These groups aim to elect progressive leaders, rebuild democracy, and counteract the policies of former President Trump. Indivisible empowers individuals and communities passionate about political activism by providing tools and training for grassroots organizing. Their approach relies on community engagement and volunteer efforts to drive initiatives, including making calls, organizing events, and advocating for policy changes.

The organization primarily funds its activities through donations and fundraising efforts, appealing to supporters of their mission.
