Frequently Asked Questions

We're a community group based in Chico and Butte County. We focus on civic engagement and direct action to advocate for our local representation and community needs, especially concerning federal policies impacting rural Northern California. We organize events, share reliable local and national information, support voter participation, and connect with allied organizations across Northern California. We're non-partisan, with a focus on issues, accountability, and showing up for our community. Everyone is welcome, regardless of party affiliation. We believe in protecting voting rights, ensuring elected officials are accountable to constituents (not just donors), and reforming government to serve all people. Our work is always guided by core values such as inclusivity, peaceful action, transparency, education, local focus, data-driven advocacy, and respectful dialogue. Indivisible Chico is a non-partisan, community-led, grassroots organization committed to empowering Chico residents. Our unique strength lies in our dedication to District 1 accountability and our ability to mobilize large community coalitions, supported by a strong national Indivisible presence. Local Indivisible groups bring people together to take action on issues affecting their communities and democracy. These grassroots groups organize events, advocate for policies, support civic engagement, and hold elected officials accountable. Each group operates independently, focusing on the needs and priorities of its members while staying connected to the broader movement for change.

Welcome! We're really glad you found us! The best first step is to subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on socials. That's how we share upcoming events, action alerts, and ways to plug in.

Stay informed by following trusted sources, sharing information, and encouraging others to engage. Whether you have time to make calls, show up at rallies, or support behind the scenes, your participation helps build a stronger, more representative democracy. Note: After you sign up, it may take a few days before you start receiving our newsletter. If you haven't heard from us within a week, feel free to reach out through the contact form on our website.

Indivisible Chico is an all-volunteer organization. We don't have paid staff positions. Everything we do is made possible by neighbors like you giving their time and energy.

The most reliable way is our Community Calendar, but we also keep our socials up to date, and an email newsletter. We share events on Facebook, Bluesky, Instagram. If you see different times or locations listed in different places for the same event, the event page on our website is always the most up-to-date source.

We love partnering with allied organizations and community voices! For tabling, reach out through our contact form as soon as possible so we can confirm your spot and get you load-in details. For speaking opportunities, please reach out as early as possible — our event programs fill up quickly. Include a brief description of what you'd like to share and how it connects to our community's work.
