Sacred Crones: Wise Women of the Western Suburbs
The Crone is an important part of a lost herstory. In ancient cultures around the world there were many stories, legends, and myths about the wisdom and magic of feminine elders. From the Norse Cerridwen to Egypt’s Heket, women of age were considered wise, and with wisdom came power. We are here to step into our roles as sacred crones, grateful for our age and the experience that comes with it, confident in our wisdom, and ready to wield the power we have gained. We are a group of middle-age and older women who have lived most of our lives suffering within the limits of patriarchy and we are done with it. We seek to dismantle the patriarchy and create a partnership society that is centered on children and community. Our mission is two-fold: first, we look for opportunities to take action right now such as getting involved with local government or protest groups, and second we are gathering a plan for 2029 by identifying areas of concern and change that we want implemented such as universal health and child care, caring for the environment, codifying women's rights and protections, and revamping all three areas of government so that those who serve actually represent the people. We meet every three to four weeks in person in Excelsior or virtual, and would love to welcome more like-minded Wise Women!

Women Defending Democracy-Western Fairfax
Women Defending Democracy – Western Fairfax brings together women who want to be informed, engaged, and intentional about their role as voters. We focus on understanding the policies, issues, and decisions that impact our daily lives—and turning that knowledge into action. Our members don’t just pay attention—we participate, organize, and vote with purpose. We learn from experts, gather in person and online, and equip each other with practical ways to take action—whether that’s advocating on key issues, supporting candidates, or mobilizing our communities. This is where information turns into momentum. The future of our democracy will be shaped by women who show up, get informed, stay engaged, and mobilize—and we intend to be those women. (The group is open to everyone, regardless of location; in-person events will be held in rotating locations around Western Fairfax - Burke, Centerville, Chantilly, Clifton, Fairfax, Fairfax Station, Herndon, Merrifield, Oakton, Reston, Tysons and Vienna)

Warriors For Democracy - We're Not Going Back
After we dust ourselves off and shed our last tears, let's regroup and come together to keep fighting for our democracy and our values. We can continue to make our voices heard. With so much out of our control on a bigger scale, let's keep focused on what we can do locally. Let's keep the record of our true history so we can pass it on to the next generation. Let's find a way to be the shining lights to help us all navigate through this darkness.

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.
