A Real Democracy of, by, & for the People: Indivisible

Logo of Chippewa Valley Indivisible

Today we're catching a glimpse of the organization Indivisible and, specifically, Chippewa Valley Indivisible, the local chapter here in the place I happen to live. There are hundreds, even thousands, of chapters nationwide. Indivisible's vision is “A real democracy - of, by, and for the people.” and they state that, “We have to build a democracy that reflects a broad, multiracial 'we the people', one that works for all of us and is sustained by all of us. Only then will we be able to achieve a progressive vision for our future.” Cyndi Greening is the group leader of the Chippewa Valley Indivisible group. Cyndi is new as an activist organizer, but she has come powerfully into that role, which bodes well locally, but also all around the country, as leaders arise, called for the right work at the right time.

Great conversation with Mark about Chippewa Valley Indivisible's grassroots effort to reunite our communities and rebuild a government that works for everyone. I really enjoyed the values discussion we had and the deeper spiritual connection that pulls us toward the good. It was exciting to talk about a life commited to activism and creating a world with everyone included and no one left out. And, most importantly, it is really great to hear Patti Smith's People Have the Power making a comeback to inspire another generation as she "commits her dream" to those just joining the fight.
