About Us

Indivisible Cherokee United was founded to meet a growing need for organized principled action in Cherokee County. Our community faces urgent challenges—from threats to democratic institutions and marginalized voices, to gaps in civic engagement and direct services. We believe that lasting change comes from informed citizens working together in solidarity, grounded in values of justice, equity, and accountability. By connecting neighbors, mobilizing resources, and fostering partnerships across diverse communities, we aim to create a stronger, more resilient Cherokee County where everyone’s voice matters.

Our Mission

Our work is rooted in five guiding pillars:

  1. Fighting Authoritarianism in All Forms – Remaining vigilant against threats to
    democratic governance, transparency, and accountability.
  2. Serving Our Community Through Tangible Action – Prioritizing direct service projects that meet local needs and strengthen community bonds.
  3. Helping Agreed-Upon Candidates Who Support Our Values Win Races – Actively
    supporting candidates who champion our principles and advance the public good.
  4. Giving a Voice to and Defending the Rights of Marginalized Communities – Standing with those whose voices are often silenced, advocating for equity and justice.
  5. Change Brought Through Non-Violent Actions – Believing in principled, peaceful means of creating lasting social and political change.

We make calls, we show up, we speak with our neighbors, and we organize. Together we fight to build an inclusive democracy.

Our Connection with Indivisible National

As a chapter of the national Indivisible movement, Indivisible Cherokee United is part of something much bigger. Indivisible began as a simple guide for grassroots organizing and has since grown into thousands of local groups across every state working together to protect democratic values, build power in communities, and push for progressive policy change.

What this means for ICU is:

Why Cherokee County

Cherokee County, Georgia, is one of the state’s fastest-growing counties — and it’s growing with purpose. Home to vibrant communities like Woodstock, Canton, Holly Springs, and Ball Ground, Cherokee offers strong schools, thriving businesses, and neighborhoods where families feel connected and supported.

But life in Cherokee County means more than just beautiful scenery and strong schools. Our cities and neighborhoods are tied together by people who show up, speak up, and stand up for one another. Here, civic engagement is part of the lifestyle. Cherokee is politically diverse, with strong conservative roots and a growing progressive base.

As Cherokee grows, so does our opportunity to shape it into a county that’s safe, welcoming, and fair for everyone. Together, we can ensure the best of Cherokee is shared by all who call it home.
