Indivisible MN03

Indivisible MN03 is a grassroots, constituent-led, all-volunteer group of people from across the political spectrum in Minnesota's third congressional district. We take inspiration from the national Indivisible movement, which uses constituent power to influence legislators throughout the country and hold them accountable for their votes and behavior. The national Indivisible movement was founded after the 2016 U.S. presidential election to oppose authoritarianism and attacks on our democracy.

For 2022, Indivisible MN03 has adopted what we call the ABCs of Congressional District 3, drafted by our board of directors. The ABCs (and a bonus "D") are:

Accountability

• Ethical behavior: We expect our elected officials to set examples: Follow the rules, avoid conflicts of interest, and stand against false claims (like vaccine disinformation and the big lie of “stolen” elections).

• Accessibility: We expect the right to meet with elected officials at all levels of government, and to obtain public records and meeting notices in a timely manner.

Ballot

• Voting rights: We work to expand and defend access to voting, protect election workers and the nonpartisan work they do, and hold accountable those who threaten our democracy.

• Campaign finance: We stand for public funding of elections and for the end of unaccountable corporate and dark money in politics. We oppose the Citizens United ruling because corporations are not people.

• Information: We know an informed public depends on factual information from the news media, government, libraries, and the internet, without censorship or religious favor.

Climate Justice

• Climate change: We acknowledge the critical nature of this threat to humanity and the planet, and its disproportionate impact on communities of color. We advocate for timely and equitable solutions at all levels of government and in the private sector.

• Clean energy: We favor clean, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and an end to the use of fossil fuels.

Democracy

• Diversity, equity, and inclusion: We pledge to listen to those working at every level to identify systemic bias, to be trusted allies, and to oppose the politics of fear, division and hatred which denies the humanity of others.

• Education: We support resources for our educators and school boards as they prepare our students for success in a multi-racial, multi-ethnic nation and world.

• Constitution and courts: We recognize the Constitution as a nonpartisan, evolving document that supports individual liberties (e.g., privacy, citizenship, reproductive freedom) and community responsibilities (e.g., taxation, health and safety, equity).
