Welcome to Indivisible Central Ohio, formerly Indivisible Columbus!

We are residents of the Columbus, Ohio, area who are committed to resisting the Trump agenda locally by contacting our U.S. Representatives and Senators. We are part of the Indivisible Movement that was launched in December 2016 with the release of Indivisible: A Practical Guide For Resisting the Trump Agenda.

Read the guide and then join or form a local group to join the Resistance!

We’ve merged groups (thank you, gerrymandering). In 2024 and beyond, please check out IndivisibleCentralOhio.org for posts, actions, and details!

On this site, we have linked to ICO’s calendar, so the entries here give you a first stept.

Guiding Principles

Trump is an authoritarian and psychologically unfit to be president.
No circular firing squads. Democrats/independents/progressives are great at arguing amongst themselves while extremists seize power.
We must be inclusive. Trump’s policies affect everyone, but marginalized communities will be hit hardest.

It was a big one! (You might be able to see photos of our 2017 meeting here.) We’re not quitters! Eight years later and we’re still here, ready to do it all over again. Whether you are brand new to this group, have been with us since the beginning, or something in between, please plan to join us on Saturday, February 8, from 1-2:30pm for our 2025 kickoff! This is a chance to orient new members, re-energize “old” members, and recruit for specific projects and plans. We’re interested in your ideas and input. Please join us!
