Cary Weisgram of York Township Democrats will be offering his four-week course in map-making once again. This time around, participants will not have to juggle the holidays with figuring out census tables. If you fell off last time, you’re welcome to come back and join. The class will be conducted on Zoom Wednesday nights at 8pm from February 9th through March 2nd.

If you attended this class last time and enjoyed the content, please help spread the word. Cary is looking for all data nerds everywhere, but especially those who are volunteering with progressive organizations and other cool local causes who would benefit from doing spatial analysis.

Cary is a precinct committeeperson, and newly elected School District 44 board member. He helped organize the voter file, provide logistical maps and targeted voter metrics for seven candidates in the last municipal election. He wants to share as much of what he knows about data analysis and visualization with as many local progressive activists as possible.

Do you have an issue that energizes you?  Are you angry and want substantive change?  Do you want to make your voice be heard regarding police violence against people of color? We have a once in a generation opportunity for real change or we could lose it if we don’t ORGANIZE NOW!

The first class will be June 16 at 7PM and we will organize from there. We want to help you develop your activism so that you constructively and safely get exactly what you want. We want your voice to be heard louder and go further.  We will connect you with activists who care about what you do throughout the state. The class will go over

• Your rights as protesters
• How to plan various highly impactful methods of civil disobedience
• Social media and how to organize
• How to register voters and  work in a campaign.

The final project will be a county wide event, organized and planned by the students, with the support of the organized activist community to make sure that their message is heard. Indivisible DuPage pictured above at the 2018 Women’s March has been on the forefront of political activism locally since it began in January 2017 to fight Trump’s agenda.  We were angrily denounced by Jeannie Ives and the Illinois Tea Party because they believe that we are one of the most effective methods of change locally.

and you’ll be sent information for the first Zoom class.

Indivisible DuPage and Team Illinois for Equity and Reform will provide applicable virtual training and digital materials for those interested in running for local elected offices in April 2021 and November 2022. The training will be for an hour and a half once a week from June 20- September 12 at a time convenient for those that are interested.  We will meet online. This will be a free training but to reserve your spot. After you fill this in, a confirmation will be sent to you. If you have any questions please email diahewitt@mail.com or call Diane at 630-776-2324. Thank you for being interested.
