Indivisible Wabash Valley: On a mission to ‘remake the democracy'
WABASH VALLEY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — 'Liberty and justice for all' is the motto of Indivisible, a nationwide organization with chapters all across the United States including right here in the Wabash Valley.
The organization's goal being to 'remake the democracy.'
'We just want the government to stop being a thing that is by the billionaires and for the billionaires,' said Karina Moffett, a member of Indivisible Wabash Valley. 'We want it to start being more back what we originally wanted the United States to be of the people, by the people, for the people.'
Indivisible's mission is to form an inclusive, diverse lasting network of organizations that can work together.
'Indivisible nationwide is really great at getting help organizations to work together, so things like food pantries, ACLU, shelters, things like that. All sharing resources and people power in working together so they're more efficient,' said Moffett.
At the Vigo County Courthouse, you can find Indivisible Wabash Valley often making their voices heard.
'People have been really disconnected from activism, from their government, and getting them to see what we are,' said Janet Wall-Myers, a member of Indivisible Wabash Valley. 'If we want our voices to be heard, we have to be active. We have to speak.'
The national organization was formed in 2016 in response to the election of Donald Trump. The group states this is not about political affiliation.
'It's not that we are anti-Republican we are just pro-democracy. So, if we are against a specific politician that's because they are anti-democracy not because we are anti-republicans,' said Moffett.
The group of men and women you often see protesting at the Vigo County Courthouse is Indivisible Wabash Valley, with peace as their state of mind.
'We usually don't call it a protest. We call it a rally because we like to keep it more positive if we can,' said Moffett.
Indivisible Wabash Valley is always accepting new members into their organization no matter what age, background, or affiliation you come from.
'Everyone is welcome as long as you are interested in upholding the Constitution and making sure the democracy continues,' said Wall-Myers. 'It doesn't matter what political party you come from. It doesn't matter if you've been active in politics before or not.'
Although there are no rules or requirements to become a member of the organization, there is one specific and important request.
'We are very focused on being nonviolent. We want to keep everything very peaceful. Like I said, we have children that come and participate with us, and we want everybody to be safe. So that's really our only requirement. Do you believe in fighting for democracy, and do you want to remain nonviolent with us,' said Moffett.
Indivisible nationwide will be calling for a day of action on Saturday, July 14th. The local chapter has plans of a peaceful protest at the Vigo County Courthouse from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
