ORGANIZATIONS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS
It's Blue Turn
We are a group of dedicated volunteers who've been meeting since 2016 to advance our democracy through civic action and resistance. We've already reached a million voters through letters, postcards, calls, and texts and are continuing to resist Trump's destruction of America through driving electoral change, protecting voting rights, fighting disinformation, building pro-democracy infrastructure in rural districts, creating art against the power grab, and more.
We welcome newbies and introverts, and anyone within driving distance of Mountain View, CA (we have members from Gilroy to Napa)! We host weekly and monthly events, we take direct action at protests and rallies, we chat, eat and watch debates, we celebrate wins and discuss the best way forward. As one of the oldest Indivisible groups on the Peninsula, we hold the most in-person events.
