Join the Raging Grannies
If you're a woman of a certain age with a sense of humor and a sense of outrage, we've been waiting for you.
No grandchildren required
"Granny" is a state of mind. You don't need grandchildren, and you don't even need children. You need to care about the world they're inheriting, and be willing to put on a flowered hat and sing about it where people can hear you.
Most gaggles set 50 as the floor, and most limit membership to women. There's real power in subverting the stereotype of the quiet, harmless grandmother, and that's a big part of why we're effective. Every gaggle sets its own rules, so ask the one near you.
There are no dues, no bylaws, and no central committee to approve you. Each gaggle is autonomous. If they'll have you and you'll have them, you're a Raging Granny.
Here's how
Find your gaggle
There are 60+ gaggles across North America and beyond. Check the map, find the one nearest you, and reach out through their page. Most gaggles welcome a curious newcomer at a rehearsal before anyone mentions commitment.
No gaggle nearby? Start one.
All it takes is a few good women of that certain age, a shared sense of outrage, and the willingness to sing about it in public. Our starter kit covers the rest: picking your issues, writing your first song, finding your granny garb.
Not sure yet? Ask us anything.
Wondering whether you're granny enough, what rehearsals look like, or how the hats work? We have answers, and an inbox read by an actual granny.
Rehearsals, rallies, and rage
Most gaggles meet regularly to rehearse and plan actions. Decisions happen by consensus, songs get written around kitchen tables, and then everyone shows up somewhere public and sings truth to power in three-part near-harmony. Nobody will audition you. Enthusiasm counts for more than pitch.
Want a taste first? Browse the Song Library and imagine yourself singing one on a street corner. If that thought makes you grin, you already know.
