Resources and Recommendations

During this critical election year, we’re sharing some of the resources we use to stay informed, support candidates, and make sure our donations are used most effectively. We will update this list as more resources become available and welcome you to contact us to offer recommendations.

2024 Election Information for Clark County, WA.

This page provides links to voter guides for Legislative Districts 17, 18 and 49 and offers a tool to help you find your district. We also posted a video prepared by the Clark County auditor and his staff to let you know in detail how elections are administered to ensure a fair election. Voters need to feel safe when casting their ballots. We include recommendations about what to safely do if you believe you see voter or election worker intimidation.

Indivisible

Indivisible is a grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump and MAGA agenda.

In January 2017, as we were still absorbing the shock of Trump’s election, one of our current leaders saw an article in The New York Times about an organization started by two former congressional staffers. They had just published The Indivisible Guide, a playbook for resisting the Trump agenda. We learned through the grapevine that other like-minded local citizens had arranged to meeting at a local pub to form a local chapter. So many people showed up that we had to improvise and move our meeting to a much larger meeting space at a local church. And so we began.

Today, we work together with other local progressive groups and with Indivisible chapters across the state and in nearby Portland to defend our democracy.
