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.

Sacred Crones: Wise Women of the Western Suburbs
We are a group of middle-age and older women who have lived most of our lives suffering within the limits of patriarchy and we are done with it. We seek to dismantle the patriarchy and create a partnership society that is centered on children and community. Our mission is two-fold: first, we look for opportunities to take action right now such as getting involved with local government or protest groups, and second we are gathering a plan for 2029 by identify areas of concern that we want implemented like universal health and child care, caring for the environment, codifying women's rights and protections, and revamping all three areas of government so that those who serve actually represent the people. We meet monthly in Excelsior and would love to welcome more like-minded Women of Wisdom!
