We bring together women in our community who feel strongly about uniting around liberty and justice FOR ALL.

This group has three primary goals:

1. Save democracy by causing good (nonviolent) trouble. We are terrified of a country that so easily believes the lies of an authoritarian sociopath, state media that pushes extreme right-wing propaganda, and a government that denies its citizens a living wage, affordable healthcare, education, and strips away our rights for the benefit of billionaires and corporations. We are the legs this country stands on, and it's about time we remind them. We are brave enough to recognize our fear and courageous enough to do something about it.

2. Consistently and persistently take action. We stand behind the minority members of our society: women, veterans, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ+. We defend the right and freedom to exist as you are, love who you want, and to do so without discrimination, but with encouragement. We fight hate with love because it is infinitely stronger. No one is above the law, and everyone is entitled to due process.

3. Build community. Our different skills, knowledge, experience, and solutions make us stronger, smarter, and more capable. We support each other and are building connections. From martial law (and other worst-case scenarios) to walking dogs to help a friend who twisted their ankle, we're here for each other.

Education and awareness are the name of the game, and girl, do we love to play.

Empathy and respect are the rules, and with that said, do not go gently into that dark night….
