During our last public meeting attendees talked about their most important issues and concerns. Based on what was emphasized most, the Steering Committee suggests starting with the following three groups:
Citizen Education
- Voter registration
- Misinformation
- Petition drives to establish ballot initiatives
- Civics education
Some ideas to work on these areas:
- Many of the above will be incorporated into tabling events. This group would be responsible for suggesting and arranging such events within the communities of Lake, Porter and LaPorte counties.
- We have a wheel that we often used at tabling events in 2024 to help educate people about great legislation that was passed during the Biden Administration. We can use that same wheel to make games that teach about misinformation, civic education and voter information.
- This group may also work with groups and schools to teach civics
- They will also work to teach about how to find accurate information and why that’s important.
- They may also work with Indivisible National’s Truth Brigade that also works to dispel lies and disperse truth.
Community Outreach
- Suggest volunteer opportunities within the communities we serve, set them up and recruit Indivisibles to volunteer.
- Attend meetings of other progressive grassroots organizations in the area, exchange information and cooperate on projects.
- Attend school/town/city board/council meetings and report back. Indivisible NWI will be a presence within each community.
- Suggest and communicate calls to action
Progressive Power
- Research candidates for the national and state democratic party chairs, report back to the group
- Create calls to action for supporting candidates of choice.
- Support women’s reproductive freedom in every way we can, both statewide and nationally.
- Work on improving women’s health care state and nationwide. Create calls to action at the state and federal levels.
- Identify, support and create actions for other issues of concern, including education, book banning, LGBTQ+ and much more.
The work continues. We will meet at least monthly, sometimes more often. Please sign up for our newsletter and follow us on Facebook and BlueSky for meeting info, updates and calls to action.
