Defending Democracy in Hampden County
Our local group (Springfield, Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, Wilbraham, Hampden, etc) connects like-minded people in our community who want to work with others who share their values to protect democracy against extremism and misinformation on the local, state and national levels. We are a non-partisan body of concerned citizens who cannot just sit by and watch our beloved country succumb to the demands of autocracy. "I do believe very strongly that America's democracy is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it - every single person, their willingness to fight for and respect the importance of our democracy. Otherwise, it is very fragile and it will not be able to withstand moments of crisis."

Ottawa County Voices (MI)
(Please click on the blue "Ottawa County Voices (MI)" title above to go to our landing page. If the letters aren't blue, you're there!) Ottawa County Voices connects local people who share values and want to protect democracy at local, state and national levels. We're re-grouping for 2025, based on the most important issues facing us. There are municipal elections, state issues, and national matters that need our voices. If you want to make a difference in a way that's a good fit for your time, talents, and interests -- no matter where you live --- join Ottawa County Voices, and work on the issues you care about! We are a non-partisan educational group. Our goal is to help our members have good conversations with others about the important issues facing Ottawa County, Michigan and the USA. Here's what we did in 2024: 1) Restore good governance, transparency and fiscal responsibility to Ottawa County. 2) Encourage everyone to vote on November 5. 3) Explain how Project 2025 would affect you at the local, state and federal levels. We helped people sort through many issues in 2024. We posted resources here every week or so, to understand what we see and read, and help us talk with others about it. We’re not a PAC. We don’t compete with local groups organized in your districts and communities. We support that work and want to help you do it better. You don't have to live in Ottawa County to join: the issues we care about affect folks everywhere. We give folks: TOOLS to help us speak effectively with friends and family about issues, even if they see things differently. Tools to help us handle disinformation. Tools that encourage people to vote. LINKS that summarize key information, like who's running for what office, or how Project 2025 will impact American women. Links that help us get involved -- a little or a lot - locally. EVENTS that are live, or over Zoom. We meet in different ways, so you can choose.
