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.

WAVE: (Williamson County) WillCo Activating Voter Engagement
WAVE (Williamson County- WillCo Activating Voter Engagement) is a nonpartisan grassroots movement committed to educating, empowering, and activating the electorate across Tennessee. If you are feeling politically abandoned, bewildered, or (temporarily) powerless, we're your people! We believe in returning to fair representation of all constituents, informed and educated voters, and courageous civic engagement. In an era of gerrymandering, polarization, and assumed party voting, WAVE advocates for a responsible electorate that won't be taken for granted. Our votes are earned - not assumed - and our voices won’t be silenced. Our group started in Williamson County, Tennessee, and our gerrymandered lines include (but not limited to): Williamson, Benton, Maury, Davidson, Dickson, Sumner, Stewart, Wilson, Montgomery, Hickman, Giles, Lewis, Humphreys, Perry, Lawrence, and Wayne counties. Bottomline, we welcome all Tennesseans to our group. Our non-partisan goals aren’t bound by party affiliation. We’re listening, talking, and working together to hold elected leaders (local, state, and federal) accountable to the people they serve. Help us build a coalition of educated, empowered Tennessee voters by joining the WAVE today.

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. Bonfire - Manasota (Manatee Co & Sarasota Co) meets monthly in member's homes, cafes ad other various locations across our community. Our hope is to build connection and community where needed the most, and empower and cultivate full potential in everyone's dreams and goals. We are planning events such as volunteering at food bank, Dance class for emotional health, and study hall with guests who are leaders in the community. Look forward to meet you!
