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!

Bonfire - St. Pete
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. Bonfire - St. Pete meets monthly in coffee shops, parks, and other locations around our beautiful Sunshine City. Our main goal is to build a joyful community where members can connect, feel supported, and learn together. In addition to our monthly events, we plan to have regular gatherings with a variety of purposes. These include, but are not limited to, nature walks, local festivals, visiting museums, sharing meals, learning about our city’s history and politics, volunteering, and taking action to help our community.

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.
