Reading the Resistance
Welcome to Reading the Resistance, a local group dedicated to fostering meaningful change and empowering individuals who want to actively resist the harmful impacts of the Trump administration. Through a combination of decompression events, book discussions, and educational resources, we aim to create a supportive space where like-minded individuals can come together to learn, share, and take action. Our book club will focus on reading and discussing books from the banned book list, exploring themes of freedom, justice, and resistance. By reading these essential works, we encourage critical thinking, open dialogue, and a deeper understanding of the values we must protect. In addition to our book club, we will provide resources to help members stay informed and get involved in local activism. We'll share information on local representatives, provide strategies for effective advocacy, and discuss ways to take action in our communities to resist injustice and oppression. Join us as we stand together, read critically, and fight for the future we believe in.

Resisters for Democracy - Europe
Those of us far away (CET time zone) can also organize to help protect democracy in the face of crazy things from the once again 'president' (aka traitor) of the USA and his ilk... Join in with this group to brainstorm and act! The current administration's wrecking balls are affecting us all. Many countries have problems of right wing and authoritarian politicians... The thought is that this group might not just be for American voters, as so much of the world is having difficulties around democracy/totalitarianism... What could help everyone is to find concrete ways to take action that matters... Even from Europe, we can make our voices heard!

Triad Actioneers - Greater Triad Area NC
Our local group will connect people ready for action in our community who want to work with others to protect democracy on the local, state, and national levels. This Team will meet monthly to discuss relevant topics, share actions needed immediately, and rally our troops to take action. We welcome people to champion an issue, inform the group on it, and plan action for it. As interest grows in the Triad, we will host even larger gatherings to share information and most importantly, share ACTIONS needed to protect our local, state, and national democracy. With numerous battles being fought regarding topics important to human rights throughout the state of NC, Triad Actioneers formed in the Spring of 2023 to offer a central location for information sharing. Our members found it difficult to keep up with all of the information on each of the important topics. We now team up with other community groups to know how and when to take action for greater impact regarding a hot topic. To alleviate frustration and develop action that will make a positive change, a champion will bring current information and specific needed actions to each meeting regarding the following topics: Education School Budget School Vouchers BOE Updates Freedom to Parent Trans Initiatives Reproductive Health ...any other relevant topic that is key to defending democracy. Thank you for being a badass by wanting to take action to defend our democracy! We look forward to meeting you soon.

Elections Matter Now
This is a non partisan group focused on uniting with millions of other pro-democracy Americans for nonviolent noncooperation with the authoritarian regime ruling our country at this moment in history. According to historian Heather Cox Richardson, our country has been here before and survived. This time let's do better than survive and work together to build a democracy that works for everyone, not just the white oligarchs of our country and the world. Republicans, independents and democrats that want to participate in fighting for democracy, are welcome here! Bring your ideas and your energy. Together we'll brainstorm opportunities for each one of us, that'll fit our individual styles to work on crumbling the pillars that are supporting the authoritarians! 1. We have to continually stand up and sound the alarm as the Trump Administration and authors of Project 2025 press on rolling out the Project 2025 agenda and ending democracy. 2. There are many ways to be part of the democracy defending movement: a. call congresspeople in our state and all across the country b. rallies c. postcarding/letters d. community networking e. I'd love to hear your ideas too 3. Do all we can to help get democrats elected in 2026, sending them to congress so they can impeach the wanna be king. 4. Get democrats/independents elected down ballot in 2026 to prevent Project 2025 from being carried out at the state level. 5. Dark money will be pouring into elections. We need to educate and encourage voters to consider who is paying for the media messages & how they're trying to manipulate our votes. 6. Work with our swing state democratic parties in any way we can to help turn out voters sending a loud, clear message to MAGA extremists that WE ARE NOT GOING BACK, WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.
