San Diego INDIVISIBLE Downtown

Indivisible volunteers bring with them unique backgrounds and passions that make our grassroots organization more than the sum of its parts. Let’s get to know Cristina Bourassa, a key volunteer on our New Membership/Member Recruitment Committee:

1. What compelled you to volunteer with Indivisible?

“I initially decided to volunteer in order to become more informed on local issues. Like many residents, I transplanted to San Diego from elsewhere and I hadn’t been particularly involved in my community, despite my desire to do so. Indivisible became an opportunity to apply and practice my strengths in a venue where others were doing the same. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work with and get to know my neighbors.”

San Diego County Indivisible has successfully piloted a Rapid Response tool to alert members to the most urgent, county-wide news and actions. Sign up here.

You will only receive texts for the following kinds of events:

• Response to unexpected policy: Muslim ban airport rally 

• Response to military action: Syrian bombing demonstration

• Last minute response to legislation: vigil to save the ACA

• We-just-found-out: Jeff Sessions arriving in San Deigo

• Active police actions: ICE raids

• Plea for attendance due to a change: media coverage

• Last minute changes to planned events: cancellation

I have dedicated my entire professional life to nurturing the well-being of children. I have been a preschool teacher, director, and founder of a San Diego charter school whose mission is centered on social intelligence.
