About Us
The Raging Grannies and Friends of Oak Park began as a response to the despair the founder, Mary Nelson, felt when Trump was elected president in November 2024. After the January 2025 inauguration, she could no longer pretend Trump was not president of the United States. After a few months of cowering in a fetal position on the sofa, Mary realized that denial was not going to work. She needed to find a way to resist. Mary noticed Raging Grannies groups performing protest songs on Instagram and thought, “I can start a Gaggle where I live!” Together with Anne, Mary’s wife, and good friend Mary Anne, the Oak Park Gaggle was formed in May, 2025. Membership is open to all “women of a certain age” and their friends—anyone who wants to fight for American democracy. Our goal is twofold: to peacefully protest and resist the current regime and work to help rebuild American democracy so that ALL citizens and future generations can flourish. Please join us if our goal rings true for you. Currently we are 40+ strong and happy to sing anywhere we are invited!
