Indivisible
Hurley / Woodstock
Our mission
Our mission is to bring people in our community together to inform, support and empower ourselves and each other, to hold our government accountable to all people, support marginalized and vulnerable people, and protect our rights to healthcare, reproductive freedom, education, housing, personal freedoms and a healthy environment. By working together as a grassroots organization and part of the larger Indivisible community, we work to fight oppression, discrimination, authoritarianism, and help foster a true democracy that benefits and supports all beings and the Earth.
What we do
Bi-Monthly Meetings
We meet twice a month, usually on the first and third Wednesdays.
We've adjusted the schedule for April because of Passover: in April, we'll meet on the second Wednesday on Zoom (April 8) and on the fourth Wednesday in person at the Woodstock Public Library with a Zoom option (April 22).
At these meetings, we discuss and move forward the work of our many teams. We currently have committees focusing on the following areas, among others: protests; billboards; local political actions; Democracy Rocks; fund-raising; media; outreach; merchandise - and a brand new one exploring activist art.
We also have social gatherings with other local Indivisible members, usually in weeks when there's no IHW meeting. The next one is coming up on Thursday April 9: 5-7pm at The Pub in Woodstock. (When the weather gets nicer, this group will resume meeting outside at The Colony, on Wednesdays when there's no meeting.)
Weekly Calls to Representatives
We share weekly scripts to empower members to call their elected officials, from NY State Assembly Members to US Senators.
Meetings with our Reps
We meet with our representatives to voice our questions, concerns, and priorities.
Protests
We organize and participate in protests from Woodstock to NYC and DC.
Trainings
We train our members on topics such as conflict resolution.
