EscInd: Weekly Action Plan for Oct. 1, 2018
Welcome to Escondido Indivisible’s weekly action plan for October 1, 2018! We are 36 days away from the most important election in a generation. We have learned clearly that elections have consequences. Help bring about the consequences we want to see for ourselves, the planet, and the future. Join, volunteer, and donate to the candidate of your choice. They all need our money and help! (And a little note: there will be no action plan next week, but we’ll return the week of October 15th.)
