Extremists are counting on you to stay quiet. That’s because they know that you are the key to stopping them — all by talking to your own communities. You are the most effective messenger for why it’s so important to get involved.

Caring for Each Other: Mutual Aid & Protection
Mutual aid is about coming together to meet immediate needs while working to create long-term change that benefits everyone. From life-saving assistance to simply making someone’s day easier, every act has value.
Showing Up: Protests, Boycotts, & Beyond
We can’t let loud extremists make it seem like they’re more powerful than they are. Small actions often add up to a big impact, and sometimes, when we generate just a little bit of friction, it’s enough to slow down the extremist agenda.
Taking Back Power: Elections & Advocacy
Want to keep your community safe from misguided decisions made in Washington? Elect responsible local leaders. It’s our responsibility to make our voices heard by telling them what issues matter to us.
Growing Your TroubleNation Group
Make an investment in outreach. Identify opportunities, both online and offline, to engage with people beyond your group and invite them to join you. New members bring fresh perspectives and new ideas.
Sustaining Your TroubleNation Group
All relationships require maintenance. A strong community takes time to nurture itself. Identify the things that help your members replenish their energy and feed their spirits. As the saying goes, “You can’t pour from an empty cup.”
Starting Your TroubleNation Group
When your group first forms, take some time to get to know each other – never underestimate the power of building relationships, creating connections, and establishing trust. These will be essential in the work to come.
Building Your Community
Connection is at the heart of organizing. Extremists want us to feel isolated and alone — but when we come together, we’re unstoppable. Your group can provide a support network of hope and encouragement.
Okay But Why Is Social Security at Risk?
Social Security has been around for nearly a hundred years, and has been life-saving for many Americans. It provides retirement benefits to elderly Americans, unemployment benefits when people lose their jobs, and provides aid to families and people with disabilities. Those are all good things, right? So why would anyone want to get rid of it?
Okay, But Why Are Eggs Still So Expensive?
Have you been wondering why eggs – and pretty much everything else – is so expensive lately? Us too. So we decided to dig into it. It turns out, it’s not all due to the avian flu. And at the same time that prices are at an all time high, the government is cutting funding to critical programs that help families put food on the table.
