This month, Indivisible Central Indiana is continuing its campaign to encourage our members to get involved with electoral politics at the grassroots level, by becoming precinct committeepersons and/or delegates to the state convention of either major party. Last week, we talked about how to file to be on the May primary ballot as a precinct committeeperson -- Precinct Committeepersons – Who is Eligible to Run? .  This week, we discuss the other little-known “office” for whic

This week, we want to take a break from the serious, often hard work of fighting fascism --and bring a bit of joy, or at least levity, to the endeavor. Our Economic Call to Action this week is NOT about denying yourself your favorite music or restaurant or shopping experience to punish a corporation for collaborating with the regime. It is to go buy from the good guys!  And we have a couple of suggestions. The opposite of a boycott is a “buycott.”   And a “buycott” is not onl

Last week we encouraged you to step outside your comfort zone and consider running for one of the two “building blocks” of the two-party political system:  Precinct Committeeperson, and State Convention Delegate.  Anyone who wants to run for Precinct Committeeperson in this May’s Democratic Primary election ( note:  Republicans elect new PCs in 2028 ) can go to their County Clerk’s office between January 7 and NOON on FRIDAY FEBRUARY 6 , and fill out a short form called a CA

By friend of Indivisible Central Indiana, Lisa Medanic Indivisible is an organization that has long been working to keep our democracy strong so that our country can meet the needs of all of our citizens.  During the recent Presidential election, Indivisible and others warned us about Project 2025, and the threat that an administration following such a plan would pose to our democracy.  Once Trump was elected, the American people watched as more and more of Project 2025 was i

‘No’ votes came down to listening to constituents On the late afternoon of December 11, with a snowstorm threatening outside the Statehouse, the Indiana Senate finally voted on an issue that had been looming for months, a mid-decade redistricting of the state’s federal Congressional Districts. During the debate, more than 200 Hoosiers watched from the Senate gallery and the hall outside the chambers, sharing their voices opposition or, increasingly, agreement. When the result

In case you haven't heard, 2026 is an election year. It's a big one. Maybe the one that turns the tide away from autocracy and back toward democracy.  Or, maybe, our last. So don't sit it out! In January, Indivisible Central Indiana will work with our partners to encourage you and everyone in our network to get involved in the electoral process in 2026, perhaps in ways you have never considered before. The general election may be 11 months away, but there is a critical deadli

We are now well into the heart of the holiday shopping season.   Black Friday is a week and a half in the rearview mirror.  Did any of the boycotts that Indivisible and other organizations called for make a difference? You may recall – (you may have participated!) – Indivisible specifically urged its members to avoid three major retailers in particular during the Black Friday to Cyber Monday weekend – Target, Amazon, and Home Depot.  Other organizations have been promoting mo

ONE MILLION RISING One Million Rising is the name the national Indivisible organization gives to its program to recruit new "members" to resist authoritarianism by building a base of mass non-cooperation. Locally, Indivisible Central Indiana has maintained the name for our program to merge our relationships across Marion County and the seven surrounding counties. In August, we hosted small public gatherings around Indy – in libraries, park shelters, churches, and art gallerie

We are just over a week away from Black Friday and the “official” start of the holiday shopping season/orgy of consumerism.   Our primary Economic Call to Action remains:  rethink your holiday gift-purchasing plans. Not “cancel Christmas.”  Not “month-long economic blackout.”  Not “General Strike.”  Not yet, anyway.  But this next month is an excellent opportunity to reconsider our own personal complicity in an economy where so many of the Major Players are actively collabora

We are going to spend the next three weeks – maybe the next seven weeks – revisiting the idea that we can shape some major corporations’ assessment of their collaboration with the Trump regime, by redirecting our holiday spending.

Think of it as a rehearsal, getting practice at thinking globally about your purchasing power.  Real impact will come when millions of us are infor

Learn about the boycotts and holiday shopping choices that can make an impact. Also, find ways to support our neighbors while SNAP is shutdown.

In late October, Spotify began running recruitment ads for Immigrati
