“…if you act, especially if you act with other people—with other people you admire, who you think are doing good things—you’re gonna feel better…”
Welcome.
Indivisible Next 2sday Arts (Next 2sday) began as the Arts Committee for Indivisible NEO (INEO), and we’re still proud to serve in that role today. As our work grew, we found ourselves partnering with groups across Ohio and beyond, and were encouraged to establish ourselves as our own Indivisible group. Having done that, we’ve become Indivisible Next 2sday Arts: an Indivisible group with a focus on arts activism, operating as a creative resource hub that supports not only INEO, but also other organizations and individuals seeking to use art and creativity in service of democracy.
Based in Northeast Ohio, our focus is on making creative civic action more accessible. We believe creativity is a powerful tool for public engagement, education, and collective action—and that you don’t need to be an artist to participate. Our goal is to help lower barriers by sharing ideas, tools, and resources that make it easier for people to show up creatively in meaningful ways.
That might look like lending materials, offering templates and guides, supporting local rallies, marches, meetings, or helping individuals discover creative actions they can take on their own or with others. We aim to be a practical, welcoming resource for anyone looking to incorporate creativity into efforts that defend democratic values and strengthen community.
This website is a living resource. Like the times we’re in, it will continue to adapt and evolve. Whether you’re deeply involved in organizing or just beginning to explore ways to engage, we hope you’ll find inspiration, tools, and a sense of connection here.
Let’s keep showing up. Let’s keep creating. Let’s keep speaking out.
Want to Get Involved?
No art skills required — just enthusiasm and a desire to do something.
Indivisible Next 2sday Arts is always looking for people who want to help create, build, print, assemble, and show up. Whether you’re drawn to hands-on making, logistics, or just want to be part of a crew doing creative work in service of democracy, there’s a place for you here.

A Statewide Block Party for Democracy
Watch a video of our first Block Party for Democracy in September of 2025.
Building on the network of partner organizations we connected with during the We The People of Ohio tour, Indivisible Next 2sday Arts is organizing our next Block Party for Democracy, and this time, we're taking it statewide. Communities throughout Ohio will host their own local Block Party for Democracy events: free, family-friendly festivals designed to celebrate civic life and imagine the future of our democracy together through art, conversation, music, and play.
We're currently planning this statewide day of festivities for Saturday, September 19th, though we're still gathering feedback from partner organizations, and Saturday, September 26th remains a possible alternative date.
To help make that possible, we've put together a Block Party for Democracy Guidebook: a resource packed with tested activities, planning timelines, and materials for any group ready to host their own event. Expect a festival atmosphere, not a heavy political one: chalk your hopes onto The Democracy I Want Wall, decorate a flag at Flags of Change, earn a trophy at Civic All-Star Trophies, strike a pose at the Hero of Democracy Selfie Booth, or add a page to The People's Assembly, a collective art piece that grows with every stop. Put your civics knowledge to the test, game-show style, plus there are prizes and kids' activities too, and plenty to make and take home. You'll also find resources and people on hand to help answer your questions about elections and voting, register you to vote, or walk you through mail-in ballots.

A Statewide Art & Civic Engagement Initiative
We The People of Ohio
Earlier this year, we completed our statewide art & civic engagement initiative: We The People of Ohio. Indivisible Next 2sday Arts partnered with Seattle’s Backbone Campaign to bring a monumental hand-painted “We The People” Constitution scroll to communities across Ohio in the Spring of 2026. Over several weeks, the scroll traveled to a dozen cities across Ohio before its grand finale at Pride in the CLE.
This living artwork carries the signatures and messages of hundreds of thousands of people from across the country, including Ohioans who added their names as the scroll traveled the state. All pieces from around the nation came together for a culminating display in Washington, D.C. on July 4th.

Next 2sday Whistles & Whistle Packs
Across the country, communities are using whistles as a simple, non-violent way to help neighbors stay aware when immigration enforcement activity may be occurring. With #Next2sdayWhistles, we’re bringing creativity into that effort — from quick, ready-to-share whistle packets to wearable, decorative whistles that look like jewelry.
