WHAT DOES MEMBERSHIP ENTAIL?
Membership is largely defined by the interests and availability of each member. Members who have the time and interest are encouraged to join one of the Action Teams. Most Action Teams meet every couple of weeks to share research about their issue and identify how best we can bring about the change we want to see. They then come up with “actions” that the entire membership can participate in. Actions may be phone calls to our elected officials about current legislation (with names, phone numbers, and talking points to make it easy), rallies, lobbying events, opportunities to get involved in campaigns, and more. Members don’t need any specific expertise, just passion for the Action Team’s mission.
All members, whether they are on Action Teams or not, receive an email once a week with the actions that have been identified by either our Action Teams or the national Indivisible organization, so you can have confidence that your effort will be timely, meaningful, and appropriate to Howard County. It is up to individual members to decide which actions they will carry out. Our email updates also include information on events sponsored by other local progressive groups.
Each Action Team has one or two Facilitators who call meetings and help keep the team organized and on track. Organizational decisions are made collectively by all the Facilitators.
