We are an all-volunteer, grassroots community group raising awareness and taking action to end human trafficking not only in the state of Virginia, but around the world. We learned that slavery was abolished in our country in 1865 with the 13th Amendment to our constitution, and around the globe by the turn of the 20th century.  Sadly, slavery is not only alive, but thriving in our world today including our own neighborhoods.  Human trafficking is the term used today to describe the modern day s …

Join this group if you love our Constitution and Bill of Rights and are sick of politics as usual. This group will provide the opportunity for Constitutional Liberty supporters to meet, strategize, and spread the word about our continued campaign to restore Liberty. It should also be a venue for discussing current events and political issues from a paleoconservative/ constitutionalist/ libertarian point of view. Constitutional liberty supporters from all political backgrounds are welcome!

The group will work to identify issues related to human trafficking in Maryland along with State government officials and other local groups to eradicate this blight in our community. Interested persons should consider joining.

I'm starting this group because I would like to meet up with a group of good peeps on a regular basis to discuss the issues of the day like health care reform, recycling (just kidding), the bailouts, guns and gun policy, hunting, VA politics, and the answers to questions like, "Why are we here?" over massive quantities of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Guinness:) Actually, just kidding. I don't personally want to get hammered, but a beer or two over some good political and philosophical discussion w …

Picture it - I’m driving down the street and almost have an accident because I saw three girls outside jumping Double Dutch. I didn’t know if I was amazed that there were girls actually outside playing or if I was excited to see them jumping Double Dutch. Have you ever passed a game of Double Dutch and wanted to ask for a jump? Did you jump when you were younger and would like to do it again? Do you want to have fun while exercising and not think of it as a workout? Need to lose that tummy and g …

This group is for any young couple interested in hanging out with other couples who are Fun, Kind, Outgoing and Open-Minded. My husband and I decided to start our own group after trying out many other meet-up groups and leaving each disappointed. Our goal is to meet other great couples and make REAL lasting friendships, not just networking (like those "other groups" do). There was an article in a recent Washingtonian that stated that married couples who had many couple friends reported having a …

Are you sick of partisanship? Have you felt powerless to do anything about it? Let’s change that! I believe, collectively, we can make a difference. We can come together as Americans to solve or at least constructively engage in the enormous difficulties we face globally and as a nation. I have a simple idea. It’s not new, but it may not have been used precisely in this way before. Practically all religious denominations talk about it in one way or another; it is the power of the intentional pra …

This group is for people interested in deeper connections with the world, with each other, and with themselves.  It is a sharing and discussion group.  Right now, I plan to show a video and have an open discussion afterwards.  I'm sure other ideas will develop. Still waters run deep.  A shallow river babbles continuously, creating sounds that gently lull us to sleep.  A deep river has a surface that appears to be still, yet has currents far beneath - not easily seen, and yet powerful. Daring to …
