NEWTON INDIVISIBLE
We are a group of neighbors in and near Newton, Massachusetts, who organize with creativity, joy, passion, and nonviolence in support of democracy and social justice.
What we do
Newton Indivisible is an organic coming-together of friends and families in pursuit of justice and the preservation of democracy. Our members engage in a wide range of issues and activities. Consider joining one of our amazing Action Teams and have fun while defending democracy.
Weekly Saturday Stand Outs
We hold a Weekly Saturday Stand Out in Newton Centre at the intersection of Beacon and Center Streets, 12 Noon to 1 p.m., rain or shine, wind or hail, snow or heat. Join us at the intersection of Beacon and Center Streets.
Bridge Brigades
Four times a week, Bridge Brigades share physical messaging with commuters to connect with and activate voters through “social proof” in the form of weekly inspirational messages that comment on the issues of our time.
Storytelling and Laughtivism
Our storytellers are producing short videos for our social media platforms, and we have launched the “Urgent Care Clinic for Democracy,” a “Dear Lucy” booth that provides diagnosis and prescriptions for political concerns in the tradition of laughtivism.
Pressuring Elected Officials
Our members participate in calling campaigns to state and national elected officials, engage in election advocacy, and conduct liaison work with our senators and congressmen, among other activities. During a recent town hall meeting with Congressman Jake Auchincloss, our members posed tough questions that highlighted the concerns of our community.
Defending Immigrant Rights
We work with LUCE, a coalition of immigrant-led, grassroots organizations building people power for everyone across Massachusetts, grounded in the principles of justice and equity, and deeply committed to keeping our communities safe through organizing, information sharing, and mutual aid.
Action Teams and Executive Committee
The heartbeat of Newton Indivisible is our members working in Action Teams that generate their own activities to celebrate our strength in diversity and to fight the forces that try to divide us, while our Executive Committee handles the big-ticket issues and provides support and coordination of the Action Teams.
