ABOUT SMITHA:
Smitha knew from the age of 5 she wished to follow in her father’s footsteps and become a doctor. She attended the University of Missouri combined BA/MD program – otherwise known as Doogie Howser school – from which she graduated as a full-fledged doctor at the age of 23! After completing an internal medicine residency, she worked as an academic hospitalist at Northwestern Hospital with Northwestern Medical School and Denver Health with the University of Colorado. Currently Smitha is an academic hospitalist in Portland Oregon and an Associate Professor with the University of Oregon Health and Sciences Center.
Smitha served her community by working at a safety net hospital and teaching residents and medical students. But shortly after the 2016 election she realized she was not doing enough for her community and her democracy. She cashed in all of her frequent flyer miles to attend the Women’s March in Washington DC. After the march she came home and found the Indivisible Guide and the Indivisible Movement. This led her to Indivisible Oregon where she is an organizer and leads the policy team. While the time since the election has been one of the hardest in her life it has also been one of the most rewarding. She firmly believes that with each conversation, action, post and call we will move forward.
Towards our goals. Towards our future. Which will be better and bright.

ABOUT REBECCA:
Rebecca went heavily into student debt for not one -but two- fine art degrees. Armed with such marketable job skills, she sold out to the man and began working in graphic design, first in her native New York, and then in Portland, Oregon.
In 2008, as the economy careened off a cliff, Rebecca and her husband Marc figured it would be the perfect time to start their own design studio. Luckily, Barack Obama was elected, the country stabilized, and the passage of the ACA enabled Rebecca and Marc to get health insurance for themselves and their kids.
In 2012, the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School motivated Rebecca to turn her occasional activism into something more committed, getting deeply involved with the Gun Violence Prevention movement. Rebecca believes very strongly in fucking the NRA.
After being utterly devastated by the 2016 presidential election, Rebecca helped found Indivisible Oregon, which builds on the Indivisible Guide to oppose the agenda of The Dotard Who Shall Not Be Named. She flew cross-country on a red eye and slept in the basement of the friend of a friend in order to attend the Women’s March in Washington DC.
In addition to paying work, Rebecca is proud to lend her design skills to candidates and organizations that she supports, like Indivisible Oregon, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, Planned Parenthood, and Rise to Run.
When “in garrison” * at her home in Portland, Rebecca flies a RESIST flag from her front porch. She’ll take it down when this administration is taken down.
