Is anyone going to the Democratic Party's Oregon Summit next weekend in Sunriver?

I wish I could go but I really can't afford it and also have a sick family member.

1. Hadn't planned on it.

Weekends are pretty busy for me anyway. That’s when I put together my Indivisible group’s Call to Action email.

2. OMG - I feel like an idiot for not knowing about Indivisible.

Thank you for waking me up!

3. Yeah. It's a good group.

Our little subgroup is kick-ass! We actually do stuff, from peaceful corner poster protests to larger events. We have our weekly “Call to Action” emails with issues laid out that you can call your reps about, and more! And we have a zoom call every Monday evening.

Highly recommended if there’s a group near you! VERY satisfying. Really makes you feel like you’re actually DOING something!

4. That's fantastic.

I looked and there is a group in my area.

5. Some of 'em are more active than others.

I went to an event last night that included Act for Democracy, the Clackamas Dems, Democratic Socialists of America, and a couple of other like-minded and climate-minded groups. I didn’t do a head count but a guesstimate might be 30-35 people in a small-to medium-size meeting room. I’ll have to look at the photos. Three clusters of chairs, every seat taken, and a few standing at the back and along one side.

MOST interesting, and relevant, and you meet new people. AND you hear more perspectives outside your own particular circle but still on the same page.
