About Indivisible:
Year Five and Thriving
Over the past five years, Indivisible has grown from a spontaneous resistance movement into a sophisticated national network that combines national connectivity, partnerships, and support with local leadership and ownership to fight for an inclusive democracy. Today, with over 3,000 active groups across the country in every single congressional district, our network continues to thrive.
2016: Sparking a movement
2017: Saving the Affordable Care Act
2018: Scaling impact
2019: Whose House? Our House
2020: From resistance to resilience
In 2020, Indivisibles advanced progressive values and took action in break-glass moments at the local, state, and national levels. Indivisibles nationwide protected our democracy, supported each other through the COVID-19 pandemic, and built progressive power.
2021: A more perfect union
2021 was the culmination of Indivisible’s fight for federal democracy reform legislation—and we left it all out on the field. We saw record engagement all year, with nearly 50,000 activists taking hundreds of thousands of actions; 1700+ events nationwide, and our largest mobilization to date. We defended the CPC in the push to pass the Build Back Better Act, and deployed thousands of Truth Brigade volunteers to combat the spread of online disinformation.
What makes Indivisible unique?
Breadth: We’re everywhere
Indivisible is one of the most active grassroots movements nationwide. Five years in, there are over 3,000 active, local Indivisible groups that cover every single congressional district in the country. Indivisible groups are everywhere and are especially strong in suburban and rural communities.
Depth: Grassroots power for the long haul
Indivisible continues to build and sustain our movement’s power by empowering local activists to take leadership. They grow and lead local Indivisible groups, take independent action, and coordinate with their fellow local leaders. Our power comes from coordinated national campaigns where we act together, indivisible.
Local groups engage where they can have the most impact, whether that’s voter registration or organizing to advance progressive policies. Our distributed model means our groups have legitimacy within their communities, which allows them to garner local media hits, shape the narrative around local issues, and pressure their members of Congress (MOCs) as constituents.
Indivisibles also pivot from local to state to national advocacy, responding to opportunities and showing up to defend progressive values. As a result, Indivisible groups are building a lasting community-based progressive infrastructure designed for the long haul.
Efficacy: We know how to win
We understand systems of power—like how Congress operates—and our approach mobilizes four concentric audiences to apply pressure inside and outside those systems to get results: (1) our policy experts lobby MOCs on Capitol Hill; (2) our local activists drive actions in their districts; (3) our digital activists call and write their MOCs, as well as amplify messaging and actions in their regions; and (4) we shape the whole environment through paid and organic earned mass media.
Our grassroots force, combined with our relationships on Capitol Hill, have allowed Indivisible to remain nimble and take action in break-glass moments—holding MOCs accountable and pushing forward progressive policy reforms along the way.
