Bonfire - Colorado Springs
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 Colorado Springs brings together value-aligned women in the COS area to create meaningful relationships where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute. We gather monthly in member homes and local spots throughout The Springs where we lead with empathy, compassion, and kindness to build the community we want to live in. OUR BONFIRE VALUES > Inclusivity & Dialogue > Authenticity > Curiosity & Collaboration > Justice & Democracy > Local Impact > Joy

NHC Educational Justice
Our Mission Statement: NHC Educational Justice is a group of activists who champion honest and open policy and decision-making within our schools to promote a safe, quality and equitable education for all. We attend all New Hanover County school board meetings and most school board committee meetings - either in person or virtually. We communicate key discussion topics and issues to the community through our FB page - https://www.facebook.com/NHCEJ/ - and engage our local community through various call to actions (email campaigns, petitions, etc). We also assist our community through various levels of support - including speaking on behalf of staff at board meetings, assisting parents through the IEP and/or complaint process, amplifying voices of community members and other organizations, etc. We are a small group of 6 women who are parents and/or retired NHCS educators and we are passionate about strengthening and investing into our public schools. We want to connect with other like minded local community members as we expand the work we do.

Lake County Liberty Lovers
We believe that community means looking out for one another—no matter who you are or where you come from. In a time where new government policies, ICE detentions, and deportations are impacting our friends and family, we refuse to look away. We stand firmly in the belief that every human being is equal and that democracy only works when we protect each other. Do you want to lend a hand? This is the place for you. Let’s prove that "neighbor" is a verb. Join us in making sure no one stands alone. Creemos que la comunidad significa cuidarse unos a otros, sin importar quiénes sean o de dónde vengan. En un momento en que las nuevas políticas gubernamentales, las detenciones de ICE y las deportaciones están afectando a nuestros amigos y familiares, nos negamos a mirar hacia otro lado. Creemos firmemente que todos los seres humanos son iguales y que la democracia solo funciona cuando nos protegemos mutuamente. ¿Quieres echar una mano? Este es el lugar para ti. Únete a nosotros para asegurarnos de que nadie se quede solo.
