Welcome to North Shore Progressive WAVE: Women’s Action, Voice & Engagement Our pillars: 1. Connection We believe strong local relationships are a powerful defense against authoritarianism and source of resilience. This group will prioritize joy, friendship, and meaningful connection through regular social gatherings and community-building. 2. Progressive Action, Local and National Local Engagement: We’ll stay informed and active in our towns and neighborhoods, protecting our shared values through civic involvement and community organizing. National Solidarity: We’ll stay connected to national progressive movements and take coordinated action on broader issues that align with our mission. 3. Mutual Aid We’re committed to building a community where women can show up for each other and our neighbors.

Please join us for monthly in person meetings to foster community and help fulfill mutual aid needs as they come up.

Bonfire-Naperville
Bonfire brings people together in real-world spaces, to grow, learn, and spark change — together, in person. We’re building community right in your backyard, with events and gatherings that offer opportunities for personal, professional, and political engagement and fulfillment. If you are looking for connection and joy, seeking inspiration or have some to share, we have a seat by our fire for you! Bonfire was created for women of all ages and backgrounds, but is not exclusive to women. Created in partnership with Red Wine & Blue’s TroubleNation, Bonfire groups are local communities led by volunteer organizers who want to bring people together where they live. TroubleNation provides the tools, training, and support to help these groups grow and thrive — while keeping community building at the center.

Team Cannon
“Team Cannon” exists to shed light on local issues affecting the residents of Cannon Township, Kent County, MI. In 2023 alone, the Township Board has hosted an “infomercial” Town Hall by the Kent County Prosecutor disputing Michigan’s majority-passed Proposal 3 regarding reproductive rights, implemented discussion regarding the sale of a public Township Park, mismanaged an ongoing dispute between two businesses and the use of land the Board had given away without a written agreement, replaced the only two female seats on the board with men when the seats became vacant, and publicly bullied and maligned residents asking legitimate questions. Team Cannon’s goal is to see our local government officials working FOR the residents to maintain and improve our community.
