would like to do our bit to help the national landscape. We decided to “adopt” Wisconsin when we were presented with an opportunity to work with activists in the state.
Ron Johnson is polling low in Wisconsin and his Senate seat is considered vulnerable. The Democratic Party of Wisconsin (WisDems) analyzed the 2020 election and found that over 98% of people who requested absentee ballots voted. We can help unseat Ron Johnson by joining WisDems, Milwaukee, WI organization Grassroots Southshore, and Indivisible members in Illinois to make friendly phone calls to Wisconsin Democrats and help them request absentee ballots on their mobile phones or computers for all 2022 elections.
WisDems will provide training (less than an hour on ZOOM) and phone numbers (through an easy computer virtual phone bank with an on-screen script to follow). You just make calls - on your schedule or during group phone-banking events.
How to help …
Sign up for training and phone-banking sessions. After the training, you will receive a link to access the phone dialing system.
This easy and impactful effort could generate tens of thousands of votes. In a swing state like Wisconsin, we could help tip the balance to displace Ron Johnson in the U.S. Senate (and re-elect Governor Tom Evers).
