Carteret Change Makers
Carteret County residents deserve education that is fact-based and action-oriented. It’s important that this group meets people where they are and helps them understand their own power to create positive change in local, state and national issues that impact them.

Cup of Sugar
Cup of Sugar exists to create small, durable rooms of attention where care, dignity, and relationship can be practiced under civic fracture and climate disruption, without scale, spectacle, or extraction. Citizenship, here, is practiced quietly—in decency, responsibility, and shared life. Cup of Sugar begins with a familiar gesture: borrowing something small from a neighbor. Not an argument. Not a program. Just attention. We offer brief reflections on everyday American life—moments of care, repair, and response that sustain democracy long before policies or positions take shape. In conjunction with Cup of Sugar, I began writing a publication titled NOTICINGS, which arises from living under civic fracture and climate disruption. NOTICINGS quietly rejects the idea that democracy or repair is a solo act, or that constant breaking-news outrage can sustain either. Democracy endures through shared attention to what is essential for care, safety, and dignity. To read more, please visit: https://gotcupofsugar.substack.com/

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)

Bonfire - Yardley
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.

Community412
At Community412, COMMUNITY is key. We gather because we know we can’t get through difficult times alone. We may not always share the same views but we share basic values – anti-extremism, pro-democracy, and pro-civil rights. We focus on what we CAN do. We are not an "activist" group -- everyone decides for themselves what they care most about and feel comfortable doing. We strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to share thoughts and ideas because we believe it is uplifting to learn what folks are doing to try to have an impact, no matter how small.

Sacred Crones: Wise Women of the Western Suburbs
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 monthly in Excelsior and would love to welcome more like-minded Wise Women!

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.
