Indivisible Civics
The arc of the moral universe is long. But in order for justice to prevail, it is up to us to bend it.We do that by telling our stories. By amplifying the stories of the voiceless. By voting. And by making sure we never go back to the old days. --Tyrone Beason
The nonprofit Indivisible Civics began as a 23-page google document written by former progressive congressional staffers after the November 2016 presidential election. Entitled "Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda," their document found ideas and inspiration in—of all places—the Tea Party. These angry right wing Republicans were successful in defeating many of Obama’s policies. Indivisible Civics was determined to use a similar strategy, this time to work for good. Where the Tea Party members’ ideas were “wrong, cruel, and tinged with racism,” Indivisible Civics is building a resistance “built on the values of inclusion, tolerance, and fairness.”
Their guide begins:
Donald Trump is the biggest popular vote loser in history to ever call himself President-Elect. In spite of the fact that he has no mandate, he will attempt to use his congressional majority to reshape America in his own racist, authoritarian, and corrupt image. If progressives are going to stop this, we must stand indivisibly opposed to Trump and the members of Congress who would do his bidding...The guide is intended to be equally useful for stiffening Democratic spines and weakening pro-Trump Republican resolve.
The guide went viral. It has been downloaded millions of times. Indivisible Civics is now a booming nonprofit with forty full-time staffers and thousands of volunteers in states throughout the U.S.They intend to bring back grassroots power to all levels of government by educating and mobilizing underserved populations. When they sent a rallying cry last April for donations for their get-out-the-vote-campaigns, KABF was more than happy to help. Thanks to Indivisible Civics, tens of thousands of new voters have been registered.
