Treasure Coast Indivisible Notes
Good morning
There is so much going on right and so much we must do to resist. So this will be a list of WCID’s ( what can I do). Pick one, two …

There will be a hearing Wednesday morning. Let's use our collective voices to stop this atrocious bill now!
SB 1334 makes it highly likely that eligible U.S. citizens will be removed from the voter rolls purely due to red tape. By requiring that U.S. citizens seeking to exercise their right to vote have to produce documentation that is expensive and hard to get, this legislation
