Dear All,


This month, IndivisibleWin celebrates 15 months since founding and one year since our first No Kings event. From a small group of neighbors, we've grown to over 600 members across multiple communities, hosting rallies, events, and discussions to unite and mobilize our community.


Since our first Steering Committee meeting in March 2025, we have expanded from four to six core members and a consultant. Our activities include producing over 50 newsletters, hosting diverse speakers on topics such as immigration, activism, political dialogue, and democracy. Additionally, we have organized rallies, with the largest attracting over 800 participants, and collaborated with other groups on a snowy Solidarity Walk. We have also sent more than 2,000 postcards to register voters and encourage voting in other states.


Throughout, we've connected with neighbors across the state who oppose the Trump administration's policies, joining actions — such as phone banks, post carding, standouts, zoom trainings, and more — hosted by other organizations .


We are thankful to our members and supporters for their dedication — together, we are making a meaningful impact in defending democracy.
