WE’RE CALLING IT “AN ELECTION LIKE NO OTHER”
We are living through one of the most consequential moments in our country’s history. The fate of our democracy is on the line. Time is running out to save it.
Authoritarians and their wealthy enablers are rapidly expanding their ability to crush our democratic institutions. Political opponents are demonized; the Press is attacked as “fake news” or “the enemy”; Law enforcement is politicized; and The executive branch is elevated above all other branches of government, undermining checks and balances and concentrating power in the Presidency
We are in the stage some experts call “Authoritarian Consolidation”; others call it “Competitive Authoritarianism”. They have not yet consolidated their control, but they are trying.
By packing the judiciary, neutering checks and balances, altering electoral districts, requesting voter roles and a host of attempts to block voting, the Republican Party is trying to insulate itself from losing power in the upcoming election.
The time to take back power is now. If we do not take power back from the authoritarians in the 2026 election, the opportunity to meaningfully halt this process becomes exceedingly more difficult.
This midterm election matters more than any other we have faced in our lifetimes, perhaps in our country’s history.
Learn about how Indivisible Twin Cities is working to take back power - our opportunity and our responsibility. progressive policies at the city, state and national level. We encourage civic engagement by organizing informative actions and events to spotlight issues and candidates who support our values of strengthening our democracy and defeating the MAGA authoritarian agenda.
TOGETHER WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
