Ballard Families for Democracy (BFFD)-News Not Noise Group

Welcome to our News Not Noise-Ballard Families for Democracy (BFFD) group! We are a small group of families in NW Seattle/Ballard neighborhood who want to make political engagement accessible and enjoyable for ourselves and neighbors. BFFD Mission: Strengthen connections in our community to facilitate individual and collective action that promote democracy in a way that is accessible to parents and families. Engage members/local families through: 1. Chat groups, web page updates, and social media posts to mobilize for simple actions (phone calls/emails) or larger calls to action (local rapid response). 2. Share information, trusted information sources, and civic action networks. 3. Semi-monthly event to engage our members and the Ballard/NW Seattle community. Fun, social events which can be enjoyed by families and neighbors alike. Also provides an opportunity to connect, share information/resources, and raises money for a cause. All while making space for members to step forward and back in our collective work to accommodate our families, jobs, etc. We are a NNN group: We’re here to make staying informed and engaged easier, not overwhelming. Together, we share trustworthy news, have meaningful conversations, and take local action that strengthens our democracy. Our group joined Red Wine & Blue/Trouble Nation because we follow News Not Noise for trusted information without a panic attack. Check out Jessica Yellin and News Not Noise on substack where you can sign up for digestible newsletters. News Not Noise groups bring our community together in person — to connect, share meaningful conversation, and build real relationships with others who value staying informed without the noise. Created in partnership with Red Wine & Blue (RWB), these small, local groups are led by News Not Noise subscribers who want to bring the spirit of this community to life where they live.
