We have organized six teams we think will help us fight back in 2025. Check out this list to find where you can best use your skills, time and passion.
- FEDERAL TEAM
This team focuses on what’s happening in D.C. and holding our Members of Congress accountable. It will work with our statewide Indivisible network, COIN, and its Bentz Accountability Team to help coordinate calls to action, rallies at offices, and other ways of contacting Members of Congress. - STATE AND LOCAL TEAM
This team will focus on what guardrails are in place in Oregon as we face the MAGA administration, and what legislation or policies we need to protect our state. It will help hold accountable: State officials – governor, attorney general, secretary of state; State legislators in the House and Senate; County commissioners; City mayors and council, and local boards, like Library and School Boards. - COMMUNITY PROTECTION TEAM
This team will identify vulnerable communities and existing organizations that advocate for them in our county. It may create separate sub-teams for Reproductive and Women’s Rights, Migrant Rights, LGBTQ rights, and rights for people of color. - COMMUNICATIONS TEAM
This team is made up of people with communication, artistic and marketing skills. It will support for the needs of the other teams, coordinating campaigns as needed, and can also campaigns independently. It will be responsible for content — graphics, videos, podcasts, billboards, social media, etc. — and merchandise, and sharing the content across mediums. It may have sub-teams for Photos; Graphics; Writing, messaging, research; Electronic communications (radio, videos, etc.); Marketing and promotions, and Postcards and letter writing - EVENTS TEAM
This team will organize and provide support for protests, mass actions, meetings and other events. It will also handle merchandise sales. - SWING DISTRICT / VOTER OUTREACH TEAM
Jackson County — in fact, all of District 2 — is divided into red, blue and a big sea of “purple” voters whose true voting preference is unclear. We need to figure out which voters we need to encourage and remind when ballots go out next year. The goal is to win “purple” or districts that can be swung from Republican to Democratic.
