Weekly Update 3/25/19
Hello, Friends.
We need to see the Mueller Report. Trump appointed William Barr as Attorney General so that he could whitewash the report’s conclusions, and so far he is doing an excellent job. But there’s a reason we campaigned so hard for Democrats to take over the House of Representatives, and we need them to exercise their oversight powers to make sure the full report doesn’t get buried. Call your Members of Congress and tell them to demand the full report. Representative Doris Matsui:(916) 498-5600 If you’d like to read a little more about what Indivisible is doing, you can check out the “Mueller Time” feature of the website. Also take a moment to read this piece by Sasha Abramsky in the Sacramento News and Review, which features reactions from several Indivisible Sacramento members. Medicare for All Presentation Mark April 10th on your calendar. From 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., local progressive groups will be meeting for a discussion on Medicare for All led by a team of legal interns with the California Nurses Association. A big focus will be discussion how universal Medicare would help remedy health disparities in California. It will be held at the Fruitridge Community Collaborative (4625 44th Street). Fast Track to Carbon Zero April figures to be a banner month for in-depth issue discussions. On Saturday, April 13th, a top local environmental group, 350 Sacramento, is holding a forum on climate change called Fast Track to Carbon Zero. The event will be held at Sacramento City College. It’s an all day event, which means you have a chance to participate in a very in-depth discussion of the most important challenge to our planet. Lunch will be provided. Find details at the event website. Hosting and Sponsoring Asylum Seekers If you want to make a difference in a very personal way, please attend NorCal Resist’s discussion about Hosting, Sponsoring, and Supporting Asylum Seekers. Featured speakers include Rebecca Merton of Freedom for Immigrants and a number of families who will share their experiences with opening their homes to refugees. This event takes place on Wednesday, April 3rd from 6:00 to 8:00 at Sol Collective, 2574 21st Street. Make a Difference with a Donation Have some extra money that you’re itching to get rid of? No problem. We have two great suggestions. First consider donating to the Unify or Die fund. This fund will be awarded to the campaign of whichever candidate wins the Democratic nomination so they can take down Trump. Whatever happens in the primaries, we will be united behind that candidate, so why not chip in a few bucks now? Indivisible Sacramento also humbly asks for your donations. We have an Act Blue page of our own where you can contribute to our group account. Our primary expense is room rental for our meetings, and we also have other incidental expenses incurred when we hold events. If you donate during the month of April, Indivisible national will match your donation to our local group! |
