Traveling Torch: Digital Nomads for Democracy
The Traveling Torch is a collective of digital nomads and modern adventurers dedicated to protecting and promoting democracy, justice, and freedom. Inspired by the spirit of Good Trouble, we follow in the footsteps of those who have fought for equality and liberty, using our voices, actions, and journeys to challenge injustice and ignite meaningful change. As torchbearers of democratic values, we travel across the nation to engage communities, amplify diverse stories, and build networks of hope and resistance. Wherever the road takes us, we stand united in lighting the way for a brighter, more just future.

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!
