Are you Indivisible? Do you need help fighting Trumps agenda?

[sarah FAILIN]

Everyone knows Alabama is the deepest red state there is, but we are fighting back. I've recently joined the Indivisible group that was formed in my congressional district. I'm still learning about what they're doing, but it looks like a good strategy to fight Trump. They're taking a lot of lessons from what was done to Obama and working on what to do after that. They posted this link that I wanted to share here, because we can all get good ideas on how to fight this as far as what works and what doesn't.

Hope this helps others looking to organize their resistance. If Alabama dems can try to organize, lots of other dems can too.

Hopefully there is a group near you!

3. If you can't find one, START ONE!

Join what is available to have a large group, but if there isn't one don't let this stop you.

8. If you can't find one for your district, join another district

It helps if you are on Facebook

Four districts in my county each have their own group.

are 3 groups!

5. I'm really getting excited

We had nobody to talk to other than those in our families before and these guys are really getting things going. I'm learning a lot about what works.

6. I just e-mailed to one of the 3 groups

listed. I'm really interested in joining (starting?) street corner demonstrations in my area.

11. YAY!!!!

15. I'm going to a meeting of one of the groups

tomorrow evening. Will try to bring my one (that I know about) pair of Dem neighbors.

Another of the chapters of this Indivisible organization staged a 150-200 person demo at the office where Sen. Jeff Flake sends a legislative aide once a month right here in my very red senior community. I didn't know about it until I got my local paper yesterday.

I hope you find a group near you!

9. It has helped me

You know how alcoholics say they need AA.

We may not carry the mid-terms, Trump may prevail in 2020, but I feel like I've got my sanity. I feel like I've got some direction instead of a bunch of anxiety and hair on fire feelings. It feels good to do something constructive. I'm learning how to advocate and I'm getting in the habit of contacting my R senators. My next big nervous step is to visit Cruz and Cornyn's office. Some of our group get together and visit them in small groups.

10. Look for groups in your area to pair with

Read the first link for starter ideas. This is just the kind of thing we need to help us get started. We can't wait around till 2018 and hope it all works out.
