Our Mission
Morgan County, WV Indivisible advocates rebuilding our democracy through tireless effort and peaceful civil engagement. We will resist the current status by challenging the oligarchy, holding elected officials accountable and supporting progressive values to reshape an equitable society.
Our Value Statement
Democracy is a shared responsibility. Change takes effort and engagement by many people. We will:
- Build an inclusive membership
- Show integrity by leading with honesty and demanding the same of elected officials.
- Persevere and demonstrate that we are committed to doing the everyday work of organizing, advocating, and showing up.
We’re not the leaders of this movement: YOU ARE!
The Power of the People is Greater Than the People in Power…..But Only If We Use It
We are grateful that our public demonstrations in Berkeley Springs have been and will continue to be peaceful, by plan and in practice.
RISE UP, SING OUT! An afternoon of song & solidarity
SUNDAY JUNE 14th from 2:00–3:30 pm. We will gather at the Morgan Co Courthouse, Berkeley Springs, WV
We’ve got more important issues to tend to than DJT’s birthday! Even as authoritarians increase their attacks on our freedoms and communities, we see examples across the country of people rising up together, taking action, and turning back those forces. Showing up matters. We’ve proved that, and we’ll keep proving that.
Join us for an uplifting afternoon of song & solidarity featuring our very own all-star musicians, as we celebrate the freedoms guaranteed by our First Amendment—of speech, religion, press, assembly, and protest—and the people power that both fuels these rights and is essential to guarantee them.
🎶 IT’S FLAG DAY! 🇺🇸 BRING YOUR VOICE, A FLAG, A FRIEND, & A JOYFUL SPIRIT 🎶
| ***A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values, & to act lawfully.
