### Some quotes from past participants:
– “It was great working with like-minded people who care so much about what’s going on in our country. We want and are working for change that helps all Americans”
– “It was fun working with people who share your feelings about what’s happening in our country and overseas. I find it inspiring and it gives me hope.”
– “great turnout, super well organized. welcoming and fun.”
– “Well organized. Liked the materials included in the kits. Good location. Nice people. Thank you very much!”
– “I took action for NE Lake County IL Indivisible because last time we put together whistle kits, I was impressed by how organized the work was, how professional, encouraging and friendly the leaders were. It was the same this time. The leaders told us about other opportunities with the organization. They sat and chatted with the groups at each of the tables. The volunteers were all friendly. I felt able to speak freely. We didn’t speak of frustrations. We talked of opportunity for helping others.”
