Cup of Sugar
As you all know, in Heather Cox Richardson’s opinion, our conversations with people really do create change. "Talk to neighbors and friends one-to-one," she often says. "That matters more than anything." Conversations can spark real change. We believe that talking one-to-one with neighbors, friends, and even everyday acquaintances—like your barista or mail carrier—makes a difference in protecting democracy. Our 'Cup of Sugar' recipe cards are tools for these conversations. Use them as conversation starters, sharing them when you talk to others. Together, let's protect democracy—one conversation at a time. When using trusted ingredients for a cake, we know the cake will taste good. Likewise, the ingredients for a democracy are laws and policies that protect freedom and the rule of law for all Americans. The purpose of Cup of Sugar is to offer a way to see the differences in the ingredients between HARRIS/Walz and TRUMP/Vance/Project 2025. Still, far too many Americans still do not know about Project 2025. Should Donald Trump be elected, most do not know what exactly will be served on every single kitchen table nationwide. Cup of Sugar cards are available to all TroubleNation groups. They are free as long as supplies last. It's something beautiful to give away. No postage needed! No uploading necessary. A card is just between you and me and just between you and yours. Which one of these recipes do you choose for your future? HARRIS/Walz or TRUMP/Vance? Which recipe will taste best for your future?

Red Wing Snowstorm
Snowstorm was founded at a kitchen table after Donald Trump’s election in 2016. The founders wanted to create a safe place (private Facebook group) for the community to share fears, concerns, support and information. In 2021 Snowstorm hosted a Reproductive Rights Rally (150 participants) and in 2023 a public demonstration was held in the park supporting reproductive rights. More organizing events are planned for the 2024 election season.

NHC Educational Justice
Our Mission Statement: NHC Educational Justice is a group of activists who champion honest and open policy and decision-making within our schools to promote a safe, quality and equitable education for all. We attend all New Hanover County school board meetings and most school board committee meetings - either in person or virtually. We communicate key discussion topics and issues to the community through our FB page - https://www.facebook.com/NHCEJ/ - and engage our local community through various call to actions (email campaigns, petitions, etc). We also assist our community through various levels of support - including speaking on behalf of staff at board meetings, assisting parents through the IEP and/or complaint process, amplifying voices of community members and other organizations, etc. We are a small group of 6 women who are parents and/or retired NHCS educators and we are passionate about strengthening and investing into our public schools. We want to connect with other like minded local community members as we expand the work we do.
