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.

ILAB Progressives
The mission of ILAB Progressives is to provide a home for local activists to come together to take collective action at the local, state, and federal level; build community; have some laughs; and refresh / recharge. We plan to partner with nearby groups to amplify their actions (e.g., postcarding, texting, phonebanking, canvassing, collecting signatures, etc.) that focus on legislative, voter registration, and get out the vote efforts. Our website is https://indivisiblelab.org/ . We also have a FB page, a FB group, and a X account. Our X account and FB page can be found on the website.

Raeford Troublemakers
We’re a group of local women and allies in Raeford, NC, organizing around issues that impact our families, schools, and communities. Rooted in care, equity, and common sense, we believe in standing up for what’s right — even when it’s uncomfortable. That’s where the “troublemaker” name comes from: a little boldness, a lot of heart, and the belief that change starts right here at home. This group is a space to connect, share resources, and take action — whether that means showing up to a school board meeting, learning more about an issue affecting our town, or just gathering for coffee and conversation. We host book clubs, educational events, family-friendly meetups, and more. You don’t need experience — just curiosity, compassion, and the desire to make a difference. If you’re frustrated by the direction things are going and want to do something about it — not alone, but together — you belong here.
