Hello all,

Thanks to those who were able to make the meeting last weekend.  We will send out a recap in the next few days.  There were some QR codes not working, so if you are interested (meeting tomorrow) please respond to this and I will send you the info.  

The most important thing we need to do this week is VOTE!!!! Don’t forget to send in your ballot or drop at the ballot box.  

This why Indivisible Tri-Cities exists: to hold our elected officials accountable. We do it one piece at a time, starting right here at home. While we don’t endorse candidates, we believe that informed voters are powerful voters.

That’s why we built the Voter Toolbox → https://linktr.ee/IndivisibleTriCitiesVoterTools

Your one-stop hub for:

🗳️ Registering or updating your voter registration

📮 Finding your nearest ballot drop box

📘 Reading the Benton & Franklin County voter pamphlets

📁 Exploring local candidate responses to see where they stand on education, science, free speech, and immigration

This week SIGN waving!!

There will be people going to John Dam Plaza around 3:30 TOMORROW to wave GET Out The VOTE signs.

If you can join, DO.

BADGER FORUM: HOMELESS
More Need, Fewer Resources


Time
Saturday, October 18
11am – 1pm PDT

Location
Columbia Center Blvd
1321 N Columbia Center Blvd
Kennewick, WA

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.

Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.


Here are some ways you can take action.

  • Sat, Oct 18 @ 11am · No Kings
    NO KINGS Tri-Cities WA ›
  • Sat, Oct 18 @ 12pm · No Kings
    NO KINGS Walla Walla ›
  • Sat, Oct 18 @ 10:30am · No Kings

    Round Table Pizza 3201 W Court St, Pasco

    Greetings fellow Democrats!

    It's getting cold out, so we're going to move indoors for our winter gatherings. This month we'll meet at the round Table Pizza on Court Street in Pasco. November 14 at 6pm Pacific. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. As is our normal practice, Tri-City Democrats will order several pizzas to share. We'll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group. Some of our generous members are likely to purchase pitchers of beer to share. If you want the salad bar or soft drinks, you are on your own for those items.

    At this writing, we do not have a planned program, but we will have 'Hate Has no Home Here' signs available. We are also in the process of proposing some minor alterations to our bylaws, which we may discuss briefly and possibly vote on.
