Welcome to Indivisible Lincoln Square!
Creating a just society through progressive values and grassroots engagement.
“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.”
Barack Obama
Let’s fill ourselves with hope and get started!
Canvassing
Door to door canvassing is a tried and true way to get people to the polls. Being within driving distance from the battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan makes our efforts especially effective.
Not sure if canvassing is for you?
ILS is hosting an in-person, interactive Canvassing Training Workshop! You’ll get tips and anecdotes from experienced canvassers plus time to practice your newly acquired skills!

Reproductive Rights are on the line
May 2, 2024 06:00 PM in Central Time (US and Canada)
Virtual event Join from anywhere!
Join us for a virtual phonebank on the anniversary of the Supreme Court's leaked opinion overturning Roe and gutting our reproductive freedoms. We'll reach out to voters in key states where abortion access is on the ballot this November. This event is presented by Indivisible Action.
Postcard writing
n a time when most people get their information on their phone or computer, something as low-tech as a handwritten card that arrives in your mailbox can break through the clutter.
Let us know if you're interested in writing postcards to voters in swing states. This is super easy and effective. We'll give you postcards, addresses, and a script to follow. You just put pen to paper (and maybe buy some stamps if possible!).
The Indivisible Lincoln Square team will find a time to meet at a local watering hole to do this together, or you can write messages from the comfort of your own home.
Please fill out this google form to let us know if you're interested.
