Traverse Indivisible is a Michigan focused left-of-center activist organization funded by Swing Left, 1 a Democratic Party-aligned fundraising and voter mobilization political action committee. 2
Background
Traverse Indivisible is a local affiliate of the Indivisible Project (or Indivisible), a left-of-center 501(c)(4) organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Indivisible Project was created in late 2016 as a response to the election of President Donald Trump. The Indivisible Project was established to provide liberals a practical guide for “Resisting the Trump Agenda.” 3
Activities
Traverse Indivisible operates primarily through a Facebook page, where it urges members to support various Democratic Party-aligned policies. These include opposing a Michigan ballot proposal to require identification for in-person voting and educational choice programs and tax credits. 4 The group has also led protests at the office of Rep. Jack Bergman (R-MI). 5
The organization has also supported censorship of Fox News, urging its members to sign a petition asking cable companies to remove the channel from the list of programs included in a standard cable or satellite fee. 6
