Indivisible; Gainesville Chapter

MISSION: The mission of Indivisible Gainesville is to use the principles outlined in the Indivisible Guide to educate and inform the people of Florida's 3rd Congressional District to increase voter turnout and participation in the civic process. By providing timely and factual information, we seek to build an inclusive community that fosters diversity and encourages citizen action. Donald Trump is the biggest popular vote loser in history to ever call himself President. In spite of the fact that he has no mandate, he has attempted 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 (MoCs) who would do his bidding. Together, we have the power to resist; we have the power to win. We know this because we’ve seen it before. The authors of this guide are former congressional staffers who witnessed the rise of the Tea Party. We saw these activists take on a popular president with a mandate for change and a supermajority in Congress. We saw them organize locally and convince their own MoCs to reject President Obama’s agenda. Their ideas were wrong, cruel, and tinged with racism. And they won. We believe that protecting our values, our neighbors, and ourselves will require mounting a similar resistance to the Trump agenda, BUT a resistance built on the values of inclusion, tolerance, and fairness. Trump is not popular. He does not have a mandate. He does not have large congressional majorities. If a small minority in the Tea Party can stop President Obama, then we the majority can stop a petty tyrant named Trump. In this group, we will organize based on the tactics in the Indivisible Guide and fight for the principles that we hold so close to our hearts. This is a Closed Group so we can organize properly. Please feel free to add other members that are also politically motivated to have their voices heard against Trump's regressive agenda. ___________________________________ Indivisible Gainesville does not engage in the endorsement of individual political candidates during primaries. However, elections are extremely important for our community, state, and nation. We strongly encourage our members to research candidates who are running for office, including their political ideologies and their stance on important political, social, economic, and environmental issues.
