Local Groups
Holler Back Girls
Geared towards fellow Millennials who want to get involved at the local level, Holler Back Girls operates as a book-club style community that combines real-world experience with essential civic education. Our approach is simple but powerful: we attend county commissioner meetings together then gather to discuss and learn the practical skills needed to become effective civic participants.

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.

Bonfire - Folsom/El Dorado Hills
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 Red Wine & Blue’s TroubleNation, Bonfire groups are local communities led by volunteer organizers who want to bring people together where they live. TroubleNation provides the tools, training, and support to help these groups grow and thrive — while keeping community building at the center.

Dark Skies for Democracy (Northern Arizona)
In Arizona, sometimes it’s a challenge to connect with like-minded folks politically and morally. The erosion of integrity and ethics in American politics and the rise of corruption at the highest levels is cause for alarm. There is a plethora of restrictive, nonsensical decisions being made by hateful, racist groups that will and are affecting many members of our nation. Currently, white Christian nationalism is driving many of these policies and legislation, ignoring our Constitutions clearly stated doctrine outlining the Separation of Church and State. Any religious ideology specifically designed to control and suppress entire groups of people against their will is wrong and unconstitutional. The targets have become; women’s rights, human rights in general (LGBTQIA+), immigrants rights (esp. here in AZ), book banning, school committees, voting rights, local elections, the environment, and more. This group will share information, have regular meetings, brainstorm ideas of protest, and educate ourselves and others. An important component of this group will be ways in which WE can learn how to communicate our message about the threats to our democratic freedoms to those who are not truly understanding what is happening in our country. I live near Sedona, AZ which is a Dark Sky Community, hence the name. I hope you'll give this group a try. Let's build something truly strong and beautiful... together!
