What Are Issue Teams?
Small Groups.
Big Focus.
Issue teams are sub-committees built around a single issue area. They're how we turn concern into action — doing the deep work that a full organization can't always prioritize.
Each team operates with a clear purpose:
- Uncover real information about the issue and who controls it
- Identify the moving parts and the key players
- Pinpoint the most effective actions to drive change
- Keep Cambridge Indivisible informed on actionable items and events
- Amplify actions through CI's communications network
