Dear Friends,
What a wonderful Families Belong Together Rally & March we had last Saturday! Many thanks to all who supported and participated. An estimated 1,500-2,500 came out, because the City of Good Neighbors will stand up for Humanity over Oppression every time! Si, se puede!
If you want to sign a petition in support, you could sign this one calling on governors to refuse to send the National Guard to militarize the Mexican border.. at https://petitions.moveon.org/sign/dont-let-your-governor.
And as a next step, please plan to join us for the Celebration For Change: a Poor People’s Campaign Event Thurs, July 12, 5:30 til 7:30pm at MLK Park. We’ll celebrate the 40 Days of Action and the many more to come as we #UnitetheStruggles. Music will include a Community Jam Sessions with Ismail & Co, and with the Women’s Resistance Revival Chorus; food (hot dogs and potluck); and great information and inspiration from supporting groups. Voter registration also included, and our #LoveisLove signs will also be on hand as membership gifts.
At the Celebration For Change, we’re excited that you will also meet our new Assistant Director, Gabrie’l Atchison – a longtime activist and organizer. We are thrilled to have her on board! If you’re associated with a group that wants to cosponsor, that means to publicize and table, just let us know at 332-3904, silverlight143@ymail.com or staceysm@buffalo.edu. You can also join us for a planning meeting on Thursday, July 5, 3:15, at the WNYPC, NRC Bldg, 1272Delaware Ave, Buffalo (entrance & pkg round back behind building). #UnitetheStruggles.
