Main Street Reading+ Club Colorado
Main Street Reading+ Club is group that seeks to connect, challenge, build community and inspire each other through the power of multimedia knowledge. Our Reading "Plus" club goes beyond books at Monthly in-person Reverse Reading Club events. We also are working to pull together guides you can use while reading at home. What is a Reverse Reading Club? A book discussion before the book! You show up and bring your brilliant mind. You can buy food and drinks when we host at local business locations or bring food when we host at local library locations.

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.

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.
