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.

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.

Misses On A Mission
Our mission will be to band together to fight against law-makers and government officials who are trying to take away our liberties and freedoms. In order to counter measures taken by the government to infringe upon our rights, we will do outreach, educate our community, protest, and otherwise spread the word in our region about our mission and about the dangers of allowing the government to take away our freedom and rights. We will also work to educate our communities about the importance of voting. We will help people register to vote, find their polling location, and help them determine who they want to vote for. We will door-knock, postcard, and hold two seasonal cookouts with a DJ, bounce houses, local vendors/businesses selling and giving away goodies, a raffle, face painting, and USA, voting, LGBTQ+, and local/regional themed craft tables.

Dark Skies for Democracy (Northern Arizona)
In Arizona, sometimes it’s a challenge to connect with like-minded folks politically and morally. The erosion of integrity and ethics in American politics and the rise of corruption at the highest levels is cause for alarm. There is a plethora of restrictive, nonsensical decisions being made by hateful, racist groups that will and are affecting many members of our nation. Currently, white Christian nationalism is driving many of these policies and legislation, ignoring our Constitutions clearly stated doctrine outlining the Separation of Church and State. Any religious ideology specifically designed to control and suppress entire groups of people against their will is wrong and unconstitutional. The targets have become; women’s rights, human rights in general (LGBTQIA+), immigrants rights (esp. here in AZ), book banning, school committees, voting rights, local elections, the environment, and more. This group will share information, have regular meetings, brainstorm ideas of protest, and educate ourselves and others. An important component of this group will be ways in which WE can learn how to communicate our message about the threats to our democratic freedoms to those who are not truly understanding what is happening in our country. I live near Sedona, AZ which is a Dark Sky Community, hence the name. I hope you'll give this group a try. Let's build something truly strong and beautiful... together!

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.
