How to Build a Big Tent (Without It Collapsing on You)

Welp, rehabilitating the Democratic Party was never going to make everybody happy. This week, we dig into what the Colorado primary results tell us about what the party voters actually …want, why the establishment freakout is a feature and not a bug, and the latest damage from the MAGA Supreme Court.

Then we take your questions on election sabotage, immigrant defense, and what the plan actually is.

Indivisible is a nationwide grassroots movement empowering everyday people to defend democracy and hold those in power accountable. Founded in 2016, it has grown into a network of 2,000+ local, volunteer-led groups across the country taking action in their communities.

Through organizing, advocacy, and collective action, Indivisible supports people in fighting for fair elections, pushing back against harmful policies, and building a democracy that works for everyone—not just the wealthy or well-connected.

Together, we show up, speak out, and create change.

IPV is a part of the Indivisible Movement, a progressive grassroots coalition of millions of activists across every state, fueled by a partnership between thousands of autonomous local Indivisible groups and a national staff. Indivisible’s national team offers strategic leadership, movement coordination, and support to Indivisible activists, and also directly lobbies Congress, builds partnerships, runs media campaigns, and develops advocacy strategies.  Together we fight to defeat the right-wing takeover of the American government and build an inclusive democracy.
