WHAT IS INDIVISIBLE SF?

Indivisible SF unites San Franciscans in opposition to President Trump’s agenda. Our actions are informed by the Indivisible Guides, which detail effective ways to influence the people who represent us at the national and state-levels.

WHAT ACTIONS DOES INDIVISIBLE SF TAKE?

We influence our Members of Congress (MoCs) by expressing our views in four ways:

  • Meeting with our MoCs and their staff. Indivisible SF and other Indivisibles are in contact with the offices of Senators Padilla and Schiff, and regular meetings with Representatives Pelosi and Mullin.

  • Attending MoC-sponsored events, especially town halls.

  • Mass calling. Each week, Indivisible SF members make hundreds of calls to our MoCs.

  • Media. Indivisible SF is a fast-growing chapter of the burgeoning Indivisible movement. The media is taking notice and we intend to use that attention to influence our MoCs and public policy.

WHO CAN JOIN?

We are an inclusive group that welcomes people of all backgrounds and beliefs. Our only requirement for membership is active opposition to Trump’s policies and respect for our Code of Conduct. The short version:

  • Respect other members’ privacy

  • Be patient

  • Be respectful

  • Be welcoming

  • Be courteous to Congressional staffers

HOW DO I JOIN?

You can do any or all of these:

  1. Join our email list. You will receive our weekly scripts for calling your MoCs, information about recent and upcoming actions, and the date and time of our next meeting, as well as other information.

  2. Follow us on social media .

  3. Attend a meeting. This isn’t mandatory, but we encourage you to attend at least one meeting to get to know our community and see how we operate.

HOW MUCH TIME DOES THIS REQUIRE?

We only ask that you make three phone calls a week, One to each of your three MoCs (your Representative and both Senators). That takes less than 15 minutes total. We provide scripts each week to make it easy for you to call about the issue we’ve agreed to focus on. You’ll have opportunities to get further involved — for example, by writing emails or attending a meeting with one of your MoCs — but those activities are optional.

DO I HAVE TO COME TO EVERY MEETING?

No. Reaching out to MoCs is the most important part of our work, and you can do that without attending a meeting. We do encourage new members to attend at least one meeting to meet our community, learn about our process, and participate in guiding our work. 

WHAT GOOD CAN INDIVISIBLE SF DO IN A ULTRA-LIBERAL CITY LIKE SAN FRANCISCO? 

Our MoCs are particularly powerful and they represent us! Through our work, we influence them to wield that power on our behalf. Our state elected officials can help protect us in the Trump administration.

I’M NOT A CITIZEN. CAN I STILL JOIN? 

Yes! The US Constitution ensures equal representation for everyone who lives in the United States, regardless of immigration status. Even if you aren’t eligible to vote in the US, you have the right to be heard by your representatives in Congress.

DO I HAVE TO REGISTER TO VOTE TO JOIN?

No. The Constitution ensures equal representation for everyone who lives in the United States, and that means you have the right to be heard by your representatives in Congress even if you didn’t participate in electing them. (That said, voting is one major way to make your voice heard, so we do encourage you to register!)
