About Oregon City Indivisible

of the Consolidated Oregon Indivisible Network (COIN).
A History of Indivisible
& Our Core Values
Indivisible started as the Indivisible Guide, a Google Doc guide to organizing locally to pressure your elected officials to resist Trump’s agenda. It caught fire as millions of people picked up the guide and its name - Indivisible - and organized their own local Indivisible groups to put the guide into action. These new Indivisible activists formed a nationwide movement of people taking matters into their own hands to build their own power through collective action.
Today, the Indivisible movement is a progressive grassroots movement of millions of activists across every state, fueled by a partnership between thousands of autonomous local Indivisible groups and a national staff. Indivisible’s national team offers strategic leadership, movement coordination, and support to Indivisible activists, and also directly lobbies congress, builds partnerships, runs media campaigns, and develops advocacy strategies.
It is from this National Movement that Indivisibile Oregon was founded in 2017 by volunteers and activists. Their volunteer leaders have been organizing events and actions almost nonstop every month for over 8 years out of Portland, Oregon and surrounding areas. From this organization, more localized Indivisible branches, including ours, have sprung up all over Oregon, as a way to better serve individual communities and neighborhoods.
Our Mission
Our mission is to actively engage in local and national issues through in-person and virtual meet-ups that foster a commitment to defending our democratic values.
Our Vision
We envision a future where living under a fascist regime is not our new "normal." A future where we don't fear for our children's safety at school; a future where due process is upheld; a future where our fellow community members aren't violently kidnapped by ICE & their goons; and a future where we don't live every day in fear, utter distrust and absolute embarassment of our government officials. Can we get there? We have done it before. Throughout history we have beat fascist regimes by standing strong together, we truly believe that we can do it again!
