What We Do
Consistent action: the key to effectively promoting progressive policies.
We take action on proposed legislation. We do this during the current legislative session by way of our statewide group, Washington Indivisible Network’s (WIN) platform, Take Action Network.
We endorse candidates for the upcoming election. We do this by vetting candidates who request our endorsement or who we identify as likely endorsees.
We work to Get Out the Vote (GOTV). We write postcards and letters to voters to encourage people to make their voices heard by voting. In addition, we wave our GOTV banner to remind voters of the upcoming election.
We make phone calls and meet with our elected officials. We contact our elected officials to raise issues of concern.
We plan and attend rallies and marches. We endeavor to shed light on important issues by staging rallies, marches and protests to let the public and our elected officials know we are listening. We also support other political action groups by attending and tabling at their events.
We attend town halls held by our local elected officials. Our senators and representatives regularly hold public in-district events to show that they are listening to constituents. We make sure our voices are heard by attending these events.
