Prescott Indivisible has an opening for the volunteer position of backup treasurer. You will be working with the treasurer. Please send a short email with your qualifications and availability to Jane Doyle at  treasurer@prescottindivisible.org. Please respond before December 21st. 

Prescott Indivisible supported our endorsed candidates before the election and we reached over 20,000 voters. Although not all of our candidates won, each time we support a progressive voice on the ballot, we increase our chances of winning an election in the future. All of this support is paid for from donations. Since we can’t meet in person and pass the “tupperware pitcher”  at our meetings, the Steering Committee requests that you support our work and donate on our website, prescottindivisible.org. Thank you for your generosity.

Arizona Mask Protocol Citizen Call to Action!
Prescott Indivisible, in cooperation with other Indivisibles in Arizona and organizations around the state, is organizing a statewide Mask Protocol Citizen Call to Action. (FYI “mask protocol” is the new politically correct term for “mask mandate” which sounded like we were ordering people around.) Starting on December 7, the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, we are going to call, email, text, tweet and post on Facebook that we want Governor Ducey to require the wearing of masks while in public. See information below.

ARIZONA MASK MANDATE CALL FOR ACTION:
As of December 1st, thirteen states have not required mask mandates. Arizona is one of them. Only six of Arizona’s fifteen counties require masks and not every city requires masks. This haphazard approach does not control the spread of COVID and puts every Arizonan, our economy, tourism, and our health care system at increased risk from higher surges of infection, hospitalizations and death.  

University researchers say the current surge in the coronavirus outbreak will present Arizona with a hospital crisis that could become a disaster unless the state takes steps such as ordering a three-week stay-home shutdown and implementing a statewide mask mandate.READ THE STORY HERE

Swamp Governor Ducey’s Office on Monday, Dec 7th
Ask the Governor to immediately implement a mask protocol for ALL of Arizona. 
Then post a request to the Governor’s Facebook page and send him a Tweet. 
Mail a letter or postcard by USPS by December 3, 2020. 
Repeat this action on Dec 8th, 9th and etc.  Share this request.

Suggested wording: 
Start message with something personal about yourself.
Arizona is experiencing a significant surge in COVID-19 infections that shows no sign of slowing. Only six of Arizona’s fifteen counties require masks. ASU’s Bio Design Institute and the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics are predicting that Arizona will have a significant death rate if no additional public health measures are put in place. Current estimates predict that hospitals will run out of ICU space and staffing by the first week in January or sooner. I urge you to immediately implement a state-wide mask protocol as an additional public health measure to contain and manage the spread of this virus. Keeping Arizonians and our visitors safe is vital to the safety of our citizens, our economy, tourism, and health care systems. Thank you for your consideration.

DemCast is an advocacy-based 501(c)4 nonprofit. We have made the decision to build a media site free of outside influence. There are no ads. We do not get paid for clicks. If you appreciate our content, please consider a small monthly donation.


Prescott Indivisible was founded in 2017, when Paul Hamilton and Nicole Romine put an ad in the local paper, requesting local progressives to show up at the library. Over 100 people lined up. In short order, we had formed a local chapter of the national Indivisible movement. Within six months we adopted a set of Guidelines that sets the framework in which we work, designed a logo and printed and sold t-shirts. Our mailing list quickly expanded from 100 to over 1,200. We usually have 100 or more attend our general monthly meetings.

Prescott Indivisible has a strong track record of activism. We adopted the team concept: Communication/Events; Voter Education and Elections; Education; Environment; Human Rights; Immigration and Peacekeepers to assist with safely issues. Initially we had a steering committee that consisted of volunteers. After our guidelines were adopted, the steering committee is made up of elected officers and members at large and the heads of the various teams, or their designees. A diverse group of community activists, social justice advocates and others that have volunteer ties to non-profits and religious organizations, the steering committee assists the teams when asked and sets the agendas.

Our teams and their members have worked diligently to make their voices heard. We have made thousands of calls, mailed hundreds of postcards to our legislators in Arizona and in congress. We have collaborated with like-minded organizations to advocate for issues of crucial importance to Arizona and the nation.
