Common Grounds - An Indivisible Group
An Indivisible Group
"Never doubt that a group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world: indeed it's the only thing that ever has"
- Margaret Mead
Who We Are
We are a group of South Dakotans concerned for our state and our nation. We believe firmly in the values of freedom and equality. We are committed to advocating for progressive policies that work for the common good of all. These include issues such as climate change, health care, especially women's health care, transparency in government, equal rights for all, among others
Common Grounds is a chapter of the national Indivisible organization, a grassroots community of thousands across America working to restore and defend our democracy.
We meet at Caille Library in Sioux Falls (49th St across from Sanford Wellness Center) Meetings are at 1:30 every other Friday. Check our facebook page – Common Grounds Indivisible SD - for updated meeting information.
With politics, we serve understanding, a safe place to speak your mind, humor….and coffee.
