The Northwest Resistance, Litchfield County, Connecticut
We are in Northwest Connecticut looking for like-minded people who want to band together to stand up against authoritarianism and extremism on all levels of government and protect democracy.; who want to protect our National Parks and Forests from the corporations and millionaires who wish to strip them of their natural resources and beauty; and individuals who want to help combat climate change. We want to help keep this nation free, protect women's rights and bodies; protect the LGBTQ+ community and all hard-working immigrants who help feed us. This country was not built on hate and fear: fear keeps us focused on the past and worried about the future. America was built on courage, hard work, standing up for what's right and an unwavering determination to create change for the greater good of all. I know it seems daunting; that's why we need you. Join the Northwest Resistance! NEW HERE? Please take our survey to help us better organize. https://forms.gle/n8m6BNJmziv43vCX9 FIND US ON BLUESKY: @nwresistance FIND US ON FB: The Northwest Resistance

Good Trouble Mendocino County
Welcome To All of You The great news is that just a few weeks ago, when I attended my first Zoom Meeting with Red Wine & Blue to listen to Heather Cox Richardson detail what Project 2025 is, and why we should be concerned, there were only a small number of TroubleNation Groups, mostly in the midwest in about 5 states. That presentation was so well attended and responded to, that in the past two weeks, they have had requests for more than 350 new TroubleNation groups starting up, just like us. California had no groups and now they have many starting up. So we are part of a very exciting grassroots movement that is gaining momentum. The goal of the Zoom Meeting on July 15th was to make sure voters are aware of Project 2025. At the time, only 30% of Americans had heard anything about it. That is already turning around. In the past two weeks, more than 50% of voters have heard mention of it, and our goal is to make sure 70% or more know the dangers it poses, before the Democratic Convention takes place. I look forward to working with you. Let's make it spread! THREE GOALS- 1. Educate yourself about Project 2025 and spread the word to as many people as possible. 2. Do all we can to support the candidates that believe in DIVERSITY INCLUSION and SUPPORT A GENUINE DEMOCRACY. 3. Do all we can to ensure that we keep the Senate and flip the House so that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz can make the kind of real progress they envision. There are 22 Congressional races that are virtual TOSS-UPS- could go either way with a push, that we can influence. There are 7 Senate seats that are TOSS UPS. And there are a number of critical races in Swing States where the GOP is putting lots of MAGA money into unseating Democrats in the Senate. We will be talking about those to keep people tuned in and need to about how support the Democrats however we can. Feel free to look around the TroubleNation site. It is is LOADED with information and resources on every topic imaginable. I am sure you will find lots of valuable information. So far, it appears that Tuesdays are the best evening for meetings I am hoping to keep any future meetings to once a month or less- only when critically necessary. Otherwise, I think we can communicate effectively via this web page, don't you? We will use it to work out concerns, answer questions and post events and upcoming podcasts that will keep us updated on the latest information. So glad you're all here- Melissa Phillips

Southeast Ohio Unity Project (SOUP)
We are a group of concerned, motivated citizens in the southeastern region of Ohio, near the borders of Kentucky and West Virginia. We care greatly about the community where we live, work and play. We are concerned about current threats to our Democracy, and the effects they will have on our lives, and those of future generations. We believe in preserving basic human rights, supporting womenโs rights to bodily autonomy, providing healthcare access for all, and upholding the protections of the U.S Constitution, specifically Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech. We believe that every citizen is entitled to the same rights regardless of race, gender or orientation. Some of our other beliefs: civility, decency, compassion, integrity, transparency and honesty. We welcome anyone with these same values and concerns. Our goals are focused on what we can do to help others be more informed and understand the complexities of the current shift in policies and actions of the Executive Branch, including those non-elected individuals who have been given unprecedented access to the government. We are a group that educates and provides practical information, including alternative avenues for consumer purchases - supporting small businesses and larger corporations whose values reflect our core beliefs. We also want to help people navigate through the myriad information channels to find accurate and reliable resources and information.
