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
At our twice-monthly meetings, we discuss and move forward the work of our many teams. We currently have groups focusing on the following areas, among others: protests and other local political actions; billboards (funded by proceeds from our Democracy Rocks concerts!); arts activism; fund-raising and merchandise; and social media.
We also regularly invite guests – people in important positions both nationally and locally. Recently we’ve had conversations with Jeff Collins, Ulster Co. legislator for District 23, and Ashley Torres, Ulster Co. Election Commissioner. In May we invited John Bonifaz of Free Speech for People to talk to us about election security.
On the first Wednesday of each month, we meet on Zoom (link provided to all members), and on the third Wednesday, we meet in person at the Woodstock Public Library (with a Zoom option). Next meetings: Wed. September 16 in person, Wed. October 7 on Zoom. 6pm.
We also have social gatherings with other local Indivisible members, on Wednesdays when there's no IHW meeting, 5-7pm at The Colony in Woodstock.
