Since our founding in 2016, Indivisible has been rooted in the belief that organized people can beat organized hate—and that our power comes not just from our numbers, but from how we show up. From the start, we've been committed to non-violence as a guiding principle in everything we do: our protests, our organizing, and our advocacy.
We reject all forms of political violence and intimidation, no matter the source or the target. That’s not just a moral stance—it’s a strategic one. Movements that create lasting change do so by building trust, forging solidarity, and demonstrating discipline, even in the face of threats or attacks.
Non-violence doesn’t mean backing down. It means standing firm in our values, channeling our anger and our hope into action, and refusing to become what we’re fighting against. We are up against a movement that feeds on fear and chaos. Our answer is a movement grounded in courage, solidarity, and the unshakable belief that a better, more just democracy is worth fighting for—together.
Our Values
We’re building a movement to save democracy and defeat authoritarianism. That work requires more than tactics—it requires shared values that guide how we show up, who we fight for, and what we’re building together.
Democracy is for everyone.
We believe in a multiracial, inclusive democracy—one where everyone has equal rights and equal power, no matter where they live or what they look like. That’s the America we’re fighting for.
We lead with hope—not fear.
Authoritarians want us to feel powerless. They rely on fear and division to keep people on the sidelines. We reject that. We believe in the power of people to change what’s possible, and we act like it.
We organize—we don’t idolize.
We don’t put our faith in individual politicians. We put our energy into organizing. That means holding elected officials accountable, even the ones we support, and supporting and collaborating with the people and communities most impacted by injustice.
Non-violence is our strength.
We are firmly committed to non-violence. That’s not just a moral stance—it’s how we build durable power. We reject political violence and intimidation in all forms. Our resistance is strategic, principled, and grounded in the knowledge that peaceful movements win.
We’re in this together.
This is a movement, not a moment. We have each other’s backs. We care about building real community—across race, class, geography, and generation—because we know that’s the only way we win.
