Volunteer with the Santa Cruz County Democratic Party.
There is ALWAYS something to do.
It could be as easy as printing & stapling or tabling at an event. Being the photographer, or petition signature gatherer. You might want to be a vote center observer, a canvasser, or a community organizer. English or Spanish. Your skills will help keep Santa Cruz County BLUE!
Basically, I stand and walk with my protest/informational signs of resistance to fascism and to stand for rule of law each day the court is open. Also, I try to greet the employees and court visitors (such as potential jurors) as they are arriving. Sometimes we need to be available often and close enough that people can ask questions. I have been doing this for 46 weeks on a daily basis whenever the court is open. Some good conversations have occurred because by now the court employees are used to me and know me and we do reach people one on one. I would love to have you join me one day or every day. I never know when there’s going to be a large jury pool but it’s always good to have another person or two during those days because it’s hard to cover where the employees start their walk to the building and where the jurors are waiting to go in.
This a local Indivisible event!
Here is where you’ll describe your local event. Please be specific about important details and include anything a first time attendee, or new group member, might find helpful!
A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
Accessibility
This event meets ADA standards
Monday, Feb 9th will be our 52nd consecutive week of peacefully holding CD1 Rep. David Schweikert accountable for his dreadful voting record, his overall lackluster performance, and his refusal to meet with us, his constituents. Join us every Monday, 8-9am as we peacefully continue our demand for Schweikert to do his job.
Register here to help us with an accurate count for planning purposes.
We recommend:
- Wearing black
- Having signs asking our electeds to focus on healthcare, jobs, education, SNAP benefits, etc, instead of warfare
- Bringing non-perishable food, personal care (toothpaste, toothbrushes), and/or household items (paper towels, toilet paper) to help our neighbors in need. To date, this food drive – sponsored by MoveOn – has donated 3 tons of food to the Scottsdale Foodbank.
- Bringing a letter or a postcard message to drop off at Schweikert’s office
- The building and parking lot are on private property. Building management has asked us from time to time not to park in their parking lot. so you may want to take advantage of street parking or park in Kohl’s parking lot 1/2 block east on Raintree Rd.
Come any Monday. We are outside David Schweikert’s office from 8-9 am.
Our CD1 Coalition Partners include: Move On, Optimists Resist Indivisible, Stand Indivisible, the Democrats of LD4, LD3, LD2, LD8, LD5, the North Scottsdale Democrats, the Fountain Hills Democratic Club, Fountain Hills Independent Indivisibles, Desert Progressives Indivisible, Swing Left Maricopa County, and Honest Arizona.
START TIME: The event starts at 4:00 pm. You are free to show up anytime, but we recommend arriving a few minutes early to introduce yourself. We end promptly at 5:30 pm. Some attendees meet up afterward at Mi Patio ($4.99 margaritas!), others go to Lix Uptown Ice Cream ($4 scoops!). We’re a friendly bunch.
GATHERING POINT: We gather on all four corners of the intersection, with the primary meeting spot on the northeast corner of 7th Ave & Osborn. Look for the signs. Can’t miss us!
MESSAGING & FOCUS
One of RhRR’s strengths is that people feel free to express themselves. Ideally, your signs would help articulate any of our three pillars:
- Defending democracy and the rule of law
- Encouraging voting
- Protecting neighbors and communities (e.g., immigrants, LGBTQIA+ people, workers, and veterans)
This approach keeps signs aligned with RhRR’s purpose, while preserving personal expression and emotional authenticity.
Flags, banners, and even inflatable costumes are welcome. Some blow lots of bubbles. While our mission is serious, humor and camaraderie matter.
RhRRs are peaceful, public events. Most attendees don’t hide their faces, though some do; participate at your comfort level. Photos and videos are commonly shared on social media, but you can ask posters to remove accidental appearances.
RECOMMENDED PARKING: There’s plenty of parking in the Safeway lot on the NE corner. We haven’t had issues before, but parking enforcement is unpredictable. If concerned, check with others.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION 🚌 Route 8
SPECIAL NOTES 🥵 During hot weather, shade is limited. Bring water, sun protection, and consider a portable chair.
