One strong family lends strength to more.

Indivisible Chico's Mission
Indivisible Chico’s mission is to mobilize and empower our community to resist injustice and protect democracy through non-partisan, civic engagement and community building. By holding space for a unified, compassionate, collaborative movement, we build local strength in numbers to advocate for our representation and needs.
Indivisible Chico is part of a larger national movement
led by an organization called Indivisible. As neighbors and friends, we gladly work alongside the many like-minded groups in Chico who step up to help promote a better vision of our shared democracy.
"What's the Point?"
A common question that comes up anywhere when there's a protest or a march or a rally is something along the lines of "What's the point in the signs and silly costumes in the face of these real-world, serious problems?"
That is certainly a valid question. There are a lot of things happening right now that deserve to be seriously, intelligently considered. Everyone should be looking at these things for themselves and asking very real, very difficult questions.
It is hard work. And everyone needs to be doing it.
But not everyone realizes that, or has that awareness. Not everyone knows how to start the process of asking these questions. Awareness events are a way for people to approach these conversations safely and engagingly.
The more people who can get involved, the more impact these events can have. It is not about an immediate result.
It is about showing solidarity and community, being involved in the preservation of what is important to all of us.
As a group.

Help Us Help Out
Some folks today are angry, some are scared, and some are just politically-minded and observant. There is a lot of chaos and uncertainty to navigate, and a lot of drastic changes impacting our democracy right now, and it has a lot of us fired up.
First of all, Good.
We should care. We should be animated by what is happening.
None of the last few months should be considered "normal."
We can't sit idly by and let this warped version of American Democracy take any more of a solid form than it already has. People are suffering, even dying, for political score-cards, and that's not what this Grand American Experiment was about.
Secondly, the question becomes: So Now What?
None of us really have any one, single, all-knowing answer to that. Indivisible Chico is trying to be smart about how we resist these changes to our country. We're trying to coordinate with our national and state and local networks to help our communities stand strong.
The common thread that binds it all, however, is our community. We believe that everything gets built on that.
So we encourage you to reach out to your friends, neighbors, or other folks around town and make connections. Have conversations. Share experiences. Be real with each other about what your country and democracy mean to you and see where things are similar and where they are different, where those ideas align.
Looking for a way to help, today? Show up at an event and add to the community's voice, so we can all realize that
we're not alone.
We at Indivisible Chico are looking to help our community, in a moment that is constantly changing. The new resistance, in the preservation of our democracy, has to be adaptive and unifying.
We invite you to join us in helping our local corner of democracy, CA District 1. Bring your concerns, your energy, your skills, and your imagination to volunteering.
