Events
Troy Indivisible plans and participates in events that celebrate, educate, and affect positive change in our community and country. We encourage involvement in local and state governance and promote voter participation, not just on election day but every day.
The focus of events can range from protesting actions that target marginalized groups to educating residents on pending legislation that can improve the daily lives of everyone. And sometimes, we just get together to enjoy each other’s company.
