New Opt-In Email Lists for Community Opportunities
To say there is a lot to keep track of these days would be a bit of an understatement – especially for an organization with a mission to Empower Voters and Defend Democracy. Fortunately, we are not alone.
There are lots of good organizations and individuals doing great work in our community and beyond. As we seek to expand and strengthen our connections with those invested in similar work, I am going to add a few more “alert” email lists as well as companion “sharing” lists. All of these will be opt-in, so that no one gets extra emails they don’t want.
“Alert lists” are open to both LWVOC members and non-members. They are a way to share timely opportunities, for example, upcoming rallies, volunteer needs, or urgent legislative actions. To keep email volume down, only I, or someone I specify, will be posting to this list.
“Sharing lists” are an additional option for LWVOC members. Within guidelines that will be posted, anyone who joins one of these lists will be able to post. Guidelines will focus on posting actionable information, avoiding debate, and maintaining a respectful tone.
Current topics are Immigration, Housing & Poverty, and Women’s Issues & Health Care.
To sign up for any of the lists, fill out this simple form.
We understand your inbox is busy, and we are committed to keeping these lists focused and relevant. There are probably better technologies – but this is quick and easy for now. We can always add more as we go. The important thing for now is to enable information sharing. I have had many conversations with members about the role of the League at this time. My hope is that we can best build strength by focusing on what we do best and supporting other organizations in what they do best.
Keep those ideas coming!
Yours in Service,
Kathy
