SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Indivisible 605 was created in 2017, but Cyndi Olson took over the organization just last month. Now, she’s organizing her first protest.

“For most of us involved in this, we do not have a background or history in activism or protesting. So, this is new. We are learning as we’re going. We’re trying to do our best. We really want to be perfectly clear. We don’t want to give out bad messages. We want people to see this as a trusted source,” said Cyndi Olson of Indivisible 605.

The event will take place on Saturday, March 8th, which is International Women’s Day. But the current political climate is also a key focus, notably a bill that could impact some people’s ability to vote.

“There’s a bill that says you can’t vote if your name is different than what your birth certificate is, that’s threatening our ability to vote. So, we need to be loud. We need to make sure they know that we’re not going back,” said Roni Wegner of Indivisible 605.

Because Olson and Wegner were uncertain where to start, they called in someone more experienced in planning protests.

“So I was reached out to by Indivisible 605, and they asked me to help them plan a bigger protest. And we came together, had a couple of meetings and we talked about what that could look like. I looked at a calendar and found out that the International Women’s Day was this Saturday, so, it’s coming together really fast but fortunately, there’s a few of us who are really well-versed in protesting, especially here in Sioux Falls,” said Allison Renville, the executive director of TiWakan, a nonprofit organization.

Though it’s the first time for some organizers, they know it won’t be the last- they plan to continue their movement.

“It’s not necessarily going to be completely happy, but we are going to be peaceful. We may be a little louder than we were last time. We don’t want to disturb people, but we want to be heard,” said Olson.
