About the CAD Weekly Action Dispatch:
The CAD (Coordinated Action Dispatch) team is an action team of Indivisible Massachusetts Coalition.
Each week, the CAD Team receives suggested actions from a wide range of activists through its CAD Team Action Submission Form, and works with legislative experts (the Indivisible, ACLU, Common Cause, Progressive Mass and MIRA) to vet and prioritize a short list of actions for the week. These are sent to dozens of newsletter editors and individuals each Wednesday through this, the “CAD Weekly Action Dispatch.”
Please consider distributing these priority CAD actions to your networks each week so we can multiply our power and increase our impact! All actions can be done either by individuals or groups.
