If you're in a PSN/resistance-type group

[Bernadine]

What is your group doing? How is your group organized? I feel like my local group needs more focus.

I am a member of several overlapping groups (local PSN, Indivisible, county Democratic Party). Ours put out calls to action (which topics to contact state and federal legislators about, etc); help arrange and get the word out for local rallys, protests, and town halls; coordinate efforts with other orgs. such as BLM and immigrant rights groups. For a red state (although near a blue metro area), I feel like these groups have been very effective at herding the masses.

I am a member of a former PSN group as well as a few other local progressive groups.

Several protests have been organized in our town targeting different things. Recently it has been trying to get our Rep to talk to us or hold a town hall, so calling, writing, gathering outside his office when he is there.

Some groups also alert us to national action items we can be taking, but many are focused on local issues. Our primary is Tuesday so they have been holding forums with local candidates for mayor and city council, etc.

I left my local state one but am a member of my city & county ones. The county one is really focused on our local rep, and how to get him to hear us. They're also starting to get into helping out with refugees.

My city one seems focused on protests.

I am in a few. The Indivisible group has a snowflake as the org structure, with a steering committee in the center and then arms for action, technology, media, outreach, research, and inclusivity. The meet twice a month. There are protests, rallies, calls to action, events shared, news shared.

The PSN spinoff is an action network and is more general, but tends to focus on calling reps and protest announcememts. Also good info for outreach in the conmunity.

The Dem Party group is part of the local democratic organization and meets once a month. Events of other groups are shared. I am just getting started in this group.

Pretty much what others have said.

My local Indivisible group has daily posts with call scripts for our congressman and senators.

Our congressman refuses to meet with us, and there have been a few protests when we've found out he's meeting with donors or having meetings closed to the public while his staffers tell us we have to go through him. There was one such protest today.

We have different arms of the group - there's marketing, protests, and historian, to name a few. Our marketing group, for instance, not only takes and distributes video of each event, but is also trying to get interviews from group members related to how the ACA has helped them, for instance.

Right now protest and obstruction are the main goals. Our congressman has been getting a lot more bad press as a result of our group, which is great.
