Actions for Indivisible Week of Action August 17-23

Dear Friends,

Happy Week of Action!  You are invited to participate in a smorgasbord of actions this week as we push towards the November 3rd election.

Wait a minute, you say, what about the Post Office? Aren't we concerned about the post office?  Of course we are because we are worried about how that impacts the Vote By Mail push.  I could write an entire action list about the USPS but instead, I’ll include a link and ask you to go over to the blog and read more about what we can do to save the USPS.

Well, there’s a new bill to support. There's a chance to call Mitch McConnell’s office and demand that he pushes through the Heroes Act with funding support for the USPS. And there’s even a protest this next Saturday, at your local post office. There’s so much information with all the possibilities (including writing the  USPS Board of Governors) that I created a blog post. Please go read that post.

And this week, the week of action? There are so many possibilities, from texting to tweeting, to writing postcards, to protesting in person. And also watching the Democratic National Convention.  I’ve included links to everything in the schedule for the week  (If a link is missing it’s because I don’t have it yet.)

I’d like to see you this week. Stop by our Coffee Klatch on Tuesday, our Happy Hour on Friday, or our Postcard Party on Saturday, if you can.

Schedule for this week. Yep. There’s lots to do this week. It’s our Week of Action from Indivisible. Here are some things you can decide to do. And I have included all the links.
