Hometown Heroes
From CV Indivisible: We are about a month away from Hometown Heroes of the Chippewa Valley — our first big community event! As the time gets closer, we’re getting excited and, perhaps, a little nervous with our big foray into the public eye. The enthusiasm at the weekly meeting for the event is very encouraging because, as always, Chippewa Valley Indivisible members are stepping up in a big way to support the communities they love! It’s inspiring to watch this grassroots group give the time and energy so cheerfully for their friends and neighbors.
Please click the button below for the Volunteer signup. Like the NoKings and Pride weekend, this will be an all-hands on deck event! We will need lots and lots of volunteers for the Kids Parade and Kids Games Team (roughly 3pm to 5:30pm). There will be the Logistics Team which will include Safety/Medical people, Event Marshals, Traffic Management, Police Liaison, and the always-appreciate Setup and Teardown folks. We will also have the Ticket Team and Lost & Found/ Info Table Team. There will be support folks specifically tasked for Music/Dance, Food Trucks, and Press & Media. We will have shifts so that you can enjoy the event with family and friends as well. 

EXPRESS YOURSELF with ISSUE YARD SIGNS, T-SHIRTS, and BUTTONS.

STOP TRUTH DECAY and STOP THE CRUELTY, both with this message on the reverse: STAND UP/ SPEAK OUT/ VOTE4DEMS

We also have BLUE Eau Claire County Democrat T-Shirts in all sizes for $13 each. And we have LOTS of new BUTTON designs, expressing a wide range of opinions!
