LOWER CAPE INDIVISIBLE

WHO WE ARE

Lower Cape Indivisible (LCI) is an organization whose members have elected to participate based on the organization's mission: to mobilize for social, economic and environmental justice; promote universal participation in the democratic process; resist agendas that subvert American democratic values. We are one of more than 6000 Indivisible groups in the U.S. committed to resisting the Republican agenda, as well as holding our state and local leaders accountable for fair and ethical action. Our work is based on the Indivisible Guide, created by former congressional staffers who wanted to demystify political activism, and share what tactics were most effective.

ELECTIONS

In the years since its founding, LCI has come to focus a good part of its energy on electoral politics - elections. Lower Cape Indivisible was founded in response to an election - the 2016 election of Donald Trump - so the electoral focus feels natural. It's also the case that the Cape hosts a number of organizations that are effective promoters of LCI's values - Cape Cod Climate Change, Cape Downwinders, Grandmothers Against Gun Violence, and so on - that concentrate on various strategies and particular goals. LCI's strategies to promote its vision and values in the political arena have grown to include the following:

Barring some unforeseen, dramatic development, it's likely that the political scene in general and LCI's efforts in particular will be fairly low-key during this coming summer of 2023. However, we anticipate that energy and activity will ramp up quickly in the Fall as candidates and issues campaigns prepare for the critical 2024 presidential election. Please check our newsletter for an overview of what is happening and consult the relevant section(s) of the website for current activities.

Governor Healey Signs Gun Safety Legislation

An Act Modernizing Firearms Laws (H.4885)
This is the state’s most significant gun safety legislation in a decade. The bill was passed by the Legislature as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which sought to weaken states’ ability to protect their residents through gun safety laws.

An Evening With Congressman Jamie Raskin
Congressman Jamie Raskin (Maryland's 8th Congressional District) is the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. He was the lead House impeachment manager in the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump, which ended in a 57-43 Senate vote on the charge of incitement of insurrection. Jamie also served as a Member of the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.
Jamie is expanding his acclaimed Democracy Summer project- which is galvanizing 1,000 high school and college students across the country to win the 2024 election and become a new generation of Democratic organizers. The project is in more than 40 states. Jamie has already put more than $1 million into key Democratic House and Senate campaigns and will continue to contribute to Democratic candidates throughout the cycle.

SUPPORT GRASS ROOTS ORGANIZING TO SAVE THE SENATE
Senate Circle is co-sponsoring a fundraiser in support of a massive canvassing effort in the o-so-close-to-flipping state of North Carolina, whose 16 Electoral College votes can help us win the Presidency in November and lay the groundwork for Senate victories in 2026 and 2028.
It will support four grassroots organizations who want to send out canvassers to knock on four million doors:
Carolina Federation builds local governing power across race and class through its member-driven model.
Down Home NC is one of the premier rural organizing groups in the country, active in 18 of North Carolina’s 100 counties.
NC Asian Americans Together in Action (NCAAT) reaches the fastest-growing constituency in NC, developing trusting relationships with more than 20 different Asian communities.
Siembra organizes in nine NC counties and plans to recruit more Latinos to vote in the November election than in past elections; they have a successful workers’ rights program,
