Our mission is to work as a non-partisan community to build stronger, safer schools. We believe basic isn’t good enough—our students deserve excellence in education. We are committed to working with our schools and our neighbors to ensure that school policies come from a place of inclusiveness and understanding, not bias, and curriculum represents and celebrates the diversity of our community and our world.

New Jersey Public Education Coalition
The Coalition (NJPEC) is a Grassroots nonpartisan organization designed to preserve diversity and inclusion in our schools while preventing radical right wing injection of radical right wing Dogma and agendas. We have a Statewide network of Municipal Representatives who act as an early warning system for unethical and illegal action by Rogue board members and who helped to create coordinated local groups to provide our members with a voice against the opposition. We also accomplish our goal in coordination with New Jersey legislators as well as the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights, Attorney General's office and Governors Office.

Bonfire Thousand Oaks
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 the Red Wine & Blue Network, Bonfire groups are local communities led by volunteer organizers who want to bring people together where they live. The RWB Network provides the tools, training, and support to help these groups grow and thrive — while keeping community building at the center. Bonfire Thousand Oaks is part of a national initiative founded by Shannon Watts to ignite the power and potential of women through personal, political, and professional fulfillment. We build inclusive, joyful, and supportive spaces for local connection and meaningful change. Curious about a Bonfire event ? Come as you are. No prep, no pressure — just conversation, connection, info about upcoming events and a chance to shape what Bonfire can be in Thousand Oaks.

Supporters of Spotsylvania Public Schools
We are a non-partisan group dedicated to supporting the Spotsylvania Public School students, faculty and staff by helping to elect local school board and board of supervisor candidates that will support them. In 2023, we successfully helped to get three brand new women and one incumbent woman elected to our school board to overturn a majority pushing book bans and other right-wing agendas.

We C.A.R.E (Community, Action, Research & Education)
We C.A.R.E. (Community Action, Research & Education) is a diverse, community-based, action-oriented group that brings people of all backgrounds & abilities together to make a meaningful difference in the South-Central Ohio region. We organize because we love our community and we’re done waiting for someone else to fix it. We are committed to encouraging respectful/informed dialogue, promoting civic engagement and working collaboratively to ensure a vibrant and inclusive community for all. Our goal is to create a network of highly-motivated, compassionate people to identify critical issues facing South-Central Ohio where we can be the most effective and execute supportive actions as quickly and efficiently as possible. We seek to find those in need, empower one another to act and help fill in the cracks in the community. We will also utilize a variety of research methods and tools to identify and explain issues that are not widely reported, but extremely important to our people and our community. This is a nonpartisan and multi-partisan group that brings together a wide variety of people and groups. Some of us align with a specific political party and others don't. Some people in our network are part of established community groups, and some people are individuals who simply want to make an impact but think they are alone. We will work together in many ways depending on our own needs, talent and time. Most of our organizing and meetings will be conducted virtually through Facebook and Zoom; however, we will meet up for action days and a variety of fun activities designed to relieve stress and build friendships. Together, we'll stay informed, engaged, and empowered to make a difference in our community and beyond. Our meetings are designed to discuss relevant topics, share actions needed immediately, and rally our troops to take action. We are in a time of information overload. It is often difficult to keep up with all the important topics at any given time, so we welcome people to champion an issue, inform the group on it, and plan the action(s). We are an independent group but also part of the Red, Wine & Blue Network community so we have access to workshops and tools to help us in our efforts.
