Most of us are bouncing between rage, fear, heartbreak, and total exhaustion.
So… WTF are we supposed to do?
We start here.
We gather, not to escape it all, but to face it with each other.
To breathe. To ground. To take meaningful action. To remember we’re not powerless.
To reconnect with what matters...each other.
🌀 These Gatherings Are:
A space to come together, get real, and figure out what the heck is going on right here in our own backyard. We pick a topic that matters (education, climate, the economy - stuff that actually affects our lives) and talk about what’s happening locally.
We hear from people doing the work, get the inside scoop, and figure out how we can pitch in. It’s not just another meeting. It’s a chance to connect, take action, and support each other. We also bring in creativity like art, movement, music or whatever helps us process big stuff and imagine new ways forward. Because sometimes paint and laughter say what words can’t.
Come curious. Leave connected. Let’s make change feel human.
✨ Nervous System Support Learn simple, body-based practices you can use anytime to calm anxiety and regulate your energy.
💬 A Caring Community You’re not alone. These gatherings connect you with others who genuinely care and are ready to support, listen, and learn together.
🎨 Creative Expression Art is healing. Through collaborative art-making, writing, movement, and visual storytelling, we process what’s real and spark new ways of seeing and being.
📦 Resources That Matter Walk away with practical tools and next steps that help you integrate what you’ve experienced into daily life.
🌍 Purpose-Driven Action We don’t just talk, we do. Each gathering includes ways to take action through local service projects or small, sustainable steps that make a real difference. 🎉 Joy That Fuels Us Joy isn’t a luxury, it’s a life force. Through laughter, music, movement, and genuine connection, we create moments that lift our spirits and remind us why the work, and the hope, is worth it.
🔒 Invite-Only (For Now) We’re starting small and intentional, these gatherings are invite-only as we build a strong foundation of trust and connection.
📅 Monthly Meetups We’ll gather for 90 minutes each month. The exact date will be decided at our first meeting, but we’ll send out all the details ahead of time, including any location changes. The first meeting will be on May 28th from 6pm - 7:30pm
Bring your questions, your ideas, and your curiosity - this is a space shaped by all of us. ✅ Ready to Join Us?
We don’t come together to fix everything overnight. We come together so we don’t lose ourselves trying.
These gatherings are about reclaiming our power, rebuilding our communities, and creating the change we need, together. WTF is happening? Let’s find out together.
This local effort is led by a MomsRising Beacon of Hope leader, grounded in the belief that real change happens when we come together, get informed, and take action.
Many of our gatherings will be family-friendly, featuring a special craft table where kids can create cards for local heroes like librarians, teachers, Planned Parenthood staff, and more. Family-friendly events will be clearly noted, so you can bring your kiddos to join in the spirit of community and kindness.
