To defeat Trump in Ohio in 2020, we need more people voting Democratic. Lots of people don't vote in elections. We get more people on our team registered and excited to vote, we win. Easy-Peasy. Central Ohio's Indivisible groups are coming together to get people registered and fired up NOW to ensure our victory. This is the kick-off meeting for Central Ohio Voter Engagement. We need door knockers, voter registration tablers, volunteer recruiters, email writers, data enterers and crunchers. Basically, we need YOU! Grab a beer and some food from the Sunnyside Tacos Food Truck if you like. Drink, eat, and socialize from 6 to 6:30 and then we're getting down to the business of saving democracy. Please join us!
