Electeds still care most about people in their districts, organized groups of people have more power than individuals and constituent advocacy can— in many cases — still shift how your elected officials behave.

To win reelection, an elected official must prove to their constituents that they’re one of the good ones, despite how much everyone hates Congress, the state government, or city hall. That means a successful elected spends an inordinate amount of time and effort trying to generate this outcome on their home turf:

“My elected cares about me, shares my values, and is working hard for me.”

— What every elected wants their constituents to think.

It’s that basic insight that gives an organized group of constituents -- like your local Indivisible groups -- power. If you organize locally, focus on your own electeds, and make enough of a public ruckus that endangers their local reputation as an upstanding elected, you can shift their behavior and/or soften them up for reelection. You just need to know what they care about to influence their behavior.
