Election Protection Webinar

Co-sponsored by NWSOFA-Indivisible & local Indivisible groups across the North & Northwest suburbs

“Join Indivisible Evanston on Tuesday, April 14 at 7:00–8:30 PM CT for an important Election Protection webinar co-sponsored by local Indivisible groups across the North and Northwest suburbs. We’ll hear from Ed Yohnka of ACLU Illinois and Willie Shaw of the Evanston NAACP about how we can ensure every voter is able to cast a ballot freely and fairly in 2026 and beyond.

This session will cover what election protection looks like on the ground, how to volunteer, and what communities can do to safeguard voting access statewide. A representative from Indivisible National is also expected to join for a national perspective on protecting democracy this election year.

Join Sorting Soup

Sorting the Firehose of Information

THURSDAYS / SUNDAYS Thursday @5:00 /Sunday @4PM CDT – Zoom

Sorting Soup is our weekly gathering where we make sense of the “firehose of information” — serving up news, court cases, and cultural sparks to find the truth (and maybe a little humor) in the mix.

Thursdays @5PM

We ladle out the week’s headlines, taste-test the facts, and stir up action steps for change.

Sundays @4PM central / 5pm eastern

The Literature & Ladle Society (aka our Sorting Soup Book Club) lets things simmer with deeper conversation.

Right now, we’re diving into “Witches, Whores, & Rebels” by Therese Lee, a feminist video series unpacking history, capitalism, and collective resistance.

At the heart of Sorting Soup is the belief that Self‑Care is Radical Resistance — because even revolutions need nourishment.

Like the story of Stone Soup, everyone brings something to the pot: knowledge, curiosity, and the courage to show up
