ACTION: Come to the Fixing Our Democracy Action Hour every Sunday at 5 PM through April 25. Taking action is easier, more impactful and more fun when we do it together. Join via this Zoom link.   

MORE INFO: Each week, after a brief review of Indivisible's democracy reform priorities, Indivisible Yolo and Colusa organizers will take the group through easy and effective actions to defend our democracy. 

The clock is ticking. We have a very short window of time for Democrats in Congress to use the majority that we built to expand voting rights, combat corruption, and build a more participatory electoral process. But they're not going to do it without pressure from us. A representative democracy is within our reach -- but we must demand it.
