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

Indiana Here is a link to review Indiana legislative that will be addressed in the 2026 session: https://legiscan.com/IN/legislation/2026 Federal Defense Policy Bill The House approved a $900 billion defense policy bill that would codify much of President Trump’s national security agenda but seek to curb his move to withdraw from Europe and to mandate more Pentagon consultation with Congress.

‘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

Indiana Indiana's redistricting bill HR 1032 passed the Senate's elections committee, clearing its first hurdle in the chamber that has been reticent to take up the issue. The 6-3 vote came after hours of testimony from Hoosiers representing both sides of the debate, competing at times with the echo of protesters outside the Senate chamber. The redistricting bill now heads to the Senate floor, where the full chamber is poised to vote on it Thursday, Dec 11. Senate Democrats p

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

One of the defining principles of Indivisible is that there are 198 (or so) means of non-violent resistance to tyranny. Supporting businesses that support democracy is a way to resist. Empty shopping carts. Photo by Michal Dziekonski on Unsplash A fantastic alternative to spending dollars on companies that hurt our communities and our democracy, is shopping local.
