Action 1: Canvass for Bring Chicago Home
Despite a legal challenge by the real estate lobby, the Bring Chicago Home referendum is still on the ballot while the case plays out in court. Please help us dispel the confusion that our opponents are trying to create and get the word to voters that they can still VOTE YES on BCH and a fairer future. The measure would lower the transaction tax on most properties while raising it for properties sold for more than $1 million to create a fund to meaningfully address homelessness in our city.
We’re also supporting an inspiring State Senate candidate in the 20th District, Graciela Guzman, a community activist who has spearheaded policy campaigns on healthcare, economic justice, child welfare and immigration. Her primary opponent, appointed by party ward bosses, is well-funded by entrenched interests opposed to progressive leaders like Graciela.
Already, Indivisible Chicago activists have made thousands of phone calls to support BCH and knocked doors to spread the word about both the ballot referendum and Graciela. Join us to get BCH and Graciela Guzman over the finish line.
Indivisible Chicago canvassers will be meeting up in Belmont-Cragin the next three Sundays at 1:00 p.m. SIgn up using the links below and you'll be sent the meet-up location:
Action 2: Learn How to Register Wisconsin Voters
Here’s a great way to increase Dem turnout in Wisconsin. The Milwaukee Voter Project (MVP) is a grassroots group of non-partisan volunteers who work to ensure that all citizens, especially those in underserved communities, are registered to vote and aware of upcoming elections. They register voters in warm, indoor offices (DMVs) in Milwaukee’s disadvantaged neighborhoods. The people there have their IDs with them and time on their hands as they wait in lines, so a 3-hour shift can be quite productive. This has been a very successful program and rightfully popular with Indivisible Chicagoans.
The first step is to attend a simple one-hour Zoom training:
Monday, March 4 at 3:30pm - 4:30pm
Tuesday, March 12 at 7:00pm - 8:00pm
