HindSighters
Based in Endwell NY - Hindsighters are a goodwill advocacy group dedicated to bringing hope and relief to our neighbors. We seek to reconcile divisions and to be a voice for social, political, economic and environmental reform. We believe that by reflecting on past mistakes, learning from history, and engaging in nuanced dialogue, we can build a more balanced, informed and united society. Our mission is to bridge divides, challenge destructive ideologies and promote meaningful change rooted in wisdom, empathy and common ground while remaining "Joyful in Hope, Patient in affliction and Faithful in Prayer"! We are meeting once a month- our meetings have different themes with fun interactive activities, old/new business, political issues, local rallies and events, and ways to get involved. If you are interested in joining Hindsighters, please contact Lynne, and we will email you a welcome email with all the details.

NJ Voters Want More Say
We are nonpartisan group of citizens focused on reforms to make the political process more responsive to New Jersey voters for better government. Members are from Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties primarily. New Jersey voters are dissatisfied and disengaged with politics in our state. We successfully fought with the statewide coalition Fair Ballot Alliance for Fair Ballots for 2024 US Senate primary elections to lay groundwork for the successful federal lawsuit that ended the 'county line'. There's more to be done in NJ and nationally with the new onset of political turmoil. We are launching anew on the Trouble Nation platform now in January 2025, initially on Zoom then hybrid with in person meetings. We'll decide what our primary focus points will be in our initial meeting date TBA. Options: 1) Here in New Jersey, the 2025 primary elections will actually be determined more by candidates connecting with voters, instead of pleasing unelected county party chairpersons. That poses a great opportunity to educate NJ voters on our new power to determine who wins primary elections. 2) There has been a disappointing capitulation of long respected news outlets to a much more biased coverage of news. We can collect & share resources of balanced, truthful news coverage to counter misinformation and disinformation. 3) There are several new entities formed in order to defend democracy from a cross-partisan standpoint. We can use their resources to plan our efforts and actions. One of these reports is linked in op-ed "American democracy is in crisis. We have a playbook to defend it" written by two scholars from the Brookings Institute, source of the original Marshall plan to rebuild democracy for Europe after WW II, Norm Eisen and Jonathan Katz use the experiences of Brazil and Poland to fend off the backsliding in their democracies. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-democracy-crisis-brazil-poland-rcna188134
