Red Wing Snowstorm
Snowstorm was founded at a kitchen table after Donald Trump’s election in 2016. The founders wanted to create a safe place (private Facebook group) for the community to share fears, concerns, support and information. In 2021 Snowstorm hosted a Reproductive Rights Rally (150 participants) and in 2023 a public demonstration was held in the park supporting reproductive rights. More organizing events are planned for the 2024 election season.

Eat, Drink and Protect Democracy
Eat, Drink and Protect Democracy Based in Salem, Oregon, the focus of this group is to support one another as we monitor and respond to local threats to democracy that restrict civil and human rights. We meet the first Sunday of each month at a home in NE Salem from 4:00 - 5:30 or so. We've been communicating via email so don't be surprised if you don't see a lot of communication through this site. Each meeting begins with informal networking over wine or N/A drinks, then into a potluck dinner and ends with a formal meeting. Sharing meals facilitates connections and we ask that everyone pitches in. One person will volunteer a main dish and then everyone else offers side dishes that complement it. If you join, please let the coordinator know if you have any dietary restrictions. We have moved from a legislative focus to pursuing different (but similar) personal priorities while coming together when needed to address local issues. For example, several members are volunteering for Vanessa Nordyke's (mayoral candidate) campaign. We use group time to learn from one another, draw inspiration, review what we've done over the past month and discuss issues that threaten democracy. We are seeking committed folks because supporting democracy, barring a family emergency, illness, etc., is absolutely essential right now. The formal meeting entails: 1. Headspace Check-In (optional) - Holding space to vent about issues close to our hearts. 2. Inspiration Circle - Discuss what we've been up to over the last month and draw inspiration from one another. 3. Discussions - "Hot" topics (provided with agenda distributed before each meeting.) 4. Wrap-Up Host Provides: 1. A clean, comfortable venue for the monthly events. (max capacity: 14). 2. Plates and silverware. 3. Cleaning of glasses/plates/silverware. 4. Filtered water and glasses. Requirements: 1. You are willing and able to do SOMETHING to protect democracy. 2. You are accepting and open to diverse viewpoints that align with democratic principles. 3. You are willing to bring a dish to share. 4. Bring a bag to haul your personal dirty serving dishes/utensils. 5.. Bring drinks other than water (provided) New members, unknown to anyone in the group, will receive an invitation for a meet and greet at a local coffee shop. We hope you will join us!

Strong Women, Strong Coffee
Welcome to Strong Women, Strong Coffee, where passionate and determined women gather once a month (Saturday mornings at 9AM) to engage in meaningful conversations over a warm cup of coffee. In an era where our democracy faces pressing challenges, we share our hopes, fears, and tangible actions that can help us rescue, recover, and rebuild the values we hold dear. Our meetings provide a safe and casual atmosphere, encouraging open dialogue and fostering connection among women who share a common concern about the authoritarian path our nation is on. While we occasionally invite guest speakers to enrich our discussions, the heart of our group lies in our sisterhood and solidarity. Men may be invited under special circumstances, but please understand that this is a space created by and for women to express ourselves and support one another without male influence (which surely is valuable in other settings). Together, we brainstorm strategies, share insights, and empower each other as we navigate the complexities of our political landscape. Join us as we brew strong coffee and cultivate even stronger voices for democracy!
