Meet the LD28 Candidates THIS Tuesday!

Meet Rep. Mari Leavitt, running for her second term for Position 1 in LD28! She defeated an incumbent Republican in 2018 and already has established a strong record of action in the WA Legislature these last two years. We were sorry to lose Rep. Christine Kilduff who decided not to run again, but she is endorsing Dan Bronoske, a West Pierce County Fire Fighter for her Rep. Position 2 in LD28. And we introduce T’wina Nobles from the UP School Board who is stepping up to challenge Republican Steve O’Ban for State Senate!
LD28 could go either way. Let’s turn it completely blue!
Please pre-register early to make sure you get the link to get in to the LD28 Town Hall: RegisterHERE (https://bit.ly/LD28_TownHall)
Indivisible Presidential Candidate Endorsement

A Message from Indivisible National…

A year ago we launched the Indivisible pledge, signed by every major Democratic primary candidate, which committed us to backing the ultimate nominee. Many of us were championing other candidates, but Biden is the presumptive nominee.

Every Indivisible member can have a voice in the process.
Registration will be open until, Monday, April 27th, 9PM PDT. Follow this link HERE (https://act.indivisible.org/signup/endorsement-signup-form/) to register.

After registering, you will receive a form to vote. Voting will be open until May 3rd, and an endorsement will be announced on May 4th if 60% or more vote to endorse.

Counting Down– Just a Few More Weeks for the Indivisible National Fundraising Match!

We’re about half-way towards our goal. Though we continue to operate with 100% volunteer staff, we do not have monthly income right now from our general meetings while routine expenses continue. In these times, that means things like providing video conferencing software so our teams can organize across social distance, printing and our website costs.

Please see our full Fundraising Match Letter HERE (https://mailchi.mp/e6ff2be8693f/tricky-intiatives-1543504)

Now is the time to support Indivisible Tacoma as we build our power and gear up for the year. Please consider making a contribution today HERE (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/indivisiblet400045610?refcode=nav_bar) . (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/indivisiblet400045610?refcode=nav_bar)

During election years, Indivisible Tacoma normally convenes big monthly meetings with candidates.
Since we can’t meet them face-to face, we are presenting them online. We are proud to have initiated a collaboration with Indivisible chapters all over the state and the Washington State Indivisible Podcast to produce the Town Hall Series. We’ll see statewide candidates once each month and Legislative or Congressional candidates on the other Tuesdays. How do we mobilize and capture voters’ attention in such a crucial year?

Mark your calendar for this coming week!

Prioritize a coronavirus People’s Bailout.
We need a package that prioritizes protecting our democratic systems, providing accessible health care for all, and direct economic support to everyone.

This Earth Week, the importance of nature— providing clean air & water, home for wildlife & places to retreat— is especially clear. Scientists say to protect nature and fight the climate crisis, we must protect 30% of lands & water by 2030.
