Indivisible is thrilled to have Marie Newman and Ammar Campa-Najjar as our first two endorsed candidates of the 2020 cycle. These two exciting congressional candidates show how progressive grassroots power is remaking the Democratic Party and shaking up primaries across the country.
Marie is taking on the Democratic establishment and a conservative incumbent with an unapologetically progressive message focused on expanding health care, standing with immigrants, and protecting working families. Her campaign is a beacon of political courage and Indivisible is eager to stand with the people of Illinois’ third district to fight for better representation.
The challenge to this program comes as no surprise from an administration that has made cruelty the crux of its immigration agenda. Make no mistake--the efforts to eliminate DACA and similar programs are a part of the same unjust immigration policy that separated countless families at the border, threw kids into cages, shocked communities with workplace raids and shut down the government in an attempt to secure funding for a racist border wall.

Trump is a crook who will stop at nothing to enrich himself from the Oval Office, even if it means destroying a democracy in the process.
With one week remaining of congressional recess, a coalition of some of the country’s largest grassroots organizations is continuing to drive constituent pressure on impeachment over the coming October recess.
