Resist + Persist - Miami County OH
Welcome to “Resist + Persist - Miami County, Ohio”! This is the official page for likeminded individuals in Miami County who are passionate about protecting voting rights, women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, public education, and gun regulations. Maybe you were a registered Republican before Trump took office in 2016 and now feel a little lost—you’re more than welcome to join us! This group is a space to seek support, ask questions, share thoughts, and post about upcoming events in our community. For a long time, many of us stayed quiet about politics. Whether in our communities, among friends and family, or on social media, we kept our opinions to ourselves. If politics came up, we either said nothing or reluctantly nodded along, afraid to speak our truth. When did we all become afraid to speak up? In a county where a strong, passionate, and deeply rooted MAGA movement grows each year, it’s easy to feel intimidated. Many MAGA supporters struggle to differentiate real news from misinformation. Add in their immediate defensiveness or stone walling, the result can be wildly unpredictable—and yes, even frightening. On November 3, 2024, we came to a harsh realization: this MAGA cult-like movement isn’t slowing down—it’s intensifying. For too long, we naively assumed that people would see through the lies. After all, Trump is a convicted felon (among many other things). So how did we get here? We must start speaking up, challenging harmful views, and confronting the discomfort—even if it means losing friends or family. As we brace for the hardships of another Trump administration, we need to stand together and push back. This group is also a safe space for those who aren’t yet ready to be publicly vocal. Many of us fear backlash—not just for ourselves, but for our families. We understand that hesitation, and there is no judgment here. So whether you choose to be loud in public or loud in this group, we need each other now more than ever. To those Democrats and Liberals who have already been fighting—thank you. Your courage has paved the way for the rest of us. Help us find that same bravery. Now, we finally have a community we can turn to. Invite like-minded friends, get involved, and let’s work together to push for change. Our goal: Engage with the community, advocate for policies that matter, and have civil yet challenging conversations in this overwhelmingly Republican area.

Let’s keep each other sane and keep going! Let's be the driving force for change in our neighborhoods and nation. We’ll be coming together monthly at our "Lit & Ready" meetings to share our ideas, collaborate, and keep building momentum. We’ll spend the first hour reflecting on what’s happened over the last month, share insights, thoughts, and laughs, and then close with a quick dive into action. You’ll leave feeling inspired and like we’re making real progress on the issues that matter most to you. Can't wait to see you all. And hey, don't hesitate to shoot me an email directly at [email protected] to share your awesome journey. Together, let's shape the world we dream of for ourselves and our little ones! Let's get after it, y'all, the world we want to wake up to is waiting.

Good Trouble Upstate
Good Trouble Upstate is a community of women in Anderson and across the Upstate who believe in the power of connection, conversation, and courage. Inspired by John Lewis’ call to make “good trouble,” we gather to learn, share, and take meaningful action on the issues that matter to our families and our future. Whether it’s swapping stories over a glass of wine, amplifying women’s voices in local politics, or finding small but mighty ways to show up for each other — this is where change starts. Together, we’re building a better South.

Our country is in deep trouble and the rise of extremism threatens the values we hold dear. Most of us have never been politically active before—but we know NOW is the time for us to come together, to step up, speak out, and ACT. Our strength lies in our diversity. We are Republicans and Democrats. We come from different backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences, but we are united by a common purpose: to create a safe, inclusive space where people can connect, learn, lean on one another, and be empowered to take meaningful action. We are committed to building a trusted source of information, free from misinformation and fear. Here, you’ll find a community that values respectful conversation, collaboration, and real active solutions. Together we can make a difference. Thank you for being part of this movement. Let’s get to work. We are based in Torrance, CA.
