Hi Martha, try: https://www.indivisible.us/

Basically, Indivisible is political action, operating under the notion that
the Government IS us not something done TO us...(lol, kinda the opposite of
"Invisible"). There is probably a group in Alexandria...hope so anyway.

I will contact you separately...

Thanks!
