The Downtown Nasty Women Social Group is a grassroots community of activists working together to make positive change in people’s every day lives.
We believe that the strongest America is one that values the freedom, equality, and safety of each individual regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, ethnicity, or immigration status.
We see the need and opportunity to help shape government at the local and national level with those who are aligned with our progressive values.
Affect our future in areas such as education, healthcare, voting rights, reproductive rights, safe gun laws, and climate policy.

Welcome to our blog! We are the Downtown Nasty Women Social Group, part of the Resistance that formed in the aftermath of the 2016 Presidential Election.
Our partnership with The States Project gives us control and transparency over how our money is allocated, gives us access to their vast amounts of research and experience in local elections, and allows us to focus on elections in which we can make a tangible difference.
We will continue to raise money for this important and successful work each year. Our goal for 2023 is to raise $100,000 in early money for the 2024 elections. We are committed to shifting the balance of power in the Michigan state legislature, as well as keeping Nevada a blue state. Early money is a crucial element to electoral success.
Join us!
We started our Giving Circle in 2018 to raise money to support state-level elections.
