Indivisible Polk County is a local movement of everyday Oregonians organizing on the ground to stop the rise of authoritarianism in the United States and to build a real democracy that works for all of us.
Indivisible Polk County promotes democracy by providing tools, training, and strategic coordination, and connection to members of the Polk County, Oregon community.
We know that democracy only works when everyday people organize, show up, and hold those in power accountable.Β
Welcome WOU students! πΊ We were so excited to visit with so many students at the annual MI Town Celebration! It was inspiring to see how many young adults want to be more civically engaged π
On September 19th, we hosted a themed rally in Dallas, OR to share the signs of fascism. Recognizing and pushing back against rising authoritarianism is critical to our mission to protect democracy.Β
We were so honored to host speaker and educator, Donna Cohen on Sept. 13th for an incredibly informative civics lesson! This was a free workshop hosted in Dallas, OR where we learned about the founders of our government, the Constitution, and current legal interpretations. Thank you Donna and thank you to everyone who joined us!Β
Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of our nation's democractic process. Indivisible Polk County encourages every Oregonian to check their voter registration at vote.org and encourage family, friends and neighbors to VOTE!Β
Indivisible Polk County's candidate recommendations coming soon!!!
The "SAVE" Act would require every voter to show proof of citizenship, like a passport or original birth certificate, when registering to vote in federal elections. That might sound simple, but the reality is that millions of eligible voters donβt have these documents readily available. Because these bills would require showing this proof in person, it would eliminate online and mail-in voter registration.Β
Indivisible Polk County stands against the senseless violence perpetuated by ICE in our Oregon communities. We demand that our members of Congress stand up against attempts to provide further funding to ICE and Border Patrol and step in to shut down ICE's detention centers. Further we demand accountability, transparency, and immediate and independent investigation into incidents of violence involving ICE and Border Patrol agents.
