Synopsis

This national bestseller is not only the guiding “centerpiece of a robust new grassroots machinery” (Rolling Stone), it is the story of democracy under threat. It’s the story of a movement rising up to respond. And it’s a story of what comes next.

Shortly after Trump’s 2016 election, two outraged former congressional staffers wrote and posted a tactical guide to resisting the Trump agenda. This Google Doc entitled “Indivisible” was meant to be read by friends and family. No one could have predicted what happened next. It went viral, sparking the creation of thousands of local Indivisible groups in red, blue, and purple states, mobilizing millions of people who had never engaged in politics before. Between one and two million were inspired—they canvassed, caravanned, shouted back, and ran for office.

Proof of concept: A blue 116th House of Representatives.

In We Are Indivisible: A Blueprint for Democracy After Trump, the directors of Indivisible tell the story of the movement. They offer a behind-the-scenes look at how change comes to Washington, whether Washington wants it or not. And they explain how we’ll win the coming fight for the future of American democracy. We Are Indivisible isn’t a book of platitudes about hope; it’s a steely-eyed guide to people power—how to find it, how to build it, and how to use it to save our country.

I had never realized that if you want a democracy, you have to fight for it. Ogie Strogatz – California Indivisible Leader. This is such an important quote for every US voter to remember and a truth that is becoming increasingly clear! I am going to attempt to keep politics out of my review of this t......more

Goodreads review by Micah

This book is neither this nor that. That is, one opens it hoping for a full-blooded account of the rise of Indivisible post 2016, but one quickly gets lost in a too-cute-by-half whitewashing of the messiness of trying to knit together a grassroots uprising with a top-down leadership.
