How to Use the Guide
The Guide for New Groups is a 30–60–90 Day Plan that walks new Indivisible groups through their first three months of organizing. In the first 30 days, you’ll get connected, meet your Organizer, join trainings, set up your group’s structure, schedule your first meeting, and establish your communications and online presence. By 60 days, you’ll hold your first meeting, start building leadership, have 1:1 conversations, evaluate Indivisible tools, create a decision-making process, and begin growing your membership. By 90 days, you’ll take action, deepen partnerships, form working groups, hold your second meeting, engage in campaigns, set up organizing tools, and use the Group Support Hub to guide your next steps.

🏛️ Establish structure
This guide outlines best practices for structuring an Indivisible group—from defining your values to creating leadership roles, building inclusive decision-making, and using EveryAction. It helps groups get organized, stay focused, and grow sustainably.
📢 Establish social media or website
A website or social handle helps your group reach new members, communicate clearly, and stay connected with your community.
📍 Days 31-60
🤝 Have your first meeting
Bringing together members of your Indivisible group through recurring meetings is a great way to build deeper relationships with one another, engage and communicate with all your members, collectively plan for the future, and put the fun in organizing fundamentals.
🌱Cultivate Leadership
Many Indivisible groups have a single leader, but a single leader can’t effectively lead an Indivisible group for long. You need a leadership team to be successful.
💬Set-up some 1/1’s
No matter how many new and exciting digital tools we develop to organize and stay in touch, there will never be a replacement for face to face conversations.
🗳️Establish a Decision Making Structure
With vibrant, diverse, and passionate members but limited time, we know that it can sometimes be tough to make decisions efficiently. This guidance provides ways that your group could use to help reach decisions.
🧰 Build your group
Use these ideas and tools to recruit for a strong and resilient group.
