Who we are

We The People: Cloquet Area Indivisible is a grassroots, volunteer-led group working to protect democracy, support our communities, and build a more just and inclusive future in northern Minnesota.We began as a small network of people looking for connection and support in the wake of the election.

We educate, organize, and take action together. We show up for our neighbors. And we are building something that lasts.
