We need you to join the Rapid Response Team to be on call for urgent help

We really need grassroots members to be "on call" to help deliver our messages at media or campaign events on short notice (perhaps 3 days or less).

You could be holding a sign at a press conference, or sharing your story, or greeting a dignitary or doing something else fun. 

Completing this form does not require you to participate. It just means that you might get a call, text, or email for a time-sensitive request. We need many more people to make this an effective tool for helping our candidates and proposals win.

Call for Notaries for Precinct Delegate Forms

Precinct Delegate Forms need to be signed in front of a notary. 

If you are a Michigan public notary or willing to become a notary at no cost to yourself, please let us know by email at [email protected]

If we want to reach our goal of having over 100 precinct delegates in Ingham County and at least one in every precinct, it would be helpful to have at least one notary available at our upcoming meetings, conventions, and other events. 

The process to become a notary takes several weeks and requires submitting paperwork to the Ingham County Clerk and the State Office of the Great Seal, so we need to act soon to maximize our value before the May 5th Precinct Delegate Filing deadline.

ICDP will reimburse you for any fees and for the bond. 

Tell Us How Tom Barrett & Trump Policies Impact You

We heard about the impact of Tom Barrett and the Trump administration on people and communities at a town hall. Sharing their stories was informative and motivational.

If you are willing to share how Tom Barrett and Trump's policies impacted you, we want to hear from you. It can be anonymous or not.  

Please click the link below to share your story with the ICDP Communications Committee. We will then contact you to discuss what you are comfortable sharing.
