The American Veterinary Medical Association was founded in 1898, with roots of the organization dating back to 1863. The Associates states its mission, "to lead the profession by advocating for our members, and advancing the science and practice of veterinary medicine to improve animal and human health". The 1987 conference for the Association was held in Chicago, with celebrity dog Benji in attendance (who was issued the first dog and cat insurance policy from the Animal Health Insurance Agency at the conference), and included displays such as pet burial kits.

Indivisible began in response to the election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States in 2016. Self-described as a "progressive grassroots movement," they seek to "build a democracy that reflects a broad, multiracial 'we the people,' one that works for all of us and is sustained by all of us." Today, they continue to support progressive causes, encourage active participation in local and national politics, and seek to create change through "collective constituent power that comes with working together."

Additional Information

Former Vice President Joe Biden and his running mate California Senator Kamala Harris ran during the 2020 election against incumbent candidates President Donald J.Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence. The election itself was historic as it took place during the worldwide pandemic, COVID-19, and national, racial unrest. As a result, voter turnout, through early voting, in-person voting, and mail-in voting, was at a record high. Due to the increased voter turnout, many states' projections were still undetermined by the media for over a week after the election. 

On November 7, 2020, news networks called the election in favor of Biden. In the end, both candidates received the most votes of any two presidential candidates in US history. 

Biden’s running mate also made history as becoming the first woman elected to the office of Vice-President, the first woman of color, and the first Asian-American woman to hold the office.

Indivisible is a nationwide grassroots movement consisting of local groups actively advocating for progressive initiatives and democratic engagement. In 2020, Indivisible Guide's action twenty in "50 Actions in 50 Days" encouraged Americans to download the "VoteJoe" app to help ensure friends and family voted in the presidential election, hoping to steer voters to Democratic candidate Joe Biden. The 2020 election was significant due to the voter responses in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which included a large number of early voters and vote by mail applications among traditional voters, and later, the inauguration of Kamala Harris, the first woman seated as Vice President.

Indivisible is a nationwide grassroots movement consisting of local groups actively advocating for progressive initiatives and democratic engagement. Indivisible acted as a partner of the 2020 letter-writing campaign, "The Big Send", run by Vote Forward.  Citizens mailed over 17 million letters to increase voter turnout. Oregon District 2 Indivisible wrote over 16,000 letters in Medford, encouraging people to vote in swing state. Although voting in a presidential election in the United States is done through the electoral college process, each state's individual electoral votes are decided on the number of ballots received, stressing the importance of every vote being counted. Voters can see the largest impact of their votes in local elections for their community's leaders and their representatives in the state.

Additional Information

Tunic is a video game that follows a sword-wielding fox through a pretechnological time. Players explore wild landscapes, discover ruins, and fight creatures. It is developed by Canadian indie creator Andrew Shouldice and published by Finji. Tunic has been widely compared to The Legend of Zelda, from which it draws both aesthetic and premise-based inspiration. As of November 2020, Tunic has not yet been released for gameplay. The key art often used to promote tunic (and seen on this button) is hand-painted by Erica June.
