We Are Trouble
Have you been trying to figure out how to do more to fight extremism, or you’re looking to be part of a like-minded community of troublemakers? Do you want a place to laugh, complain freely about politics, drink wine (or your favorite beverage of choice), and connect with like-minded people? Then you are in the right place! We Are Trouble will help you find other members in Centre County who share your frustration with the rise of extremism in this community. Yes — they do exist! Even if you feel alone, we guarantee, you are not! And guess what — it will be fun! It's fun to DO something to help create meaningful, lasting change. You don't have to identify as an “activist”, and you don't have to attend formally structured meetings. Join We Are Trouble to become informed, share your experiences in a social setting, and work with others who share your values to protect democracy on the local, state and national level.

New Jersey Public Education Coalition
The Coalition (NJPEC) is a Grassroots nonpartisan organization designed to preserve diversity and inclusion in our schools while preventing radical right wing injection of radical right wing Dogma and agendas. We have a Statewide network of Municipal Representatives who act as an early warning system for unethical and illegal action by Rogue board members and who helped to create coordinated local groups to provide our members with a voice against the opposition. We also accomplish our goal in coordination with New Jersey legislators as well as the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights, Attorney General's office and Governors Office.

Trans Minors Rights
Our goal is to empower transgender youth by educating our communities on issues facing young transgender people and providing youth with the knowledge and tools they need to combat gender dysphoria. Our focus is on advocacy across the state of Pennsylvania, but we hope to grow into surrounding states! Our communities are currently largest in Lancaster, Berks, and surrounding counties in PA. Join us to help educate doctors and teachers on trans care, provide gender-affirming products to trans youth, and talk to lawmakers about creating robust policies to protect trans and gender-nonconforming youth.

Supporters of Spotsylvania Public Schools
We are a non-partisan group dedicated to supporting the Spotsylvania Public School students, faculty and staff by helping to elect local school board and board of supervisor candidates that will support them. In 2023, we successfully helped to get three brand new women and one incumbent woman elected to our school board to overturn a majority pushing book bans and other right-wing agendas.

Good Trouble Appalachia
In a state that leans as strongly red as Tennessee, it’s not uncommon to feel a sense of isolation, especially when you have a perception that the country is taking a turn for the worse. You're not alone. This is your safe third place to discuss political matters and current events. Our local group connects like-minded people in our community who want to work with others who share their values to protect democracy on the local, state, and national levels. Together, we can think outside the box and create a plan to make our opinions known, as many of us feel ignored by those in power. The power of the people is greater than the people in power.
