The American people, by huge numbers in every poll, want and expect Congress to pass some version of the DREAM Act and create a permanent solution that allows Dreamers to stay in this country, putting them on a path to citizenship. Let's get our MoCs on the phone and tell them to get back to work on this vital issue!
Indivisible: Conejo activists LOVE postcard parties, and the Nov. 7 election in Virginia offers us a chance to put our creative talents to work once again -- this time at Pitfire Artisan Pizza in Westlake Village! We'll also be sending cards to members of the CA state assembly's Select Committee discussing the Healthy California Act.
The race for Governor and for the legislature is vitally important: they who control the state control who votes. We need a blue Virginia in November of 2018. We'll train extensively both on phone skills and the candidates. Sign up here for your shift, and thank you!
We in the Conejo Valley have been given an easy way to do our part in this fight. We all live fifteen minutes away from the 25th District, represented by Congressman Steve Knight, considered the most vulnerable of the California Republican Caucus. Why is he so vulnerable? Because his district is just 15 minutes from activists like us...and because groups like the Simi Valley Democratic Club are working hard to register voters. Our work is cut out for us: to have their back.
Please join Indivisible: Coneo as we support the Simi Valley Democratic Club on their monthly Day of Action on Saturday, October 28th.
Please join us! You'll receive the address after you RSVP.

Time to get voters to the polls in Virginia's mid-term elections! The race for Governor and for the legislature is vitally important: they who control the state control who votes. We need a blue Virginia in November of 2018. We'll train extensively both on phone skills and the candidates. Sign up here for your shift, and thank you!
Where will YOU be on Nov. 6, 2018? Next month's general meeting will focus on our planning for that day next fall, and for the days from now until then. Join us, and learn what you can do for your country over the next year! We’ll also host a discussion of strategies for nonviolent protest -- and stick around after the meeting for a phone bank and postcard party!
Coastal Californians, come with #blue22canvass on our fifth monthly canvass to help register voters in the 22nd California Congressional District - that's right, the district of the un-recusably awful Congressman Devin Nunes!
For the 11/11 & 12 canvass, we'll be registering voters at the Visalia Veteran's Day Parade as guests of the Tulare County Democratic Club! We'll also have walking canvass shifts with NextGen, so that we can get out to the unregistered voters in the county. For a tentative timeline for the weekend, check out the RSVP form.
Even as our Issue Action Teams lead the way in preparing for our "365 Days To Victory!" general meeting on Nov. 4, Indivisible: Conejo had much to celebrate this week. A fundraising initiative for Sherman Alexie's "Part-Time Indian" forced CVUSD to fund purchases of the book itself, while participation in our phone banks reached new heights. Read all about it in this week's newsletter!
It's been a week of excitement, challenges and transition for Indivisible: Conejo and its activists. We're getting ready for our November 4 General Meeting; we're planning more Phone Banks and Postcard Parties(!) to reach Virginia voters; our Issue Teams are picking up the pace; and lots more. Check it all out!
The week began with heartbreak, and ended with action, both on sensible gun control and a host of issues from DACA to healthcare. Read on for how to take action in the face of overwhelming Republican disregard for life.
Rep. Julia Brownley joined us for a healthcare rally last Saturday, and we won that fight (temporarily) on Tuesday when Republicans pulled their last-ditch repeal bill. Extremists on the CVUSD board are at it again, necessitating more Indivisible activism. And we're calling in the California Cavalry to help flip Virginia's legislature this November! Read all about it in this week's newsletter.
We had some wins last week, and we should celebrate. Then we need to get back to work, because we're again in the fight of our lives on healthcare...
Indivisible: Conejo had a big week: Our September General Meeting was an all-star assemblage of local elected officials, who offered moving and insightful stories about their careers in public service. After one last week of advocacy, the California Values Act passed the Assembly - and Jacqui Irwin voted YES! Read all about it...
Now that Gov. Brown has added law enforcement-friendly amendments to the bill limiting state agencies’ cooperation with President Trump’s radical immigration policies, it is time for Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin to loosen her ties to Sheriff Geoff Dean, get off the fence, and join the mainstream of Californians supporting the California Values Act.
Indivisible: Conejo activists rallied to support our community's DREAMers as the White House repealed DACA this week. The repeal puts additional pressure on California legislators and the Governor to pass SB54. We'll continue to lobby through post card parties and calls through the vote, expected next week. Plus, our General Meeting this Sunday is full, and we're looking forward to learning more both about how to run for office, and how to support those that do.
Immigrants' Rights once again take center stage, in California and across the nation, in the coming weeks -- and Indivisible: Conejo is fighting for SB 54, CA's "Sanctuary State" bill, as well as the DREAMers whose protections under DACA are being threatened by Trump. Plus, a big name is added to the star-studded lineup for our September General Meeting!
