Common Sense
Our mission is to work as a non-partisan community to build stronger, safer schools. We believe basic isn’t good enough—our students deserve excellence in education. We are committed to working with our schools and our neighbors to ensure that school policies come from a place of inclusiveness and understanding, not bias, and curriculum represents and celebrates the diversity of our community and our world.

Strong Women, Strong Coffee
Welcome to Strong Women, Strong Coffee, where passionate and determined women gather once a month (Saturday mornings at 9AM) to engage in meaningful conversations over a warm cup of coffee. In an era where our democracy faces pressing challenges, we share our hopes, fears, and tangible actions that can help us rescue, recover, and rebuild the values we hold dear. Our meetings provide a safe and casual atmosphere, encouraging open dialogue and fostering connection among women who share a common concern about the authoritarian path our nation is on. While we occasionally invite guest speakers to enrich our discussions, the heart of our group lies in our sisterhood and solidarity. Men may be invited under special circumstances, but please understand that this is a space created by and for women to express ourselves and support one another without male influence (which surely is valuable in other settings). Together, we brainstorm strategies, share insights, and empower each other as we navigate the complexities of our political landscape. Join us as we brew strong coffee and cultivate even stronger voices for democracy!

On tyranny lesson number 10 Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights. The Michigan open meetings act of 1975 allows any resident to speak in any district at any open meeting. There are over 40 opportunities to speak to the public in the county of Washington alone. At her most recent Townhall, representative Debbie Dingell had a specific ask. Get out into the community and speak truth, tell stories, and help our communities understand the impact of these policies and what they can do to fight back. The purpose of this group is to get as many people as possible into every open meeting in Washtenaw County. If we could get at least three people to commit to every meeting, we could tell the truth about this administration‘s policies, we could convey the stories of individuals who are being directly impacted by those policies, and we could help communities understand how they will be impacted by those policies and what they can do to fight back Some people find it difficult to speak in public because they don’t know what they will say. We will be working on scripting for those three part presentations at each meeting or you can speak your heart. If speaking in public isn’t your thing, we can still use your help writing scripts And/or supporting people that do speak in the meetings. let’s get out there and tell the public what they need to know and understand.

Progressive Buzz
Progressive Buzz is an independent group of Red, Wine and Blue and TroubleNation (an arm of RWB) focused on protecting and saving our democracy by getting sh*t done! We welcome people who are new to politics, longtime activists, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, non-affiliated peeps...you get the idea. Come join us in creating a comfortable safe space where we can form new friendships, learn, commiserate, and share our feelings about what’s happening locally and across the country. Our judgement-free meetings will be in someone’s home or at a fun venue like a wine bar to keep the vibe chill. During our meetings, some of us might drink wine, some of us might not, some of us may curse, some of us may not - all that matters is that you're okay with it either way. In addition to the social and bonding time, we will be getting down to business. We'll incorporate a brief educational component into each meeting with easy, localized calls to action. It might be as simple as calling elected officials, attending a school board meeting, or completing a training. You know us women, we get it done! The group is based out of Brigham City and open to anyone in the state who is willing to make the drive (we'll try to find venues all along the Layton-Logan front)! If you are unsure whether this group is for you, please check out https://redwine.blue/who-we-are/ and https://redwine.blue/our-values/
