Hotels: The Admiral Fell Inn or the Inn at Henderson’s Wharf. Gracefully

28] –
On
Thurs., Jan. 3, show up and project the newly-won congressional power in 2019.
Demand our MoCs stand strong and continue to reject any new funding for Trump’s
wall. And Indivisibles have more than 100 events planned to kick off the
new Congress. Indivisibles all over the country will show up at district
offices or hold rallies in their community to tell their members of Congress
(MoCs) the people are not slowing down now. Fight for progressive policies,
support progressive champions, and hold both Republicans and Democrats
accountable when they don’t fight for their constituents.
There
is a Strengthening Our Democracy Rally on Thurs., Jan. 3 at noon at the Kent
Island Office of Representative Andy Harris, 100 Olde Point Village, Suite 101,
Chester, MD 21619. The rally is part of a nationwide Indivisible Day of Action.
As the Democrat-controlled House prepares to introduce H.R. 1, send the message
that we want it to be a robust democracy reform bill! We want reforms on voter
empowerment and access, the groundwork for a constitutional amendment to reform
our campaign finance system, and reforms to crack down on corruption at all
levels of the government. Go to https://www.facebook.com/KentandQueenAnnesIndivisible/.
