Hey Comrades!

 

Thanks to all those who came out to our August Brake Light Clinic! We have lots of opportunities to get involved this week! Here's what's in this week's update:

  • Recap: Brake Light Clinic & Health Fair
  • Upcoming Events: General Meeting & More!
  • Get Involved: Voter Guide & More!

We had a great day at our last brake light clinic and health fair. We changed brake lights in 10 cars. We had 16 volunteers and dozens of visitors. We distributed 80 hot meals and a lot of water.

 

In addition to promoting socialism and mutual aid, we had support from several partner organizations and campaigns: Devin Davis for Congress, Vera and the Big Easy Budget survey, Make Entergy Pay, Below Sea Level Aid, and VOTE.
