Interest Groups

Interest groups are email-based lists that bring together people who share a common cause or area of concern. They are used to send messages, updates, and information to a large audience at once, fostering shared discussion or serving as announcement channels. Join an Interest Group if you want to stay informed, learn more about a specific issue, share ideas or resources, and be part of broader conversations without committing to real-time coordination or ongoing organizing work. We have interest groups organized in the following areas:

• Abortion Access/Reproductive Rights: This group shares information, resources, and updates related to abortion access and reproductive rights, and helps connect people to local and national efforts to protect and restore reproductive freedom. Members may also coordinate or share opportunities for local action and support.

• Building Alternatives: This group focuses on sharing ideas, resources, and examples of how communities are advancing alternative visions for governance and building power within our own communities.

• Climate Change/Protecting the Environment: This group shares information, research, and action opportunities related to climate change and environmental protection, with an emphasis on local impacts and ways our community can engage through advocacy, education, and organizing.

• Defending Democracy & Civic Institutions: This group focuses on sharing information about threats to democratic norms and civic institutions, highlighting opportunities for civic engagement, public accountability, and coordinated local responses.

• LGBTQ+ Rights/Protection: This group shares information, resources, and action opportunities related to LGBTQ+ rights and protections, with a focus on supporting trans people and other vulnerable members of the community through education, advocacy, and local organizing.
