No Concentration Camps in Colorado Protest

Indivisible started as the Indivisible Guide, a Google Doc guide to organizing locally to pressure your elected officials to resist Trump’s agenda. It caught fire as millions of people picked up the guide and its name – Indivisible – and organized their own local Indivisible groups to put the guide into action. These new Indivisible activists formed a nationwide movement of people taking matters into their own hands to build their own power through collective action. Indivisible national is a social movement organization that grew as the Indivisible movement grew, building out a professional team of organizers, wonks, campaigners, digital and data specialists, and other experts to support the movement and fight for progressive values. Like other social movement organizations, Indivisible’s staff both supports and works independently of the movement itself – just as local Indivisible groups both take autonomous action and also coordinate with each other and with our national team. Today, the Indivisible movement is a progressive grassroots movement of millions of activists across every state, fueled by a partnership between thousands of autonomous local Indivisible groups and a national staff. Indivisible’s national team offers strategic leadership, movement coordination, and support to Indivisible activists, and also directly lobbies congress, builds partnerships, runs media campaigns, and develops advocacy strategies. Together we fight to defeat the rightwing takeover of American government and build an inclusive democracy. Our Mission Action by action, day by day, group by group, Indivisibles are remaking our democracy. Brought together by a practical guide to resist the Trump agenda, Indivisible is a movement of thousands of group leaders and more than a million members taking regular, iterative, and increasingly complex actions to resist the GOPs agenda, elect local champions, and fight for progressive policies. They make calls. They show up. They speak with their neighbors. They organize. And through that work, they’ve built hundreds of mini-movements in support of their local values. And now, after practice, training, and repetition, they’ve built lasting power on their home turf and a massive, collective political muscle ready to be exercised each and every day in every corner of the country. Our Vision A real democracy -- of, by, and for the people.

No Concentration Camps in Colorado is a coalition of activists, community leaders, and organizations focused on 5 demands from the state:

1. No Further ICE Expansion in Colorado
2. Closure of the Existing ICE Detention Facility in Aurora, CO
3. Divestment From Private Prison Contracts
4. Reinvestment in Housing, Education, Healthcare, and other social needs
5. Immediate response from all Colorado Elected Officials

The purpose of the Immigrant Protection Teams (IPTs) is to: 1) provide a clear message to the immigrant community that we are standing with you, you are not alone; 2) provide factual information about immigrants to counteract the many myths in the media; and 3) put pressure on elected officials to develop more humane approaches to immigration policy. After the November 2024 election, allies in Colorado, concerned about the likely targeting of the immigrant community, decided to organize to show up for our immigrant neighbors. The first teams formed immediately in Aurora, Arvada and Boulder. We now have 24 teams across the state from Fort Collins to Walsenburg to Grand Junction to the San Luis Valley, including in Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Douglas and Jefferson Counties (we also have teams in Aurora and Boulder County, but they may be applying for their own SN grant at some point, and Denver IPT has already submitted a SN application).
