About us

Afton Indivisible formed early in 2017. We were one of thousands of groups that formed to resist Trump’s agenda. We became part of a nationwide movement.

Now, eight years later, we’re using an newly updated Indivisible Guide to resist Project 2025 and attacks on democracy.

We work both autonomously and in partnership with Indivisible groups in communities across Minnesota and nationwide.

We’re strategic about building power where and when we can, limiting MAGA’s attacks, and holding to our vision of building a truly inclusive multiracial democracy.

Here’s what our organizing looks like.

Roe v. RAGE march and rally

No ruling or law is unchangeable. In partnership with St. Croix Valley Indivisible, we rallied against the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, fighting back against this assault on our dignity and freedom.

Defending democracy

With temperatures well below zero, we with joined with over a hundred Twin Cities Indivisible activists and friends at the Minnesota Capitol for a nationwide night focused on democracy and upholding the right to vote. This event was one of over 200 across the country to advocate for the passage of voting rights legislation.

Rallying for trans kids

In response to attacks that outed an 8-year-old transgender child for political gain, Afton Indivisible organized a coalition of local and statewide organizations to push back against bigotry with love and support for the transgender, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ community. The rally in Hastings, MN, drew 900 people on a blustery December day and received extensive national and local news coverage.

Holding leaders accountable

Leaders at state and national levels know Indivisible. We are vocal in holding these leaders accountable, and we recognize them when they deliver. Here in Minnesota, Indivisible has run Town Hall meetings with Gov. Tim Walz, Senator Tina Smith, and Representative Betty McCollum.

Setting local policing priorities

We took a local at local policing and our ability to shape local policing priorities.

Washington County Sheriff Dan Starry told us about about crisis intervention training and other local policing priorities, including opioid reentry programs and establishing structural support for mental health resources in our community. Lucia Wroblewski, who served over 28 years as a St. Paul police officer, presented an inside look at Crisis Intervention Training and her work coaching St. Paul police to deescalating mental health crises.

Building Community

Organizing is hard work. It’s more fun — and more effective — when we do it in community.

We celebrated our successes with a summer bonfire and social gathering co-sponsored with St. Croix Valley Indivisible.

Making change

We’re people who are new to organizing and seasoned activists, and we’re united in our care for our community. We’re committed to building a healthy multiracial democracy that works for all Minnesotans regardless of their age, race, class, faith, or zip code.
