​Have You Scheduled This Event?

​January 6th Insurrection: 
Remembrance for 2021
Pro-Democracy, Progressive Activism for 2023

On Friday, January 6, 2023, from 5-6pm, join Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, Washington Deputy Majority Leader Senator Manka Dhingra, and Indivisible members and allies across the state for an uplifting, action-focused January 6th commemorative Zoom event. 

Here's what to expect:

• a remembrance of the 2021 insurrection,

• an introduction by Congresswoman Jayapal and Senator Dhingra to the 2023 federal Congressional and Washington Legislative landscapes: the balance of power at play, priorities of progressive, pro-democracy members, what will and won't be possible in 2023, and how we can support pro-democracy, progressive initiatives,

• and because we're all about action, information about two pro-democracy power tools for the 2023 Congressional and WA Legislative sessions: Indivisible Truth Brigade and Take Action Network.

Action: Register here to attend!
