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.

Bonfire - Pioneer Valley
Bonfire brings people together in real-world spaces, to grow, learn, and spark change — together and 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. So many of us give so much--to our communities, to our workplaces, and to the causes we care about--that we forget to recharge our own batteries and remember what gives us inspiration, motivation, and joy. In this spirit, Bonfire - Pioneer Valley seeks to bring local women together to build social connection and mutual support as we live our values and work collectively to bring about meaningful change in our society. Our meetings take place in varied locations around the Pioneer Valley--from group members' homes, to cafes, to other local spots--with activities ranging from social meetings, to indoor and outdoor activities, to pursuing opportunities to give back to the larger community. Created in partnership with the Red Wine & Blue (RWB) Network, Bonfire groups are local communities led by volunteer organizers who want to bring people together where they live. The RWB Network provides the tools, training, and support to help these groups grow and thrive — while keeping community building at the center.
