## Resource

In a national climate where political divides feel impossible to bridge, something different is happening in Shelton. The Mason County Peacemakers — six women from the Mason County Republican Women's Club and six from the Mason County Democrat Women — have been meeting since last fall to do one thing: get community work done together. In this conversation, Jeff Slakey sits down with four of them at The Alibi Room at Wild Irish for a wide-ranging conversation about the group's origins, the blood drive that drew 33 pints on its first run, their partnership with the local Veterans Stand Down, a current food drive for Choice and CEDAR High Schools, and a joint picnic planned for August 16. You'll also hear the line that may stick with you longer than any of it — Jane's reminder, by way of a Native American chief, that "the right wing and the left wing are attached to the same bird, and it takes both for the eagle to soar." This is what grassroots, across-the-aisle community looks like. Quiet. Practical. And — in 2026 — quietly radical.
