Which national and local chapters lead major Indivisible campaigns today?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Indivisible operates as a national organization with thousands of autonomous local chapters; national staff provide strategic coordination while local chapters (for example Indivisible SF, Indivisible Oregon, Indivisible Twin Cities, Indivisible Santa Barbara and state networks like Indivisible Illinois) lead major on-the-ground campaigns in their regions [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. The national Indivisible Project runs trainings, calls and resources (co‑founders host weekly national calls) that shape campaign tactics, but local chapters drive most of the specific protests, town halls and targeted actions listed on chapter sites [7] [8] [1].
1. National coordination, local execution: how Indivisible is structured
Indivisible is presented as a movement of thousands of local groups supported by a national staff that “offers strategic leadership, coordination, and support,” meaning the national body produces guides, trainings and centralized calls to action while leaving chapters autonomous to plan and execute local campaigns [1] [9]. The national site and resources (guide, trainings, national calls) set strategy and provide tools such as the Empower app and monthly onboarding trainings; these are explicitly used to equip chapter leaders and volunteers [7] [10].
2. Who’s visibly leading major campaigns today: chapter examples
Local chapters named on public pages are actively leading campaigns. Indivisible SF lists ongoing programs, direct actions and advocacy events in San Francisco (including recent events in December 2025) and solicits volunteers for voter outreach and legislative pressure [2]. Indivisible Oregon advertises coordinated regional actions, weekly national calls hosted by national cofounders, and specific events such as town halls and voter-postcard campaigns tied to statewide priorities [3] [8]. Indivisible Twin Cities and Indivisible Santa Barbara are public-facing local organizations running civic-engagement campaigns, CTAs and partnerships with local groups [4] [5]. Indivisible Illinois lists dozens of local action teams organizing around state and federal targets [6].
3. National leadership’s role and visible actors
The national organization remains visibly active: its website, national calls and guide set national priorities (for instance “stop Project 2025” language and strategic plays) and the co‑founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin are noted as hosting regular national calls that shape campaigns and messaging [10] [8] [7]. Mobilize and Action Network pages connected to Indivisible function as national mobilization hubs to register chapters and coordinate actions across regions [11] [12].
4. Types of “major” campaigns and who runs them
Available materials show several campaign types driven by chapters: in-person protests (e.g., local demonstrations referenced on chapter pages and Wikipedia entries), coordinated boycotts and corporate-targeting actions, voter-registration and postcard-writing drives, town halls and pressure campaigns on local/state electeds [13] [8] [3] [2]. Indivisible’s guide prescribes three “big plays” to coordinate national backlash and local resistance — the national playbook combined with chapter-level autonomy makes chapters the operational leads for most of these activities [10] [1].
5. Disputed reporting and claims about funding/support for actions
Some outlets and watchdogs report financial flows and specific claims about reimbursing protest costs or organizing economic pressure campaigns; InfluenceWatch and other summaries note coverage that Indivisible chapters posted reimbursements for protest supplies and a reported 2025 campaign to pressure brands between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday [14]. Wikipedia likewise documents chapter protests and large gatherings in 2025. These sources indicate controversy and outside scrutiny of tactics and funding; Indivisible’s own public pages emphasize grassroots volunteer activity and national coordination rather than reimbursing individuals [1] [2].
6. What the sources do not say / limitations
Available sources do not provide a definitive ranked list of which single national or local chapter “leads” the biggest campaigns nationwide; instead they show a network model in which national staff provide strategy and many named chapters (SF, Oregon, Twin Cities, Santa Barbara, Illinois chapters) publicly run major local actions and events [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. Financial details, internal decision‑making hierarchies, and a complete roster of which chapters are leading every active national campaign are not provided in these pages (not found in current reporting).
Bottom line: Indivisible’s public materials and chapter sites make clear that national leadership (training, playbooks, cofounder calls) shapes strategy while dozens of local chapters — exemplified by Indivisible SF, Indivisible Oregon, Indivisible Twin Cities, Indivisible Santa Barbara and state networks like Indivisible Illinois — lead the specific major campaigns and actions in their communities [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].
