Group Leader Toolkit: District Offices

  You’re ready to take action to stop the Trump agenda, and you’ve found others who are ready to act with you. Now it’s time to channel that energy towards making your Members of Congress (MoCs) listen.

Group Leader Toolkit: Media

Get familiar with local reporters: As news stories come out, keep an eye out for the local newspaper reporters that write about your Member of Congress the most.

Group Leader Toolkit: Legal Warning

You wouldn’t be standing indivisible if you didn’t have strong progressive values, rooted in an inclusive and respectful vision of our country. If you follow those values, it is a lot less likely that you’ll accidentally say or do something you don’t intend.

How To Get Press To Cover Your Event

As we wrote in the original Indivisible Guide, Members of Congress (MoC) care enormously about maintaining a good image in their hometown media. They want to appear in-touch, well-liked and competent. They want to highlight their work on certain policy issues whenever possible—and they’d never talk about some policy issues at all, if they had their way! Splashy cable TV shows are nice, but local media really is where a MoC’s career lives and dies, and where their legacy matters most.
