Indivisible St Johns Newsletter Week of October 13, 2019

 YOUR WEEKLY RESISTANCE NEWSLETTER

WEEK OF OCTOBER 13, 2019

We're gonna be frank. We need some help from you. We understand

you get way too many requests to do something, somewhere, sometime. We've had a busy year with a small but dedicated team

of leaders. For the last few newsletters, we've asked for you to email

us to help us out. No one has responded. For a reminder, we're listing

most of the things we've brought to you this year. Some are missing in

the blur of activity everywhere. It takes thought, time and energy to make these happen. We will not be able to sustain this pace without your help. Consider what just 3-4 people pulled off this year:

If there are other things you want, tell us. We tried to respond to everyone's requests this year. We will not be able to do this level of activity unless we get your help. Don't assume someone else will 

sign up. They don't. It's on all of us to continue the resistance. Please.

your state legislators to vote on issues important to us as UUs.  

The next day we meet with our legislators or their staff in their offices.

and have found it a very interesting, informative experience.  

The antidote to despair is action – 

and actions such as this can be very healing.

Blue Wave Coalition of St. Johns County Fall NPA Outreach Canvass St. Johns County has nearly as many non-party affiliated (NPA) voters  as Democrats, but many of them are left-leaning. Join us as  we reach out to left-leaning NPAs  and offer them the opportunity to change parties so they can vote in the  March Presidential Preference Primary!   As a canvasser, you will be paired with another person and visit  just 20 homes of targeted voters.  All training and materials will be provided, along with  snacks and refreshments.  We will use a strategy that will help us first identify whether the voter  is a Trump supporter. If they are not, we'll remind them that Florida  is a closed primary state and if they would like to help Democrats  pick someone to oppose him, they need to register as a DEM.    We will have voter registration forms on hand to facilitate party changes. We are likely to have some pretty interesting conversations!  Let's have fun experimenting with this strategy -- Blue Tsunami's all around  for returning canvassers!  Date: 10/26/2019 (Sat.) Time: 9:00am - 12:00pm EDT Location: 143 Appaloosa Avenue, St Augustine FL 32095 SIGN UP HERE __________________________________________ AND FINALLY, NEVER FORGET  YOU CAN  GIVE SOMEONE HOPE:
