About Us
The Consolidated Oregon Indivisible Network - COIN - is made up of Indivisible groups from across Oregon that collaborate to protect democracy and implement progressive values through voter outreach and education, campaigns and elections, holding elected leaders accountable, and advocating for legislation that best reflects our values.
We are part of Indivisible, a nationwide movement of thousands of volunteer-led local groups that engage in progressive advocacy and electoral work at the local, state, and national level.

The New Indivisible Guide
Indivisible's co-founders and co-executive directors, Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, have done it again. They've provided us with a revised version of the Indivisible Guide to help us prepare for the next two years. Download it and read it for yourself - it's short (27 pages) and to the point. Here's a very quick overview of the guide:
Who it's for: Anyone who lives in America and is upset, scared, and determined. You want to do your part to protect your family, your neighbors, and democracy from Trump 2.0. Maybe you’re a current Indivisible group leader or member or maybe you’re brand new - welcome!
What this guide is: A set of strategies and practical first steps to help you get started. It’s not everything we need to do. We’re going to need a lot of different people and groups to do their part. We don’t have all the answers yet, but we know we need to put one foot in front of the other.
How to use it: Join or form a local Indivisible group or review this guide with your existing group, and start putting the parts of this into action that make sense for where you live. Don’t wait for orders and don’t ask for permission. If you’re in, you’re a leader in this movement, and we’re here to help.
Your COIN Leadership Team is currently working on how we can best implement the new strategies statewide AND help groups implement them locally. Most immediately, we'll be focusing on the following strategies (though these may change as we learn what new depths he Trump Administration will sink to):
Say NO to Project 2025. Even with Democratic senators and reps, our actions can help support them as they fight for us in Congress.
Play HARDBALL locally. We'll need to keep an eye on state and local laws, what our A.G. and our governor are doing, and push our state legislators to pass laws to protect ALL Oregonians and our environment.
Work to PROTECT future elections and start working now for wins in 2026.
Organize to STAND WITH communities under threat: immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, women, people of color, low-income people and activists exercising their right to protest their government's actions.
How to Get Involved
If you want to be a part of Oregon's resistance, here's how you can get involved right away.
If you already have a local group, help them get re-organized and re-energized. Start by reading the new Guide and thinking about how to best apply its suggestions to your local area. If you're not part of a group, start a new one or join an existing group. Contact us at coinleadership@gmail.com if you need some help getting started.

Northwest Abortion Access Fund
We know that reproductive rights will continue to be a target for the Trump Administration and the MAGA members of Congress. COIN is committed to protecting these rights along with many others. If you would like to donate to worthy organizations that help women get access to reproductive health care, check out the Northwest Abortion Access Fund.
COIN Groups Take Action in their Communities
We Care
Thank you health care workers!
Indivisible activists know the work that starts in our homes and communities is just as important as the work that goes on inside the government. Whether we're gathering in homes or by zoom, organizing rallies, sign waving from bridges, phone banking, post carding, meeting with elected leaders, working on legislation, or even running for office, our members put in the time because democracy matters.
"This is about the fight for the soul of our democracy." Elijah Cummings
Kudos to Indivisible North Curry County on the success of their Women's March in January. For a small town, they have an active group and a very visible location for their rallies. Bret Cecil reported that the group marched a mile along Oregon Coast Highway 101 and was met with much support in the form of honks and waves from cars driving by.
