Ely Indivisible

Welcome!

We are a feisty group located on the edge of the beautiful Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northeastern Minnesota.

Who We Are

Ely Indivisible is a grassroots community group founded in July 2025, in conjunction with Indivisible National. We are working to expand and protect our democracy, and protect Minnesota’s traditional progressive values.

These Minnesota values center on cooperation and the common good, values that are deeply rooted in the state’s rich history. The robust cooperative movement was incubated in the mining region of northern Minnesota, along with progressive politics, in large part due to its early Nordic immigrant culture.

This ethos has influenced Minnesota’s progressive policies throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, which aim to serve the collective welfare of ALL its residents.

Vision

We envision an America that works for everyone. An America where working people can afford housing, high quality healthcare, childcare, elder care, and all the basics like groceries. An America, where every child is given the opportunity to soar by getting an excellent education regardless of zip code.

We do this by influencing our representatives in government, advocating for policies that advance economic, racial, gender, and environmental justice; participating in electoral work; and allying with groups across the country to protect our rights and build a vibrant, participatory democracy and a better future for all.

Building a coalition across the US, made up of a broad array of allied pro-democracy groups, that takes strategic action and keeps drawing attention to the damage the Republicans are doing, is the only way to defeat MAGA in 2026-28 and into the future.

Ely Indivisible is inspired by the original 2016 Indivisible Guide — later by the updated 2020 Indivisible Guide and, most recently, by the 2024 Indivisible: A Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink. Written by Indivisible’s Founders and Co-Executive Directors, Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, who were previously Congressional staffers, Indivisible’s Guides offer a practical approach for fighting against the authoritarian MAGA regime and fixing our democracy.

America demands a paradigm shift that ensures no one is left behind in the pursuit of a better future.
