Bonfire - St. Johns
Bonfire – St. Johns is an off-line, monthly gathering of women in homes and local gems across our community. We gather to build connection, feel community and grow relationships while providing opportunities to learn and give back together. Our members enjoy meeting up with one another outside of our monthly gatherings deepening their connection in both shared interests and values. We believe these recurring moments together ignite sparks within each of us that lead to the spice of life we all crave. 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! 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.

The Real Majority Holyoke
*NEW GROUP*Holyoke, MA: Please join The Real Majority Holyoke to talk about ways to create appropriate avenues of community building and solidarity in the face of a constitutional crisis. We think any local movement in Holyoke needs to directly reflect the concerns of the community, especially our most disenfranchised and marginalized residents. It is important to acknowledge that many in our predominately Puerto Rican city have been oppressed by both parties. It is perhaps more important to recognize the level of risk is multiplied for most of our community. When they come for our neighbors, STAND UP FIGHT BACK. It is necessary to organize an opposition to the actions of the current administration which is local to our city but also is careful to avoid further harm to our neighborhoods. This page and group are not affiliated with any political party. Our cause is the equitable realization of those basic rights promised at the founding of our nation and resistance to further oppression.

We C.A.R.E (Community- focused, 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.

Blue Blazers
We want correct, factual information to share with friends, family, co-workers and acquaintances. We want to express how important this election is, not just for the next 4 years, but for the future of our democracy. We are in Southwest Georgia, and have people, men and women, in our county and surrounding counties that are interested in our mission. We believe Red, Wine & Blue/TroubleNation is the avenue we want to pursue to get the job done.
