This is our moment. We need your help to win this fight. So we’ve got two big requests for you:
- Watch the Washington Indivisible Network (WIN) video panel discussion Addressing Activist Burnout Panel Discussion
- The Skagit chapter of Indivisible is looking for technology volunteers. We need skills in WordPress or Weebly as well as Facebook. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
- Donate $10 to Indivisible Project. Now more than ever, it’s crucial we keep our call lines open, our web resources up to date, our ads running, and all our organizer support on the ground to build pressure on senators. Grassroots funding (from people like you!) is what makes all of that possible.

Now is the time to Join Take Action Network (TAN)!
. . . TAN makes it easy to track bills you care about, write your legislators, sign in for hearings all from your own home. Get daily Take Action alerts. Make your voice heard in Olympia! Here’s what one happy IndiSkagit TAN user says: '"love it! I just sit down at the computer after dinner and spend about 15 minutes taking actions on bills that make a difference. It’s easy and so satisfying!" The Indivisible Skagit Immigrant Support Task Force is offering accompaniment for tenants who are working through issues with their landlords. We can share information about tenants’ rights, help folks connect with organizations providing rent assistance and help with applications for federal and state funding. We can contact a landlord at the request of a tenant to facilitate resolutions to problems, and be present with tenants for lease signings, move-in and move-out inspections, or help with getting damage deposits back. We have both English and Spanish speakers on our team. If you know someone who needs this service, or you want to join our team, contact us at [email protected] The Threat Charrette:
Sea Level Rise in Skagit And What We Can Do About It June 4-5, 2024 Skagit County is one of the places most at risk from sea level rise in Puget Sound, yet County officials have been resistant to proactively integrating sea level rise considerations into their Shoreline Master Program.
Indivisible Skagit, Audubon Washington, Evergreen Islands, and other local organizations hosted a design charrette to identify specific threats to Skagit, and develop a list of specific, science-based recommendations for sea-level rise adaptation actions, interventions, and mitigation. The recommendations will be used to facilitate community conversations and build collective capacity with the end goal to move Skagit County Commissioners to take action on the threats that are already impacting our communities. To support this process, the Skagit Climate Science Consortium provided specific guidance on how climate change and sea level rise impacts the Skagit coastal environment and community and will continue to resource this community dialogue. Presentation slides can be viewed here:
