Mission: Indivisible is a nonpolitical initiative energizing and informing Americans about the value and potential of government with an accessible and shareable approach.
We hear a lot about Google and their self-driving car… but our gov played a huge role in this too! Check it out:
March 13, 2004,Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) had a big event. See how government helped the creation of the self-driving car.
We love our GPS. We bet you use it a lot for Summer travel! It gets us where we need to go. Do you know gov played a huge part in this technology? http://www.indivisible.us/i-love-my-gps
Ever vote for your candidate and then realize there are more elections on your ballot?! Don't just guess! BallotReady has #ImagineGov’d to prevent this scenario from happening: http://www.indivisible.us/ballotready/
The DMV has a bad rap. But it’s just not true anymore. Here’s how our gov listened, and responded.
Who knew the DMV could be associated with fast lines and efficiency? It's true!
Anne-Marie Slaughter of New America believes gov should focus on services first and policy and law second. #ImagineGov with Anne-Marie: http://www.indivisible.us/anne-marie-slaughter/
Talk about things we take for granted. Sewers are certainly high on that list! But we should appreciate and love them! Here’s why:
If you are in a town or a city in America right now, chances are there are sewer pipes running under your feet. And we would really miss them if they were gone.
Julie Nelson is proud of the aspirational values that are commonly held in America, like equality and justice. And she #ImagineGov’s more inclusion in our gov: http://www.indivisible.us/julie-nelson/
Help us to be smart about government. www.Indivisible.com
Love Hawaii? Thanks to the National Park Service, you can experience a real Hawaiian volcano on the live webcam.
The National Parks in Hawaii are part of our national budget, part of our heritage and our future, and it's our privilege to see them.
I spy government making our trips to the grocery store better! See all the little ways.
It's amazing how much government is doing behind the scenes to make our lives better every day, even at grocery stores.
Thanks The Story of Stuff Project for posting and Eric Liu for affirming--this is an important part of the Indivisible point of view!
Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?

We each play a vital role in our government. And realizing this is exactly what Thomas Jefferson knew we needed. www.Indivisible.com
Sookyung Oh, Public Policy Analyst at AFSCME #ImagineGov’s a more compassionate government. Read more of Sookyung’s interview: http://www.indivisible.us/sookyung-oh/
It takes action to change our government. Here are 3 ways you can get involved:
• Attend a city or county council meeting
• Talk to your neighbors about public services in your community they’d like to see improved
• Stay informed and add your opinion on initiatives your city is planning
Have you done any of these things before? Tell us about it!
Not sure how to change the conversation about government? Start by reading our How To Talk guides!

Put your #climatechange knowledge to the test with the Climate Challenge game! You’ll also help gov scientists gauge public perceptions of climate change. So they can better help our environment. How cool is that? http://www.indivisible.us/climate-change-the-game/
The weather apps on your phone might not thank government as much as we do, but their data is absolutely powered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration!
The American people pay for our weather reports through our government – and then companies repackage them and give them to us, on the radio, in television reports, and in the weather apps in our cell phone.
So many take our right to vote for granted. But not those who have put in years of work to become U.S. citizens.
The day someone becomes a U.S. citizen should be beautiful.
We’re better together. www.Indivisible.us
Butterfly ballots… voting errors... Ugh, this isn’t what we want our democracy to look like! Luckily, the Center for Civic Design is #ImagineGov’ing a better voting system.
It turns out that design matters. Some of us may remember the election of 2000 with the infamous butterfly ballot.
Hailing from Montana, Rebecca Burgess of AEI Program on American Citizenship saw the life-saving capabilities of gov’s Search and Rescue missions, and she #ImagineGov’s so much more: http://www.indivisible.us/rebecca-burgess/
Can you imagine how scary flying would be without the TSA? They ensure our flights are safe and even go the extra mile to help kids feel better about flying.
"TSA came to my rescue." This two-year old and her family, saw just how great TSA can be and so will you.
Gov should play a major role in making our economy work better, #ImagineGov’s Felicia Wong, CEO of Roosevelt Institute: http://www.indivisible.us/felicia-wong/
Rosa Parks can certainly speak to being fearless. She stood up (sat down) for what she believed in. You can too by joining us in creating the communities we want: www.Indivisible.us
When Uber can find someone faster than 911 call centers (thanks for pointing it out, John Oliver), we know we need to #ImagineGov for a better system. The military has excellent GPS positioning abilities… Could 911 services tap into that?
John Oliver inspired me to ImagineGov equipping our 911 emergency response with next generation GPS. Let's make it so.
If you’ve seen a citizenship ceremony, you know how magical it is. It’s the culmination of years of work -- and dreaming. Go to one if you can. http://www.indivisible.us/citizenship-101-part-6-the-day/
Colin Parent, Policy Council at Circulate San Diego, certainly sees firsthand how gov is needed to build and operate public transit systems. #ImagineGov with Colin:

Knowing the weather in advance not only prevents us from getting drenched in a storm. It also gives us time to prepare for natural disasters: http://www.indivisible.us/i-love-my-weather-app/
Mattresses were once really unsafe. Like *really* unsafe and gross. Our gov stepped in -- not once, but twice -- to help us.
Before those "do not remove" labels, our mattresses were filled with corn husks and asbestos. Until our government stepped in to help us. Twice.
Rescuing stranded boaters? All in a day’s work for the coast guard. We are so appreciative today on National Armed Forces Day--and every day--of all our gov heroes in the military.
Even in a short nine months and with a small, but mighty staff, we’ve accomplished so much:
So what has Indivisible been up to since our launch? You may be surprised. And you may want to get involved.
Want to create exciting new things for your city? Next City has ideas for you to help you #ImagineGov with leaders from around the world: http://www.indivisible.us/next-city/
President Roosevelt knew we needed to believe in government before we could change it. Start today -- #ImagineGov with us: www.Indivisible.us
Right now, 20% of the fuel consumed in transportation in the U.S. is from tractor-trailers. The Dept. of Energy’s more efficient Supertrucks can have a huge impact: http://www.indivisible.us/supertruck-yes-supertruck/
We know what you’re thinking: “Why am I just finding this out now??” Thanks, Micah! #ImagineGov with him: http://www.indivisible.us/micah-sifry/
