Upper West Side Action Group: MoveOn/Indivisible/Swing Left was the first SwingLeft group on the Upper West Side formed in January 2017 a week before the first Women's March. We're a congenial group with activists from all over NYC working to turn targeted red states/districts blue through door knocking/canvassing, voter registration, postcards/letters, phoning and fundraising. While we are very focused on making our actions effective, we arrange them to also be enjoyable. Help turn the tide and make friends along the way.
