ABOUT US AND OUR ACTIONS

The Indivisible movement is a progressive grassroots movement of millions of activists across every state. Indivisible.org if you would like to see more and we also have resources to get you joined with us or start your own. Our Appalachian Edge Indivisible group has been known to be a little different than the majority but we overall want the same things. A for the people by the people system, an abolishment of places and organizations of brutality, accountability for the men who violate women and children, a trustworthy, inclusive and diverse public education, our parks and forests safe, clean air, water and soil, end partnerships with Israel and free Palestine and free Iran, Congo and Sudan too. We can go on and on and on. The entire world should be able to work together in harmony but we have too many rich men who want control of everything.

 

Here, we are actively building a community of like minded folks ready to put their bodies where they are needed. We are hoping to embolden and empower the folks in our red district to stand up with us or host protests and actions in your area, we need folks out everywhere. We have been pretty successful with this since we have started out here and we are so proud of southern Ohio and all of the groups big or small that are out there fighting and doing the work daily. We need to be seen and heard, red rural areas will not keep being forgotten about and they’ll hear that we do have a voice and they’ve kept folks in the dark for too long. You are not alone, there are many of us out here and we're helping you find them.​

 

Right now an Indivisible action is to ensure Democrats are elected this November no matter what specifically Sherrod Brown and we are to hold the seat for Landsman and Kaptur. Most folks are under the impression that we only have the democrats endorsing candidates but in some titles and districts we have others. 

Our goal is to inform folks on all of the candidates for them to make their own educated decision. Our group does not support and will not support candidates that support Israel, are not pro-trans and or are supportive of ICE. A public direct and clear statement along with an action is needed by these candidates and we should be demanding these things of them, before the election. Our lead wanted to say something about this to let our folks know where she stands exactly and is direct and transparent with you. Be sure to go to our other pages on our website after reading the statement and read about what we are trying to fully accomplish here. We will share her statement here:

 

A statement from our lead:

“My stance is strong against any candidates that are pro-Israel and genocide as well as against the trans community and those that support ICE and if there are better candidates, I will vote for the best option for Ohio. I believe our democrats should be ensuring the folks are educated and knowledgeable of all of the information that is needed to know. We need the people to vote for the people, not the democrats to vote for the people which is equal to the republicans gerrymandering our maps. We are not saying do not vote for a specific candidate ie Sherron Brown, we are saying look into all of the candidates on the ballot. We have a socialist running against Husted and Brown that we recommend you look into. Do you want to be told who to vote for or choose for yourself? Brown received over a million dollars from AIPAC and proudly supported Israel. Greg Levy, socialist, stands firm with Palestine but there are many many other reasons why you should look into every candidate to make your own choice. Amy Acton made an anti-trans statement about children that harmed a lot of voters and all she did to save face was post a pro lgbtq+ sentence to her website and not a public statement. I will be demanding her to make a public statement recanting what she said and ensure the people know she supports the trans community. If you look into other states and elections you will see that candidates that are firmly pro trans, win the elections and those who do not support trans folks, do not win their elections. We need some of these people in office however we need to at least, at minimum, demand what you want from your democrats now, not after they are elected (if they are elected). Showing and telling them we will vote for them no matter what and they see vote blue down your ballot, why would we think they would do anything for the people or listen to us when we do start asking more questions? Ask questions now, ensure they know who they will be working for. For those who believe and say that voting for a non 2 party candidate is throwing out votes away. Sherrod Brown lost his last election and many many folks are not voting for pro-Israel candidates whatsoever. Those folks are folks who vote. If you want everyone to vote for the same person, maybe choose a person that everyone would vote for.

 

Trigger warning but needs to be put into perspective: If your child was forced to live in tents, was bombed everyday and starved and other countries could vote to save your child. Would you want them to vote for you or deal with it later after they elect the folks who want to force your children into tents, get bombed everyday and starved? I would do anything to give my child the best I possibly could and that includes my votes and my voice. I know a lot of us think differently, I am not trying to upset you or force you to change your thoughts or feelings but only to think about every option and path. We have the power to truly change everything if we truly chose to instead of choosing the same outcome every time.”
