Action 1: Text Bank for the IL Primary on Monday
The Illinois Primary is coming up on June 28th, and we're holding the last of our GOTV IndivisiText Zoom texting parties on June 27th for our Indivisible Chicago endorsed candidates Kina Collins (IL-07) and Delia Ramirez (IL-03). We hope you can join us us and become part of our 2022 Midterms texting team!
In 2020, you all helped us send 1.4 MILLION texts, a crucial part of winning many races during that election. The 2022 Midterms are now just a few months away, and we are ready to do it again -- we just need your help!
After signing up for our event, you will receive a confirmation email about registering for the texting party Zoom and how to sign up for our national texting platform, TextOut.
Need a refresher? Training will be included at the start of the event, and we’ll be on Zoom with you the whole time to help you respond to voters. Both new and veteran 2020 texters are all welcome, so join us to text out the vote and invite a friend!
To send texts with us you will need the following:
Computer: desktop, laptop, or (in some cases) tablet.
A stable internet connection with good audio and camera for Zoom.
A web browser - Chrome, Firefox, or Safari
Action 2: URGENT - Volunteer to Elect IL Progressives
We’re proud of the work we’ve done to rebuild the Midwest blue wall. But is it strong enough? We’re watching the Trumpies win primaries across the country. If we’re going to stop the GOP from pulling the country further to the right, we need to elect truly progressive candidates up and down the ballot here in our Blue Illinois. And that happens in the critical primary underway right now.
It's time to volunteer for Election Day work on June 28 and in this critical week/weekend leading into the in-precinct voting. Direct contact with voters is how we win. When it comes to our endorsed Congressional candidates Kina Collins (IL07) and Delia Ramirez (03), to know them is to love (and vote for) them. We just have to get the word out.
Join phone banks with Indivisible Chicago or individual campaigns, knock on doors with our canvass team or volunteer to be a “poll stander” passing out candidate literature at early voting sites and on Election Day. We have the tools, the times, the places, and the training to make it easy and rewarding for you.
Nothing we say can get you out for election work this week? We understand. So, how about this: resolve to triple your vote by informing two friends and ensuring they turn up to vote for progressives. Be a bundler from the comfort of your own home and boost voter turnout wherever your friends and family may live. But we’ll give you bonus points if you can boost turnout in Illinois 07 for Kina Collins and 03 for Delia Ramirez. Our candidate pages include maps of the 3rd district and the 7th district (scroll down) that will help you zero in on those voters within your networks.
Action 3: Indivisible Phone Banks Next Week
Monday and Thursday phone banks are a great place to start if you’re not a phone bank veteran. These “friends and family” calls target Indivisible Chicago members who have already volunteered for past campaign activities. They know what to do and how important it is that they do it. They just need a little nudge—from you. Sign up here for the shift(s) that fit your calendar. Once you’re trained, you can continue making calls on your own schedule.
While some of these Daily Actions come from our own work as Indivisible Chicago Alliance, others are from our many partners working to advance the progressive agenda. We invite you to join us in supporting their work. Postings from partners do not imply Indivisible Chicago Alliance endorsement of specific policies and positions.
