Action Teams: Get Involved

The heartbeat of Newton Indivisible is our members working in Action Teams that generate their own activities to celebrate our strength in diversity and to fight the forces that try to divide us.

Use this form to tell us which team or teams you’d like to be involved with. Please choose teams whose area resonates with you, teams where you’d like to make a difference. Someone from our leadership team will be in touch with you about joining an Action Team. Current teams include:

• Immigrant Rights

• Elections
• Auchincloss
