Fund Drive for Grace Episcopal Food Pantry
The Trump administration's erratic handling of SNAP has created a crisis, using the basic needs of vulnerable families as a "bargaining chip." Grand Traverse families are in limbo, facing uncertain or delayed benefits.
Traverse Indivisible is responding immediately to fill the gap for the Grace Episcopal Church Food Pantry!
🤝 100% of donations through our ActBlue account from Monday, November 10 to Tuesday, December 16 will be transferred directly to their Food Pantry. ZERO dollars are kept by Ti, ActBlue, or the Indivisible Project.
This is a clear act of community power against political cruelty. Donate now or bring non-perishable food to our November/December meetings!
Traverse Indivisible is a registered 501(c)(4) social welfare organization; contributions are not tax-deductible.

Ti Social Gathering & White Elephant Party
Deck the Halls with Democracy & Deliciousness!
In times like these, we need each other more than ever, and what better way to connect than over pizza and questionable holiday fashion choices? Join Traverse Indivisible for our annual holiday gathering where we'll celebrate the most important thing we have: our incredible community of changemakers.
This isn't your typical holiday party (though the ugly sweaters are absolutely encouraged). We're coming together to share some festive cheer, enjoy holiday fun designed especially for Ti members, and remind ourselves that hope is best served with good company and hot pizza.
Here's the scoop:
When: 5-7pm
Where: Tank Space on 8th Street, Traverse City
What to expect: Great people, better conversations, and an informational table for anyone curious about our work
Bring a friend! Especially if they're interested in learning more about Ti , because democracy is always better with backup.
Optional but fun: Bring a wrapped White Elephant gift if you're feeling generous (no pressure – your presence is the real present). And please, dress in your favorite holiday garb or ugly sweater… we're talking full festive commitment here!
We'll provide the pizza (while supplies last.) You bring the holiday spirit and maybe that friend who's been asking what we're all about.
Please register ahead of time. It helps us order the right amount of pizza, and nobody wants to be the person who shows up to find only sad, empty boxes.
Let's spread some festive cheer and remind ourselves that even in uncertain times, we've got each other. And pizza. Mostly each other, but also pizza.

Keep Dollars Local
We enthusiastically support the National Economic Mass Blackout (Nov. 25–Dec. 2) and offer the Keep Dollars Local campaign as a complementary, community-first solution: a strategic pathway for citizens in smaller towns to participate in economic resistance by directing all spending toward local businesses, thereby protecting their main streets from the negative impacts of a full blackout in an already challenging economy, but still allowing them to participate.
Vigil for Grief and Loss
A diverse coalition of community members are coming together for a “Vigil for Grief and Loss” to gather, honor, name, and tend to the many forms of loss members of Traverse City are living through together.
WHAT: This vigil is coming together from a diverse coalition of community led organizations and concerned citizens. We will hold this vigil to create space for the communities’ grief rooted in both the personal and the collective - losses born from the systems and histories that continue to shape our present. Attendees will hear from people directly experiencing loss such as the loss of life in ICE detention centers, the loss of food security as SNAP benefits are cut, the ongoing loss and theft of Indigenous land and the loss of safety for our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters, to name a few. We will build community through song and collective action.
WHO: Spiritual Activists Leading Together (SALT), NoMi Neighbor Network, MidEast Just Peace, Traverse Indivisible, The Solidarity Organizing InitiativeAnd more!
WHEN: Monday, November 24th, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
WHERE: Medalie Park, 1910 West South Airport Road, Traverse City, MI 49686
WHY: Many in our community are feeling some form of grief right now and we want people to know their grievances are all connected and they are not alone. In recognizing these interconnected griefs, we also root ourselves in solidarity and collective care. We know that tending loss together helps us expand our sense of "us" and create a resilient community. All are welcome.
