Become a Neighborhood Leader (NL)
It is simply talking. Talking to our Democratic neighbors in our own neighborhoods. It is developing relationships of trust and truth. It is empowering people to become leaders. It is all about small democracy….one person making a difference one conversation at a time. Interested? For more information and support, send an email to: IndivisibleMLS@gmail.com
The NL program was designed to encourage voting by making use of Neighbor-to-Neighbor conversations.
Volunteer Neighborhood Leaders are provided a list of Democratic voters in their neighborhood - their neighbors.
Lists can be anywhere from around 30-50 names dependent upon the volunteer's wishes as well as the topography of the neighborhood (e.g. lists may be longer when houses are close, shorter when farther apart)
The main goal is reminding Democrats to show up to vote!!
Volunteers are asked to make a minimum of two contacts:
1. Late summer - Neighborhood Leaders introduce themselves as an informed Neighbor - someone who can help them if they have any questions about the election, candidates, etc.
2. One to Two weeks before the election - reminder to vote again. Leave door hanger with a personal note.
Lists & door hanger can be provided by Indivisble MLS or MNDem Teams.

As well as the list from Drew Goins in the Washington Post
• Project 2025 would steeply reduce Medicaid funding and remove medication abortion drugs from the market.
• It would shutter LGBTQ+ health programs and have the government declare that heterosexual couples are the superior family structure. The term “sexual orientation” would be forbidden from federal legislation.
• It would terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that allows “dreamers” to stay in the United States and would lower legal immigration limits, as well.
• It would bring the FBI under direct control of the president and eliminate the Education Department.
• It would stop expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy.
• It would make pornography illegal and imprison people who make it.
• It would officially recognize the Sabbath and infuse Judeo-Christian values throughout government.
• And it lays out how the president could purge nonpartisan civil servants and install loyalists who would accomplish all of this.
That government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth.
-Abraham Lincoln
