Defenders of Democracy
Montanans have a fighting spirit but our low population and large geographical size can make organizing at a state level challenging. Having a "North Star" of communication that people throughout the state can identify and pull information from is what we need. Few of us here have time to reinvent the wheel. We need tools already created, ready to go, and focused on Project 2025. We've been building our communication channels but need tools to communicate on Project 2025 effectively. From what many of us experienced during last night's webinar with Heather Cox Richardson, TroubleNation/Red Wine & Blue is what we've been looking for! On a personal level, I was the 2022 Democratic Candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Montana's 2nd Congressional District, a deeply red district. Through my campaign, we built many communication channels in hardcore red counties. Focusing our communication on Project 2025 is key to moving the needle and breaking through the red strongholds.

Making Good Trouble in York County
We will work to prevent the Republican takeover of democracy as outlined in Project 2025. Trump and his allies and lackeys represent an existential threat to democracy itself, as well as the safety and security of individuals who are in the LGBTQIA community, people of color, people with disabilities, and women of childbearing age.

We Go High - Orange County, CA
We have more than just the members listed here! Our group was started before we joined Trouble Nation. We are a small group that meets via Zoom for one (1) hour bi-weekly. Most members are in Southern California, but everyone is welcome since we meet virtually! We are here to support one another, fight for our democracy, and create meaningful connections. We meet bi-weekly via Zoom on Saturdays at 11:00 a.m. (PT). On our calls, we discuss all the ways we can help save our democracy, and many of us attend protests and rallies together. Recently, a few of us rode the Metro train from Irvine to Los Angeles to attend the Fighting Oligarchy Tour with Berine and AOC. We are stronger in numbers and when we are together!
