WHO WE ARE

Middlesex CT Indivisible was created because people demanded it.

Residents in Middletown and the surrounding towns and cities of the county were already engaged in the kinds of activities encouraged, promoted and organized by Indivisible — street protests, visibility activities, letter and card-writing campaigns, petitioning government and elected officials — so it seemed logical to create an official Indivisible chapter to coordinate and organize these activities.

WHY WE EXIST

We exist to create change.  It’s all too obvious that the current president aspires to be an authoritarian leader, and each new day, each new headline or post confirms that he is a dangerous con man.  He’s not alone, he’s got a cadre of appointees, and enabling lawmakers who are bent on restricting Constitutional rights, and dragging us back to the dark ages.  We won’t let them.

WHAT WE’RE DOING ABOUT IT

We meet monthly on the second Tuesday of the month.  We share insights and information.  We communicate about projects.  We seek to inspire and inform.  We have a Facebook, Bluesky, and Instagram presence, and are present on other social media sites.  We are aligned with 50501, and participate in their calls to action. Locally, we are aligned with Middletown Mutual Aid Collective, CT-ACLU, ACLU Wesleyan, MRJC (Middlesex Racial Justice Coalition) and MIRA (Middlesex Immigrant Rights Alliance) and other Indivisible Groups.   We co-sponsor a weekly protest on Middletown’s Main Street that began shortly after the swearing in of the president of our current administration.  Our current MIRA collaboration is conducting trainings for court accompaniment, and rapid response teams. We’re only just getting started.
