Membership Meeting Sunday via Zoom

Did you make it to Democracy Fest? It was a blast. What a great turnout, including many families and children. Commitment to democracy unites us! 

Let’s keep the momentum going at our all-island Membership Meeting:

Sunday, April 26, 2 pm
Via Zoom 
Sign up here to receive the Zoom link.

Special guests: Representative Clyde Shavers and Sheriff Rick Felici.

We will also have important updates about elections, opportunities to get involved, and the progress we are making. 

We are experimenting with an occasional Zoom meeting to include those who may not be able to meet in person. We aim to keep this meeting to one hour. 

May Day Protests
How will you make your voice heard this May Day? Around the country, there will be walk-outs, economic boycotts, and strategic non-cooperation.

Here are some easy ways to participate on Whidbey Island:

Shop local! Support our local economy while avoiding online and big box purchases.

Walk out! Not everyone can leave their job or school, but if you can, talk with your coworkers about making an impact by not participating for all or part of the day.

Alternatively, if you’re not able to cut class or work, how about a lunchtime rally with your coworkers or fellow students?

Donate. Some great on-island causes:
Neighbor to Neighbor Fund, supporting immigrants. Make donations via Langley Methodist Church. 
 Whidbey Food Resilience Fund supports food security across the island. 
 Indivisible Whidbey!

Hang a sign! Place a sign in your yard, on your car or at your place of work showing your support for workers, democracy and civil rights.
Grab a friend and attend a rally in Port Townsend, Anacortes, or Seattle.

You might be wondering, Why is there no Indivisible-sponsored protest on Whidbey? A hardy and committed group of volunteers runs Indivisible Whidbey. After planning the No Kings Rally and co-sponsoring Democracy Fest, we did not have the capacity to go big for May Day. Want to help plan the next big thing? Please raise your hand to volunteer. We especially need leaders for these events! 

Run for Something!
Are you ready to step forward and run for public office? We need candidates who will advocate for democracy and civil rights. Filing week for scores of Island County races, online or in person, is May 4 - 8, 2026. If you’re new to public office, Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) positions are open in every district, have no filing fee, and are a great way to get involved in local organizing, voter engagement, and party leadership in your immediate area. For details, visit the Island County Information webpage.

Endorse Someone!
Once we get past the filing date, the real work begins. Our research team will learn all they can about candidates. Join the research team by April 30 and be part of the kick-off on May 4. Using their work,  Indivisible Whidbey will come together to decide on endorsements. It’s your chance to learn and have a voice, so save the date:
