What is Peaceful Patriots? 

We are a non-partisan, action based group with a high interest in peaceful gatherings, flexing our democratic muscle by practicing our First Amendment right.

  • Peaceful Patriots is an anti authoritarian/anti fascist and pro democracy organization.

    • We are a local, grassroots group; we are not a non-profit organization.

  • We are not affiliated with any political party. 

    • Any party is welcome: Republican, Democrat, Independent, or Third Party

  • Organization Breakdown

    • Danny is the found and leader.

    • Though there is no formal board or voting process for the group, our ABC Cafe Meetings offer time for interested members and the public to voice their opinions and give feedback in person. 

      • Highly active members/volunteers are considered to be the “core group” of Peaceful Patriots; these members often will collaborate with the leader and come to agreements about calls to action or other decisions.

    • Decisions are made through thoughtful proposals, previous and current collaborations and input, input during rallies or through online communications, and a general consensus during ABC Cafe meetings.

      • There is no time or medium constraint to voice one’s opinion.

Mission and Goal

To spread awareness to the public and representatives that our voices matter at a local, state, and national level, and to provide a venue for the Fox Valley and NE WI to rally

  • Peaceful Patriots’ goal is to have as many people in attendance as possible during our events. 

    • If there are few, we have succeeded. 

    • If there are many, we have succeeded.

Affiliations and Support

Peaceful Patriots will support and advertise for other groups, organizations, or events which align with our cause, mission, and goal.
