A Quick Note
Hi all! This is a super quick note just to say hi, the news is crazy, I’ve wanted to write a zillion posts on it, and we’ve been working behind the scenes. Three primary things to pass along…
It seems to be working better here at the beginning of growing this to have us give a talk at an established group you are in to get things rolling. If you’d like to have me speak on a Zoom or virtually somewhere in the US (or in person in central Iowa), give me a holler at (202) 556-0317 (SMS or phone) or team@shiftthecountry.com (Vanessa Burnett). We’ll develop a speakers’s bureau over time but we’ll start here. We’ve started this process with a couple of groups including a Swing Left chapter, and it can include Democratic groups or
I reworked our Zoom calls for May and into June based on what’s been resonating and what was confusing. Cleaned up a bit and thinned it out. Of note, there’s a ruckus-raising call this Thursday night (how to do it). Here’s the main event list, by category.
Finally, we’re ramping up a volunteer corps/team/crowd/etc. If you’d like to join, our first call is May 16 and a second is on May 25.
Okay that’s it for today!
We’re getting good resonance/stickiness/interest when talking to groups. Seems like folks are looking for new ideas, and we’re here for that. There’s so much we can try and do and create to take things up a bunch of levels and help energize the majority in this country.
Take care be well keep the faith — we’ve got good people.
I’m off for medical whatnot! Have a good day. And stick with us… whilst chaos is intensifying, we can help each other through and turn this ship.
