Olympia Indivisible 2.0 Handbook
Background to Get Here:
We grabbed 'em by the Mid-Terms!! The Blue Wave changed a lot. Because we won the U.S. House, Indivisible can add a whole new component to its scope of resistance and campaigning: going on offense. That means we can advocate for 1) Messaging bills like HR-1, 2) Investigations, 3) Accountability of our MoCs,
The Steering Committee realized the election results significantly changed OI's charter and the way we would need to move forward. It meant rethinking our goals, our operating structure, our existing teams, our communication methods and much more. We had a lot to think about. We started with:
Our Mission and Goals
Let’s start with changes to Olympia Indivisible's foundational statement of mission, goals, and principles, which we tweaked in 2018 and tweaked again early this year. The revisions this time around reflect the gains made in the midterms, priority issues identified by our membership last November, and alignment with Indivisible National Team’s 2.0 guide for 2019-2020. So in 2019, we will increase our emphasis on advocacy.
Goals/Priorities for 2019
The first three reflect Indivisible National guide’s call for leveraging the gains we made in the midterms, particularly in the House of Representatives and here in Washington. The last 3 were identified by OI membership.
At Olympia Indivisible, we believe in getting things done. The steering committee has laid the groundwork by integrating these six priorities into the revisions and additions we have made to Olympia Indivisible’s teams and mandates. Teamwork is the primary way OI gets Stuff Done. Now it’s up to all of us to help that happen by joining a team as an active member.

- Getting your input on priorities for our future through an All Member meeting in November and a member survey.
- Studying Indivisible Guide 2.0
- That lead us to: Reassessing our existing mission, goals, principles, teams, our SC charter and our energy levels, our technology needs, and our finances.
