Frequently Asked questions?
What is your group’s working philosophy?
Our goal is to fuel a progressive network to resist the Trump agenda while electing Democrats who support our values of transparency, inclusion, tolerance and fairness.
We are inspired by the national Indivisible movement, using The Indivisible Guide as a key resource along with forming alliances with other grassroots organizations. We are a part of the Virginia Grassroots Coalition
We do whatever it takes to get our messages across. We write, phone, and visit our elected officials. We attend town meetings so that we can speak directly with people who represent us. We join in protests and rallies. We work in teams on issue groups and come together in support of those groups when action is called for.
We work to ensure that progressives who support our goals are elected; we work with local Democratic party, statewide campaigns, and other grass root organizations to win elections for strong progressive leaders.
I’m ready to get started. How?

Join an Issue Group. (See next question)
What are the issue groups?
There are currently ten issue groups in HRI. The groups were defined by the concerns of the members when HRI first began. Each individual issue group determines the level and types of activities that they will take.
More information is available here.
I am from Maryland and admire everything your group does. Do you need volunteers to stand at the White House? Is there anything folks in Maryland can do to help your group?
Cheryle: Apologies! I don’t know how this comment ended up here – it certainly got redirected in error. Indeed, the Kremlin Annex protests continue, now regularly on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday evenings. All help is appreciated! You can connect with the sign in at https://herndonrestonindivisible.org/daily-action-3/ where the Kremlin Annex sign up is found under every date. And hopefully you found all this sooner than this.
