Indivisible Little Rock & Central Arkansas (ILRCA) mobilizes voters in favor of social justice and aims to strengthen progressive coalitions in the state. Founded in 2017, the chapter is part of a nationwide grassroots movement formed in response to the 2016 election. It organizes across various social and environmental justice issues, from resisting the spread of data centers to collaborating with other grassroots organizations to defend immigrant rights. Data centers have been proposed on two sites in Pulaski County, says Teri Patrick, a member of the chapter’s leadership team. “One is in Little Rock, and the other is in Wrightsville, a town with a predominately Black population and half a mile from an elementary school – a clear example of social injustice. We are advocating for transparency and a moratorium.” From voter registration drives and Get Out The Vote postcard-writing projects to organizing protests with coalition partners, ILRCA champions democratic and progressive policies.

ILRCA boasts a broad base of some 3,000 members, of which about 150 are actively involved, and is helmed by a leadership team of seven that frequently partners with diverse organizations in the region. ILRCA teamed with the People’s Protest to organize a highly successful No Kings 3 event in March 2026, drawing a crowd of more than 12,000 people. “The event included a community connect fair, where 30 nonprofits tabled. It was a good way for people to learn about progressive resources in our area,” says Patrick. In the coming months, ILRCA will fight for direct democracy processes in the state, including sending out Calls to Action to gather signatures for the Protect Our Rights coalition campaign demanding the codification of the right to petition in Arkansas. Over 100,000 signatures have been gathered for the petition that aims to ensure Arkansas’ state motto, ‘The People Rule’, becomes law. “It appears likely it will be on our ballot in November,” Patrick says, adding that ILRCA will write and mail voter activation postcards to 4,500 people before the 2026 midterms.
