Indivisible Boise Chapter One is a citizens group formed to resist the Trump agenda whenever it threatens inclusion, fairness and honesty in government. In his first few weeks in office, President Trump has packed his cabinet with unqualified and self-serving billionaires, issued a flurry of executive orders that threaten traditional American principles, cut regulations that protect our environment, upset long-standing international alliances, and launched a full-scale attack on our free press. Rather than “draining the swamp,” he is putting guards around it.
Indivisible Boise Chapter One monitors how Members of Congress from Idaho—Rep. Mike Simpson, Rep. Russ Fulcher, Sen. Mike Crapo and Sen. Jim Risch—respond to this agenda. When issues arise that fly in the face of inclusion, fairness, and honesty, we make sure our representatives in Washington know of our opposition. We visit their local offices, we call their staff, we send emails, we mail post cards, we demand town meetings, we organize rallies, we march. In all these ways, we make sure they hear us, and we remind them they serve at our pleasure.
Coordination. Focus. Persistence. These principles are stressed in an online political action guide written by a group of former congressional staffers. Called Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda, the guide shows concerned citizens how to turn the political tables by using the same strategies employed so effectively by the Tea Party movement against the Obama administration. Since its Internet launch in December, the guide has been viewed by over three million users and downloaded two million times. And today almost 6,000 local Indivisible groups—at least two in every Congressional district in the country—are putting its advice into action.
