As torchbearers of democratic values, we travel across the nation to engage communities, amplify diverse stories, and build networks of hope and resistance. Wherever the road takes us, we stand united in lighting the way for a brighter, more just future.

Making Good Trouble in York County
We will work to prevent the Republican takeover of democracy as outlined in Project 2025. Trump and his allies and lackeys represent an existential threat to democracy itself, as well as the safety and security of individuals who are in the LGBTQIA community, people of color, people with disabilities, and women of childbearing age.

Team Cannon
“Team Cannon” exists to shed light on local issues affecting the residents of Cannon Township, Kent County, MI. In 2023 alone, the Township Board has hosted an “infomercial” Town Hall by the Kent County Prosecutor disputing Michigan’s majority-passed Proposal 3 regarding reproductive rights, implemented discussion regarding the sale of a public Township Park, mismanaged an ongoing dispute between two businesses and the use of land the Board had given away without a written agreement, replaced the only two female seats on the board with men when the seats became vacant, and publicly bullied and maligned residents asking legitimate questions. Team Cannon’s goal is to see our local government officials working FOR the residents to maintain and improve our community.
