A2 Activists GoBlue
A2 Activists GoBlue is an Ann Arbor group dedicated to helping each other find meaningful, impactful ways to combat extremism, amid the demands of daily life. Tired of wringing our hands over the onslaught of scary news, from abortion and book bans to school shootings, hate crimes, voting restrictions, and irresponsible climate legislation, we came together in 2021 and decided to stop simply worrying and take action. We aim to foster a safe environment for ourselves and our communities, autonomy over our bodies, and inclusivity. Together, we found achievable steps we could take while juggling careers and families, and now, we hope to share opportunities to get involved with more local progressives. The members of A2 Activists GoBlue are tired, we’re fed up—but we’re not giving up.

Oregon Women Kickin A$$ and Takin' Names
We bring together women in our community who feel strongly about uniting around liberty and justice FOR ALL. This group has three primary goals: 1. Save democracy by causing good (nonviolent) trouble. We are terrified of a country that so easily believes the lies of an authoritarian sociopath, state media that pushes extreme right-wing propaganda, and a government that denies its citizens a living wage, affordable healthcare, education, and strips away our rights for the benefit of billionaires and corporations. We are the legs this country stands on, and it's about time we remind them. We are brave enough to recognize our fear and courageous enough to do something about it. 2. Consistently and persistently take action. We stand behind the minority members of our society: women, veterans, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ+. We defend the right and freedom to exist as you are, love who you want, and to do so without discrimination, but with encouragement. We fight hate with love because it is infinitely stronger. No one is above the law, and everyone is entitled to due process. 3. Build community. Our different skills, knowledge, experience, and solutions make us stronger, smarter, and more capable. We support each other and are building connections. From martial law (and other worst-case scenarios) to walking dogs to help a friend who twisted their ankle, we're here for each other. Education and awareness are the name of the game, and girl, do we love to play. Empathy and respect are the rules, and with that said, do not go gently into that dark night….

SPURRColorado
Who we are: SPURR (Social and Political Understanding of Reproductive Rights) was formed by three passionate women - a therapist, a documentary filmmaker and an architect who all benefited from safe abortions. The three were outraged by the Dobbs decision in 2022 which stripped the right to legal abortions, the first constitutional right ever to be rescinded. Our response? SPURR, an information platform that educates, organizes and "spurs" people into action. While we, along with many of our friends, feel fortunate to live in Colorado with its protections for reproductive rights, we understand the need to protect what we have and care for those in neighboring states who will be facing a healthcare crisis. We formed SPURR to curate and provide information, education, resources and opportunities for engagement for those who were equally concerned about the loss of this fundamental right. In doing so, we have discovered that we are part of an evolving nationwide, even global, effort of women helping women. Who We Are NOT: We are not a fundraising organization. We are not only women - we welcome men and people of all persuasions. We are not partisan, but we support candidates and organizations that protect and encourage a woman’s right to determine her own health care decisions. We are not experts - we are constantly learning and connecting with people who are experts to share this information with our community. We are friendly people. Please join us.
