Indivisible Santa Barbara's Myra Paige is WOMAN OF THE YEAR!

INDIVISIBLE SANTA BARBARA

Indivisible Santa Barbara was founded in January of 2017 with a commitment to advancing national democratic reforms, improving health care access, addressing global climate change, opposing racial injustice, promoting socio-economic equality, protecting our environment, supporting immigration reform and rebuilding our deteriorating infrastructure. Our commitment to these goals is unwavering. Since the inauguration of President Trump in January 2025, these have been distilled into a simpler and more urgent set of goals: to restore democracy from our slide into authoritarianism, and to eliminate the oligarchs’ power from our community.

To achieve our goals, we strive to build community, engage partners (SB Democratic Women, 805UnDocuFund, etc. ), lean on our sister organizations (other Indivisible chapters), and activate our members to join us in acts of serious activism and joyous patriotism. Every week, the citizens of Santa Barbara see us on the streets, important and clever signs in hand, waving for more to join us. Our partners broaden our reach and bring us to communities we need to embrace, but might not have the words for. Our sister organizations stretch our influence from Ventura to Santa Cruz. Join us through our newsletter, our social media, and in person!

Politics is too important to be left up to the politicians.

We are you.  We are government workers.  We are lawyers.  We are office workers.  We are Santa Barbara.  We have never been elected to an office.  Most of us were not activists before 2016.

We love and respect our elected officials from Santa Barbara.  We have great relationships with them (well most of them).  But if there is anything that the new Trump regime has taught us, it is that we cannot wait passively for anyone to save us.  And when we, together with our partners and sister organizations ask, Santa Barbara fills the streets with activists, new and old.

Indivisible Santa Barbara is part of the nationwide Indivisible movement — indivisible.org — with a mission to elect intelligent, moral leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump 2.0 agenda. Indivisible Santa Barbara is a grassroots organization of friends and neighbors living in and around Santa Barbara.

Guiding Principles

In California, we are in a unique position to embolden not only our Members of Congress, but also our California state legislators, who have declared California’s intent to lead the charge against harmful federal policies. Our leaders need to hear our voices: our calls, letters, emails, personal stories, and in-person meetings all have an impact. These actions directly strengthen our Elected Representatives in Congress.  Through our newsletter and social media we are dedicated to providing  the most effective daily and weekly actions possible, and we encourage our members to make them part of their daily routine.

We are growing daily and need YOU to become an organizer, spearhead a committee, make calls, write letters, blog, attend meetings, and more.

  1. We are an inclusive community. We are Democrats, Republicans, Independents and anyone who is concerned about the state of democracy in the United States.
  2. We are Indivisible. We do not propose policy, but are united in our pursuit to oppose harmful legislation. We have a zero-tolerance policy toward in-fighting. As long as Liberals, Progressives, Democrats, and Moderates engage in a circular firing squad, we give our power to the minority–Extreme Conservatives win.
  3. We believe that citizens must act where we live, interacting with our own Members of Congress. We strive to take regular action, daily, weekly, monthly.
  4. We are patriotic Americans. We honor the flag, veterans, immigrants, people of color and followers of all religions.
  5. We believe in peaceful actions, we do not condone violence.
