Itโs time again to mass in the streets on October 18th.
Indivisible has partnered with dozens of progressive organizations to galvanize participation. In order to increase our visibility, weโve adopted a march format. Gathering will occur by 10:45 a.m. at the stone fountain on the south side of Vander Veer Park, followed by 11 a.m. marching. Bring clever and colorful signage, but this is a nonviolent civil action, in deed and word (please take the time to learn how to de-escalate potentially hostile situations.).
Those who cannot march are invited to bring chairs or to simply stand near the fountain to display signs and join in chanting. Help us to Pack the Park!
RSVP HERE
The public is invited to attend a Bettendorf School Board Candidate Forum at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 22, moderated and broadcast by KWQC-TV6.
