Good Trouble Appalachia
In a state that leans as strongly red as Tennessee, it’s not uncommon to feel a sense of isolation, especially when you have a perception that the country is taking a turn for the worse. You're not alone. This is your safe third place to discuss political matters and current events. Our local group connects like-minded people in our community who want to work with others who share their values to protect democracy on the local, state, and national levels. Together, we can think outside the box and create a plan to make our opinions known, as many of us feel ignored by those in power. The power of the people is greater than the people in power.

Kinnelon United
We are an all-volunteer group of local community members dedicated to promoting equality and acceptance. We believe in fair governance and representation for all. Many of our members reside in the Kinnelon/Butler NJ area and we focus on local and national issues including education, immigration rights, environment and energy, reproductive rights, racial justice, and other topics that are under attack by the Trump Administration. Our mission is to empower marginalized and disenfranchised voters, fostering a sense of community to drive positive change at the local, state, and national levels. If you live nearby and are interested in joining us, we would love to hear from you. Please complete the contact form on our website at: https://www.kinnelonunited.com/contact

Hope and Cookies: Defending Democracy One Cookie at a Time
We believe that the best way to defend our democracy is with knowledge, and the best way to help is by providing caring people with information. Hope and Cookies hosts house parties where we share information about Project 2025 and other threats to our freedom. We want to give our members the confidence to talk to their friends and neighbors (or even total strangers) in a way that will make a difference. Come for dessert and leave empowered!

Manasota (Manatee + Sarasota)
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!
