On Saturday, May 17th, Spokane Indivisible held an Ice Cream Social at Comstock Park to introduce our Community Action Teams or CAT.
The weather was cold and rainy and many who had reserved tickets to the event stayed at home where is was warm and dry. We get it.
It’s never too late join. Enclosed is a list and details about each CAT Team.
The purpose of all of our CAT Teams is to create an organized network committed to political actions, and engage in making a positive change for all who live in our community.
We understand everyone has a different comfort level with activism. The groups have been set up with you in mind providing many layers of activism. We hope that you will find a team that fits within your comfort zone and your determination to help save our democracy.
