Guest Speaker – Cecilia Minalga

co-founder of the Bay Area Coalition

_ Our very own Sharing Our Stories (SOS) Group is hosting its 4th meeting, dedicated to amplifying the voices of those affected by the harmful policies of the Trump administration._

By coming together, we create a space to foster empathy, spark meaningful change, and ensure these crucial stories are heard. Personal stories can move hearts and minds in ways facts alone cannot—they turn statistics into urgent calls for compassion and justice.

Whether you have a story to share or possess skills in writing, content creation, organization, or leadership, your participation is essential. Together, we’ll collect and lift up these narratives—spreading them across social media, legislative hearings, town halls, protests, and personal conversations. No story is too small; every experience matters.

Guest Speaker, Cecilia Minalga, co-founder of the Bay Area Coalition

Join us for a powerful conversation with grassroots leader Cecilia Minalga, co-founder of the Bay Area Coalition. From her first town hall in 2016 to leading volunteer networks across California, Cecilia knows how to turn concern into action. She’ll share how house parties can rebuild trust, strengthen communities, and expand our movement one conversation at a time. Don’t miss this inspiring and practical discussion!

Join us on Sept 2nd for a powerful evening of connection, learning, and action. By coming together as the Indivisible community, we can ensure our voices—our stories—shape the future we want to see.

_Everyone in our Indivisible community is welcome; every voice matters. Join us to learn from Cecilia, connect with fellow change-makers, and help turn lived experience into a call for compassion and justice. Your participation will be invaluable as we work together for lasting change._
