Countdown to Change

Join us Tuesday, July 28, at 9:00 AM for our Countdown to Change protest at the Washington County Board of County Commissioners.

With just 98 days until Election Day, we'll remind our County Commissioners that Washington County voters are paying attention—and that change is on the horizon.

​Hagerstown, MD

Come stand with your neighbors as we continue calling for accountability, transparency, and leadership that reflects our community's values.

Save the Date: Candidate Speed Dating!

Ever wish you could sit down one-on-one with the candidates seeking your vote?

On Wednesday, October 7, Washington County Indivisible will host a Candidate Speed Dating event, giving you the opportunity to meet local candidates, ask your questions, and have meaningful conversations in a fun, interactive format.

We're still putting the finishing touches on the event, but for now, save the date and start thinking about what you'd like to ask the people who want to represent our community.

More details coming soon!
