About us
Who we are.
Indivisible Binghamton is a group of people in the Greater Binghamton area, dedicated to peacefully ensuring that the values and rights enshrined in our nation's Constitution are respected and upheld by our elected officials.
Where we stand
Indivisible Binghamton is a chapter of the national Indivisible movement. We support progressive candidates and the elected officials who fight for progressive policies — and we hold every official accountable to their constituents and the Constitution.
Our mission
Members generally agree with the progressive agenda — especially with regard to racial, ethnic, and religious diversity, women's rights, LGBTQ rights, environmentalism, and non-violent resistance. We support our national, state, and local representatives when they stand with us in fighting for progressive policies and actions, and we hold them accountable when they don't.
How we work
We influence our Members of Congress in four main ways:
- Meeting with our MoCs and their staffs.
- Attending MoC-sponsored events, especially town halls.
- Weekly mass calling — regular calls to our MoCs and local officials.
- Postcard writing, letter writing, and rallies to engage the public.
Our actions are informed by Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Fixing our Democracy , the national movement's playbook for effective civic pressure.

About this site
Built by a neighbor.
indivisiblebinghamton.com was designed and built by Kyle Quilty, a member of our Greater Binghamton community, on his own time — because he believes in the cause and wanted to give us better tools to show up and stay connected. Keeping it running and adding new features is an ongoing volunteer effort.
