Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda

[snickfic]

Written by a group of former Congressional staffers, this is, as it says, an extremely practical guide to influencing your local members of Congress. It is full of really useful, basic knowledge for dealing with your reps - especially helpful if, like me, you've never tried to interact with your reps before. Also outlines the basics of how to get a local group organized so that you can start talking to your reps en masse.

Seriously, this is the most practical, informative thing I've seen about organizing and responding to the election. Highly recommended.

Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda

To this end, the following chapters offer a step-by-step guide for individuals, groups, and organizations looking to replicate the Tea Party’s success in getting Congress to listen to a small, vocal, dedicated group of constituents. The guide is intended to be equally useful for stiffening Democratic spines and weakening pro-Trump Republican resolve.

Oh wow. This is really great! I think one of the big challenges coming up will be figuring out how to organize locally for this.

Yeah, agreed. Having a blueprint, or at least something to start from, is really helpful

This is great, and they have their own website now:

Maybe this could get a prominent place somewhere in this community? I found it through the journal search (DW is great!), but I knew exactly what I was looking for.

Do you have a list of "most important documents" or something anywhere?

My suggestion would be to designate a specific post as "important documents post" or something, and let people know they can "track" the post. Every time you add another document/make a change to this post, they will be informed of the change.
