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!

NW Stronger Together
We are a local group of activists in the mostly NE Portland Metro area, but have held events where anyone from anywhere can join. We are continually evolving as the chaos shifts. We quickly became focused on immigration issues as that seemed (and still seems) a pressing and urgent issue. We've held a movie event (Borderland) and a KYR training. We plan to hold other training events in the future. We're also concerned about all other issues that impact all of our rights including abortion rights, common sense gun laws, LGBTQ+ rights, disability rights, environmental issues, women's rights, constitutional issues, democracy, etc. We go to protests, hold meetings and events, share information, etc. Please join us in this resistance!
