OUR MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of NYCD16-Indivisible is to serve as an organizing home and operational base for progressive-minded constituents of the 16th congressional district to collaborate at the local, state and federal levels to take meaningful political action together. Our goal is to continue to fight for justice and social change, holding our Democratic elected officials accountable, and opposing the extremist and anti-democratic actions of the Republican party.

OUR GUIDING VALUES 

  • We seek to work in allyship and coalition with other groups focused on achieving racial, social, and economic justice;
  • We embrace diversity, equity and inclusion;
  • We welcome all levels of participation, respecting each other’s ability to give the time that they can;
  • We will trust each other and have each other’s back;
  • We will demonstrate kindness, respect and love even toward those with whom we disagree;
  • When we disagree, we will challenge what a person says or does and refrain from attacking the person.

OUR HISTORY

NYCD16 Indivisible was created in the middle of a snowstorm in January of 2017, when a bunch of stressed out friends got together to discuss how to resist the Trump agenda. Using the Indivisible guide as inspiration, the group was born. Since that cold day we have held monthly meetings, our membership has grown to over 1,200. We have multiple active committees, we’ve organized town halls, forums, trainings, and we’ve worked on many campaigns both locally and nationally. We’ve had lots of successes and we keep getting stronger and stronger.

The members of NYCD16 Indivisible are ORGANIZED TO WIN!
