Akron Area Women for Democracy
Welcome to our group of (mostly) women who are concerned about the future of democracy in Ohio and our country. We are not content to stand by and watch our beloved nation spiral away from a democracy toward authoritarianism. Join us to effect change on local, state and national levels! We support respect for one another, fact-based decision making in lieu of ideologies, and policies to enhance ALL of our citizenry rather than select groups. We encourage you to join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/akronareawomenfordemocracy

Temecula Valley ReSisters
Temecula Valley ReSisters is a part of Red Wine & Blue's TroubleNation (check out their website here https://redwine.blue/). They offer a ton of great resources to educate and empower us. Our local group's goal is to create a network of like minded people in Temecula Valley to identify areas that we can be the most impactful. Ideally, aligning each of our strengths and aptitudes to needs in our community. We intend to leverage the efforts of existing organizations in our community that share our values. We are looking to empower one another to take action, have fun and have no regrets. We intend on meeting the third Wednesday of the month, 6pm - 8 pm, to discuss issues and create action items. Please email Susan Nielsen at [email protected] with your name, phone number, and city you live in and I will contact you with more information before you join our group.
