Feeling helpless in the face of hate? Outraged by the obfuscation? Join Indivisible Montgomery and your fellow Montgomery County residents as we work for diversity, inclusion, transparency, and the empowerment of all Americans through political activism.​

Because of state winner-take-all statutes, 5 of our 45 presidents have come into office without having won the most popular votes nationwide, including in 2000 and 2016.

One organization is trying to make sure that never happens again.

At the January 2020 meeting of Indivisible Montgomery, Eileen Reavey from the nonpartisan group National Popular Vote will:

• Explain what the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is and why it is important
• Address the most common questions and myths about the compact
• Tell us where Maryland and Virginia stand on this issue
• Give options for how we can help get the bill enacted

Following Eileen’s presentation, we will write letters to voters in Georgia to encourage them to vote in November.

Admission is free. All are welcome.

About National Popular Vote:
National Popular Vote is a nonprofit corporation working to ensure the Electoral College vote represents the popular vote for president. With volunteers across the country, the organization advocates for the passage of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which will guarantee the presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Compact is a state-based approach that preserves the Electoral College, state control of elections, and the power of the states to control how the president is elected.
