Blue Wave Group: IEB’s Partners for 2020 & Beyond

Updated March 19, 2020

This is our new improved version of our article, Flip 2020 Blue With IEB’s Partners. We added several new options for people to help flip the Senate & White House, and keep the House, including great ways to take action from home.

In 2018, Indivisible East Bay worked with other amazing groups to help create the Blue Wave; we’ve kept up with those partnerships and now in 2020, we’re working together on a Blue Tsunami! Can you join us to help defeat the party of the Current Occupant? At this time we’re not holding any in-person gatherings, but we’re busy planning virtual and remote options to phone and text bank, and more. Please fill out this form so we can let you know when we’ve got them scheduled. And we’ll be using the Zoom app for some of them. Never Zoomed? See our nifty intro.
