Akron Democracy Defenders
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/akrondemocracydefenders

Good Trouble in Southern Maryland
Our local group will connect 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. From Timothy Snyder's ON TYRANNY, "Power wants your body softening in your chair and your emotions dissipating on the screen. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them."

Wake Women Have Mercy
Have Mercy is named in honor of Bishop Budde who bravely asked tRump to "have mercy" on those who are not in his shoes. Our hope is to gather like-minded individuals for mutual encouragement, community-building, and small actions to help sustain our democracy in any way we can. We’re working to change things from the bottom up. With little acts, even if you can only commit an hour a month, it’s valuable. Civic engagement takes many forms. We would love for you to join us in the Resistance!
