Lovers BV
LOVERS BV - In our small mountain town of Buena Vista (BV), a group of people gathered to express their thoughts and opinions about what was happening nationally. We adopted the acronym for not just our commitment to non-violence and respect for all people, but because it brought us together: League of Obliged and Varied voices Exercising Our Rights and Safeguarding Democracy. Welcome to LOVERS BV, open to anyone in our beautiful Chaffee County. We come from all kinds of backgrounds and ages. We join to fight for our community, democracy, and standing for what is good and morally right.

Bonfire - Charlotte
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. The goal of the Charlotte Bonfire is to create community and joy in Charlotte, North Carolina! We meet on the third Wednesday of every month and look forward to growing our community and joyful connections across this beautiful city. If you are interested in exploring Charlotte, volunteering, participating in a book club, hearing from speakers, and meeting amazing people, please join us! Everyone is welcome!
