Matriarchs for Change

This group was formed in June of 2020 in response to all the social and political issues of the times and the inability to join in protests and other in-person support groups due to the pandemic. We have about 60 members. Most members are from Nebraska but we also have members from Virginia, North Carolina, Kansas, and Colorado. We meet every other week via Zoom, Below is our mission statement and current goals. Mission Statement--Active and involved matriarchs engaging others to create an equitable future for all.

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.
