WHO WE ARE
Lincoln County Indivisible is part of the Indivisible network, a grassroots American movement founded in 2016, with thousands of chapters across the U.S. We work in solidarity and in coalition with others to create our vision of a real democracy — of, by, and for the people. We strive to build a democracy that reflects a broad, multiracial “we the people,” one that works for all of us and is sustained by all of us. Only then will we be able to achieve a progressive vision for our future.
