G.I.F.T. Get Involved for Tomorrow
Our local group connects like-minded people in our community who want to work with others who share their values to protect democracy on the local, state, and national levels. G.I.F.T. Get Involved for Tomorrow was established in 2025, and we are excited to now be part of Red, Wine & Blue Trouble Nation, where we will amplify our voices with support across the Nation. Our website for G.I.F.T. is still active. However, we can gain more traction together with Trouble Nation. https://giftus.org/ https://redwineblue.controlshift.app/groups/g-i-f-t-get-involved-for-tomorrow As a non-partisan group, we hope to educate and inform on matters that matter to you!

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!

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.

Building Community in the Copper Country
Hello, friends! We have a very active community here in the Keweenaw/Copper Country. My goal is to help create a community that uplifts and protects everyone. I want to make community information more accessible and to encourage everyone to get out there and get involved. I will work with any local progressive groups to create a centralized "hub" of information and events. The core values of this page are: Help fight corruption by building community. Many people feel powerless right now when we look at the big picture. But through local government and organization, we have the best way to make a real impact. Joy is resistance. We need to rest, and love, and have fun. We can not make it through hard times without it and without each other. Community means helping and protecting our neighbors. To do that, we need to KNOW our neighbors. Similarily, this is a safe space for everyone. But, that does not include hate, bullying, misinformation, or bigotry.
