On President’s Day, leftist activists were out in full force to disrupt Republican congressional staffers’ work.
Democrats descended on Rep. David Schweikert’s office on Monday to protest through the Anthem Indivisible chapter, consisting of the Optimists Resist Indivisibles, LD4 Democrats, and North Scottsdale Democrats.
According to one Fountain Hills Democratic Club member, there were “close to 200 protesters” outside of Schweikert’s office on Monday.

Democrats with the “Northwest Valley Indivisible” also plan on protesting at Rep. Abe Hamadeh’s office on Wednesday.
Indivisible Project, a nonprofit, organized the event in conjunction with others taking place across the nation. The nonprofit launched the coordinated protests on Valentine’s Day to align with the congressional recess, directing activists to hound GOP congressional district offices, host town halls and invite GOP congressmen, hunt down their GOP congressmen in public, and show up at Tesla locations to “expose Musk’s role in the Trump coup.”
Leftist activists and married couple Ezra Levin and Leah Greenburg founded the Indivisible Project in 2016 in response to Donald Trump’s first election as president. The organization’s managing director, Maria “Mari” Urbina, served as the lead for the Battleground Arizona program last year. Urbina was formerly a senior policy advisor to Senator Harry Reid, vice president for Voto Latino, and staff for Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign.
Other Indivisible Project leadership:
- Bill Dempsey: former executive of SEIU, Nathan Cummings Foundation, and UFCW
- Mike Yang: former executive at Pinterest and Google
- Adnan Bokhari: former executive of National Immigration Law Center and Prosperity Now
- Christie George: former executive of New Media Ventures, co-founder of Louder
- Fatima Goss Graves: executive of National Women’s Law Center, co-founder of TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund
- Tony Nam: formerly with Community Change
- Sarah Dohl: former communications director for former Democratic congressman Lloyd Doggett, former chief speechwriter and deputy press secretary for former Senator Maria Cantwell
- Liz Towne: former general counsel for Working America
- Tracye Beaman-King: former executive for Revolution Messaging, former director for NPR
In its last tax return, the Indivisible Project reported over $12.5 million in revenue and $12.7 million in expenditures, with assets totaling over $6.2 million.
The Indivisible Project has a premier collection of leftwing donors. Although the nonprofit’s own tax returns shield the source of its funds, the latest from other organizations’ returns revealed a significant source of their millions.
George Soros’ Open Society Policy Center gave the nonprofit about $5 million between the 2021 to 2023 fiscal years.
Tides Advocacy gave over $2.4 million between the 2018 to 2022 fiscal years.
The Tides Foundation gave around $2 million between the 2018 to 2023 fiscal years.
The Fund For a Better Future gave $3.5 million between the 2020 to 2023 fiscal years.
Future Forward Action gave $500,000 in 2022.
Other leftist entities, many receiving or dealing in dark money funds — Way to Win Action Fund, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Center For Community Change Action, Tides Foundation, Hsaf, End Citizens United Let America Vote Action Fund, Moveon, Neo Philanthropy Action, Civis Foundation, Horizons Foundation, James Irvine Foundation — gave tens to hundreds of thousands over the course of multiple years.
The Indivisible Project has coordinated congressional recess protests since 2017.
The Indivisible Project has over 7,000 chapters nationwide, over 30 of which are listed within Arizona: T-Resisters Indivisible, Anthem Indivisible, Mohave County Indivisible, Camp Verde Indivisible, Desert Democracy, Indivisible Arizona, Indivisible Cottonwood/Cornville/Clarkdale, Indivisible Kingman, Indivisible Northern AZ, Fountain Hills Independent Indivisibles, Arizona Sisters for Harris, Globe-Miami Indivisible, Alliance4Action Immigrant Action Group, White Mountains Indivisible, Blue Copa Indivisible, Indivisible Mesa, Northwest Valley Indivisible, Desert Progressives Indivisible, Indivisible South Mountain, Filkers for Harris, Resistance Network of Arizona, Arizona Virtual Group, Prescott Indivisible, Indivisible Rimrock, Optimists Resist, Stand Indivisible Arizona, After the March Indivisible, Civic Engagement Beyond Voting, Women’s March Sedona, Indivisible Sedona, Indivisible Tohono, Arizona CD 8 Indivisible, True Americans Indivisible of Tempe, Indivisible Tucson Action Alliance, and Voting for our Lives.
The nonprofit lists freshman Rep. Yassamin Ansari as one of its “Courage Caucus” members: those who don’t seek bipartisanship with the GOP-controlled Congress.
Liberalism = Mental Illness defined
This is what happens when Liberalism/Marxist Ideology is taught in schools today.
These Idiots didn’t realize the meaning of Trump Campaign that said/broadcast; “We’re Bringing Common Sense to Government”
These People prove that;
“You can’t cure Stupid!”
I have it on good word that the Koch Bros are involved in this protesting as well.
Morons for Soros Indivisible.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Ideologue sycophants.
Exactly my impression!
This stuff makes my stomach churn. These groups are misguided and ill-informed not to mention their funding comes from a socialist, anti-American George Soros.
George Soros received money from USAID. Unbelievable!
What f****** idiots these people are. Its ok to spend billions we don’t have but when the rubber hits the road they are pissed? I simply don’t believe it. They thank the swamp rats for stealing our money for circumcisions and condoms in Africa? These people are simply paid simps for the left and have no earthly idea of their own and are led by their nose ring by the left and the DNCMSM……..how pathetic.
Most of them are paid to be pissed. They have no dog in the fight in reality but are taking the money Soros is offering. Soros should be declared an Enemy of the State with order to terminate with extreme predjudice in my opinion. I hope he gets an Anti-trust suit against him for his buying up all the radio stations in the country. Same goes for his son as well
What are they protesting? Oh yeah, they’re protesting Trump investigating theft, waste, fraud and abuse of our taxes. Sorry, but these investigations are long overdue – by decades.
Glad to see this being reported. It’s going to have as much impact as a popcorn fart. Congressmen should send a few interns out with cameras and take videos of all the pre-printed signs and asking the protesters who is paying for them? Then post on Twitter. I notice Schweikert’s got nothing like that on his Twitter. Dumbo AZ Rs is why we lose, Soros funds lots of “grass roots” and we’ve got Traitor Mitch.
Useful idiots
