From Carpinteria, Calif. to Kansas City, Mo. to Charlottesville, Va., pockets of resistance—catalyzed by the “Indivisible Guide”—to the Trump administration are popping up nationwide.
“It’s about resistance and your local communities rising up,” said Barbara Dehart, co-founder of Indivisible Women Nevada County, to CBS Sacramento.
The Indivisible manual was written by former congressional staffers, who, as the Los Angeles Times wrote this week, were “trying to deploy the same strategies against President Trump that made the anti-Obama tea party so successful.” And now, branches of this indivisible movement—composed of many fledgling activists—are harnessing the tactics to target lawmakers in their home districts, on issues ranging from Trump’s controversial immigration ban to his education secretary, Betsy DeVos.
Take Indivisible KC, where the local group on Tuesday targeted the Kansas City field office of Senator Roy Blunt and denounced the travel ban.
The building of the 3,000-strong group, said Indivisible KC organizer Allegra Dalton to local KSBH, “is just kind of happening organically.” She added: “We may not have the power as progressives right now to set an agenda for a long time to come, so what we need to do is shine a light on the agenda that is being set.”
