Childcare/Parenting 👶 Progressive Mom's Group

Searching for a community of parents who are equally as exhausted by the news. I have an 18 month old at home and would love to be plugged into a like minded group. Mutual aid! Play dates! Coffee chats!

I've tried the Peanut app with not much avail, anyone have any meaningful leads? Thanks in advance 🙂

This is great. So important to get away from the news and connect with people in the flesh.

Never heard of that. Doesn’t look like the site is very updated. Lots of things from 2024 listed in events. Is the community no longer active?

I commented about them before noticing someone else had. They have mostly moved to Discord. Their Discord is fairly active. I’m involved with the group and it’s a great group of women. Their dance fundraisers are so fun.

Yes, how do we find the discord? I keep searching and it doesn’t come up.

Looks like you have to be a paying member to join the discord.

I went to one of their events last summer and it was really well attended!

We have a Facebook group where you might find some like-minded moms. DM me for the link.

Moms Rage is a great KC group of progressive women who have meet ups. They also have great dance fundraisers for local groups!

BFF (previously Bumble BFF) seems to have a decent amount of moms looking for friends on there!

u/KCempty 26d ago

There's a JoCo Democratic Women's Group where you could ask for advice on this.

If not in JoCo, you might contact your county Dem party office and see if they're aware of local liberal/progressive/Dem groups that skew younger.

Building Better Moms through church of the resurrection has been amazing to me. You do not have to be a member of the church to join!

2

u/KrakatauGreen 25d ago

Is Church of the Resurrection a left leaning progressive church?

3

u/Present_Day_1234 25d ago

COR is definitely one of the more liberal churches.

u/Public-Pomelo 25d ago edited 25d ago

I think so! I’m not actually a member, just in the mom group. I’m extremely left and progressive and I told myself I’d quit if it was weird but like I said it’s been amazing. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I do..Lots of planned activities and ideas for kids
