Indivisible Calls for Local Action to Build Political Power

The Indivisible activist group is encouraging its supporters to form small, local action groups focused on specific community needs and causes. The goal is to build political power at the local level by taking concrete steps to make a difference in their neighborhoods and towns.

Why it matters

Indivisible played a major role in the massive 'No Kings III' protests against the MAGA administration, but the group recognizes that sustained, local-level engagement is key to creating lasting change. By empowering activists to identify and address community issues, Indivisible hopes to cultivate a new generation of engaged citizens and political leaders.

The details

Indivisible's 'Gather and Grow' initiative calls for activists to form small groups around shared interests or affinities, such as neighbors, teachers, nurses, or retirees. These groups are then tasked with finding a local need they care about and taking action to address it, whether that's protecting banned books, escorting patients to Planned Parenthood clinics, or monitoring county board meetings. Indivisible has provided toolkits and resources to help get these groups started.

• The next meeting with Congressman Cliff Bentz's staff is scheduled for Tuesday, April 7 at 10 a.m.
• The ORD2 Indivisible group will host a meet-and-greet with local candidates on April 19 from 2-4 p.m.

What’s next

The ORD2 Indivisible group is collecting signatures on a mock recall petition of Congressman Cliff Bentz. The group will provide more details on this effort in a future newsletter.
