- Education opportunity, access, and quality
- Gun violence
- Healthcare for all
- Housing equity

- Immigration justice
- Judicial system that works for all
- Reproductive rights
- Sustainable environment
- Voter engagement and election integrity
Concord Indivisible’s Role:
Concord Indivisible joins with allied groups to urge our elected representatives to support legislation that reflects our values. We also seek to educate our members on key progressive issues and encourage them to press for action by:
- Donating to local, state, and national organizations that address these issues
- Contacting voters through postcard projects, phone banks, and text banks
- Sending letters to the editor

Protect Medication Abortions
Donate to Groups on the Legal Front Lines
Now that anti-abortion groups have won their federal suit to remove FDA approval of mifepristone for medication abortions, this very safe, low-cost option may no longer be available to pregnant persons in blue states as well as red. While a second court has issued a stay for any action by the FDA, the issue is almost certain to end up before the Supreme Court.
The legal battle to protect mifepristone — currently used in more than half of all U.S. abortions — will likely be lengthy and costly. Several groups leading the fight need our donations immediately to continue their work. Please consider a gift to one or more of the groups below — as well as to other groups on this page that are working hard to keep abortion accessible.
