In the spirit of the congressional staff workers who gathered our energy through The Indivisible Guide, this little zine, The Indivisible Front comes to you from the mountain town of Ruidoso, New Mexico. We are the storm, and The Indivisible Front lets you know what’s coming up, and what kind of tasks you can do in the meantime. Those seeking to customize this zine for their own group can access a how-to guide here. We ask only that you proceed with a civil tongue, a positive tone, and laser-sharp determination that the democracy worth fighting for is truthful, civil, and compassionate for all. Share the link, and reach for The Indivisible Front for resources, tools, morale, and ideas to support local, state, and national action items. Make it work for your group. It’s gonna take all of us.

MORALE

This painful time in our nation’s history yields these insights: 1. Ours is a heritage of movements, and as descendants of immigrants, suffragists, and civil rights advocates, we are tough enough for this journey. 2. Renewing our commitment to preserve democracy brings us out of complacency and into unity.. Such renewal carries a fresh energy, and with it, perhaps the change that hope alone did not.

TOOLS What will we need on this journey? This zine will give you the field kit. Included are great finds and suggestions for how to personalize for your own regional or group needs. We’ll include resources such as, but not limited to:

   Sage Advice on Not Getting  Drawn in to Trump’s Drama Some sound advice about coun-  tering Trump without being drawn  into his self-induced frenzy.   How to Cope With PostElection Stress Psychologists  weigh in on how to manage politi-   cal anxiety and move forward. Hang in there. You’re part of something indivisible!
