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.

Bonfire Thousand Oaks
Bonfire brings people together in real-world spaces, to grow, learn, and spark change — together, in person. We’re building community right in your backyard, with events and gatherings that offer opportunities for personal, professional, and political engagement and fulfillment. If you are looking for connection and joy, seeking inspiration or have some to share, we have a seat by our fire for you! Bonfire was created for women of all ages and backgrounds, but is not exclusive to women. Created in partnership with the Red Wine & Blue Network, Bonfire groups are local communities led by volunteer organizers who want to bring people together where they live. The RWB Network provides the tools, training, and support to help these groups grow and thrive — while keeping community building at the center. Bonfire Thousand Oaks is part of a national initiative founded by Shannon Watts to ignite the power and potential of women through personal, political, and professional fulfillment. We build inclusive, joyful, and supportive spaces for local connection and meaningful change. Curious about a Bonfire event ? Come as you are. No prep, no pressure — just conversation, connection, info about upcoming events and a chance to shape what Bonfire can be in Thousand Oaks.

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.

WAVE: (Williamson County) WillCo Activating Voter Engagement
WAVE (Williamson County- WillCo Activating Voter Engagement) is a nonpartisan grassroots movement committed to educating, empowering, and activating the electorate across Tennessee. If you are feeling politically abandoned, bewildered, or (temporarily) powerless, we're your people! We believe in returning to fair representation of all constituents, informed and educated voters, and courageous civic engagement. In an era of gerrymandering, polarization, and assumed party voting, WAVE advocates for a responsible electorate that won't be taken for granted. Our votes are earned - not assumed - and our voices won’t be silenced. Our group started in Williamson County, Tennessee, and our gerrymandered lines include (but not limited to): Williamson, Benton, Maury, Davidson, Dickson, Sumner, Stewart, Wilson, Montgomery, Hickman, Giles, Lewis, Humphreys, Perry, Lawrence, and Wayne counties. Bottomline, we welcome all Tennesseans to our group. Our non-partisan goals aren’t bound by party affiliation. We’re listening, talking, and working together to hold elected leaders (local, state, and federal) accountable to the people they serve. Help us build a coalition of educated, empowered Tennessee voters by joining the WAVE today.
