We have a responsibility to let our elected officials know how we feel about important issues that impact our lives, and what we want them to advocate for. We can all take action to protect our rights, whether we choose to do that with others or on our own. Here are some of the ways Indivisible Farmington Valley participants are taking action.
Postcard campaigns are one easy way to let your legislators and other elected officials know how you feel about an important issue. A simple, clear, hand-written message is all it takes. IFV members have been involved in different postcard campaigns, including…
Red Messages – writing cards to legislators in red states, and sending them to an Indivisible chapter in a red state, where they will then be mailed to legislator.
Virginia Votes – Done in partnership with the Progressive Turnout Project, this campaign involved sending postcards directly to voters in Virginia, urging them to vote on election day.
News Boosts – Also done in partnership with the Progressive Turnout Project, this campaign aims to combat disinformation from the Trump administration, so people can make more informed decisions before voting.
Protecting Election Integrity – Launched by IFV, a campaign that includes sending postcards to CT elected officials urging them to protect our votes, polling places, and elected officials.
Children’s Postcards – Launched by an IFV member, a campaign for which children drew pictures on postcards, which were connected to important topics, and then used by IFV members to send messages to elected officials.
The Majority Project – Launched by a family-owned business in Oregon (Signs of Justice), The Majority Project aims to send 12 million postcards to Congress members. People can order pre-printed postcards or print their own on card stock (they provide a digital PDF download). There are different postcard messages; the company also has lawn signs, banners, etc.

There are many ways to make your voice heard, and contacting your state and federal legislators assures that your opinion, questions, and concerns become part of their records.

State Senators and Representatives for IFV members
Who your state representative and state senator are depends on what town you live in, and for larger towns, what section of the town you live in. Below are the names of the CT legislators, and their contact information, for most towns of the participants of Indivisible Farmington Valley. If you are unsure of which representative is yours, find that through the CT General Assembly search option.
5 Calls is a nonprofit organization that researches issues and writes scripts that anyone can use when calling an elected official about those issues. When you set your zip code with 5 Calls and click on an issue listed, you’re automatically provided talking points about the issue, your federal legislators, their phone numbers, and a script you can use when you call them. Whether accessed from a computer, tablet, or phone app, 5 Calls makes it easy to make the calls.
Peaceful protest has been one powerful – and very visible – way to voice an opinion. Since the first No Kings Day protests in 2025, weekly protests around the country have grown in number. In the Farmington Valley, you can join other Indivisible participants each Saturday to speak up and let your voice be heard.
Canton Green – 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM (Canton Green Road)
West Hartford – 10 AM (corner Farmington Ave. & Main St.)
Granby Green – 2 PM (68-98 Park Pl)
In addition, Indivisible Farmington Valley participants join in on No Kings Day protests at the CT State Capitol in Hartford and in a variety of surrounding towns. Prior to No Kings Day protests, IFV holds poster-making gatherings to help those who are new to joining a protest design a poster that best represents their opinion.
