In a community as unique and interconnected as the Jemez Valley, grassroots engagement is the heartbeat of local progress. At the center of this movement is Jemez Area Indivisible, a dedicated group of neighbors working together to foster a more informed, inclusive, and active community.
To make their resources, advocacy, and meeting information even more accessible, Jemez Area Indivisible has officially joined JemezVillage.com—bringing local civic engagement straight to our community’s central digital hub.
Who is Jemez Area Indivisible?
Jemez Area Indivisible is a local, autonomous chapter of the nationwide Indivisible movement. Composed of everyday citizens, the group organizes on the ground to defend democratic values, promote social and economic justice, and build a stronger democracy from the grassroots level up.
Rather than letting major political and social decisions happen behind closed doors, this group ensures that the voices of Jemez Valley residents are heard loud and clear by local, state, and federal leaders.
What They Do for the Jemez Community
The group’s impact stretches across various pillars of community advocacy and education:
- Voter Empowerment: Organizing voter registration drives and providing non-partisan educational resources so every eligible voter can confidently make their voice heard at the ballot box.
- Civic Education: Hosting regular meetings, discussions, and guest speaker events featuring local leaders, advocates, and policy experts to keep the community informed on critical issues.
- Legislative Advocacy: Keeping a close eye on state and national legislation, coordinating peaceful actions, and organizing letter-writing or phone-banking campaigns to hold elected officials accountable.
- Community Values: Championing crucial local issues, from environmental conservation and the New Mexico Green Amendment to healthcare access, reproductive rights, and equal protections for all.
The National Indivisible Movement
To fully understand the impact of our local chapter, it helps to look at the power of the national movement behind it.
The Indivisible movement began in late 2016 when a group of former congressional staffers wrote a practical, step-by-step guide on how everyday citizens could successfully influence their elected officials. This document, known as the Indivisible Guide, quickly went viral and sparked a massive nationwide phenomenon.
Today, Indivisible is a powerful grassroots network consisting of thousands of local, volunteer-led chapters across all 50 states. The core philosophy of the main organization is simple yet highly effective: real political power starts at the local level. While the national organization provides strategic tools, research, and training, it is the local chapters—like Jemez Area Indivisible—that decide how to apply those tools to best serve their unique communities. By focusing on direct constituent advocacy (such as calling representatives, attending town halls, and voting), the Indivisible network ensures that regular citizens have the collective power to stand up to powerful special interests.
