WE ARE UNITED IN RESISTANCE

Resist & Persist

If you are upset about the direction that our country has taken, you are not alone. It’s not enough to be angry or scared and you can’t pretend that it isn’t happening. You can’t assume that others will handle it for you. It is up to you now. Your voice matters.

About Us The “Fighting Fifth”

Indivisible Northern New Jersey represents the interests of New Jersey’s 5th Congressional District. Our mission is to ensure that our elected officials in Washington accurately and actively represent our positions. We belong to a larger coalition of groups, each with the common goal of resisting the Trump agenda and mobilizing citizens against it.

What is Indivisible?

Founded by former congressional staffers, The Indivisible Guide was created as a playbook for how to ensure that our elected officials truly represent our needs. Inspired to action by the publication of this guide, thousands of local groups have formed across the country.

Partner Organizations Aligned in Resistance

We proudly partner with organizations large and small, established and grassroots alike to join together in resistance to policies that adversely impact the people in our communities.

How To Resist Learn How to Take Action

Your voice matters. Not just by voting every four years, but by daily actions that strengthen our democracy and your stake in it. If there is anything good that can come out of what has transpired in our country lately, it’s this awakening and it’s essential that you are a part of it. As members of Indivisible Northern New Jersey, you will be involved with:

  • ENGAGING OFFICIALS

    Engaging our elected officials to ensure that they are working on our behalf rather than special interests. This includes coordinated efforts to meet with our representatives, keeping in contact with them and following their actions closely.

  • BUILDING COALITIONS

    Working with similarly aligned groups to build a broader coalition and stronger resistance.

  • FOSTERING COMMUNITY

    Creating a supportive community based on civic engagement and shared responsibility.

  • ACTIVATING CITIZENS

    Reaching out to fellow citizens in your area to get them involved and mobilize their efforts.

Who To Contact Your Elected Officials

Your elected officials, like most politicians, are working hard to represent us. However, in order to help fund their re-election campaigns, they generally spend more time interacting with special interests, fundraisers and lobbyists than us citizens — and this needs to change. As the people of the 5th District, we will support our elected officials when they work in our interests and make sure they know when they stray from that commitment.
