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.

Anchorage Women for Democracy
I've gathered 11 other women friends (all retired) together, we have had 3 meetings--tend to run every 5 weeks or so. We are currently winging the month to month dates--we Alaskans do a lot of traveling in the winter :-). We are focused on voting (as a group) and keeping our ranked choice voting in place. We communicate for rallies and other things of interest--and I think various combinations of folk will do other things. We've enjoyed our conversations, companionship, and speaker engagements. We are still exploring...definitely focused on community...and most of us are already active in a variety of ways. Unsure where this will go! But it felt good to start something.
