Our Mission and Goals
Indivisible Baton Rouge (IBR) is a grassroots community group founded in 2024 in conjunction with Indivisible National. We are working to expand and protect our democracy and enact a progressive legislative agenda. We do this by influencing our representatives in government, advocating for policies that advance economic, racial, gender, and environmental justice, participating in electoral work, and allying with groups across the country to protect our rights and build a vibrant, participatory democracy and a better future for all.
Indivisible Baton Rouge was initially inspired by the original 2016 Indivisible Guide — later by the updated 2020 Indivisible Guide and, most recently, by the 2024 Indivisible: A Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink. Written by Indivisible’s Founders and Co-Executive Directors, Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, who were previously Congressional staffers, Indivisible’s Guides offer a practical approach for fighting against Trumpism and fixing our democracy.
Geography
We cover the Baton Rouge Area that spans Louisiana’s 2nd, 5th and 6th, U.S. Congressional districts. The majority of our several thousand members come from Baton Rouge, Prairieville, Zachary, Denham Springs, Port Allen and adjacent communities.
