Dear all,

Please join us *tomorrow, Thursday (6/18) at 7p*, for the monthly meeting
of Berkshires DSA. Among other topics, we will be discussing next steps in
our efforts to motivate Mayor Tyer and the Pittsfield City Council to
reorient their budget priorities to truly serve the public, especially
Black and Brown communities. *We will be joined by City Councilor Helen
Moon, as well as Dubois Thomas and Chad Robertson from the NAACP*.

In addition, we will discuss an exciting initiative for a Just Green
Stimulus for Massachusetts

John Prusinski has been leading up this work and will say a few words about
it.

Here's the Zoom link <[link removed]> for the meeting,
and password (C2VaVVpZ). We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

In solidarity,
Sid

(Apologies if you're receiving this twice -- still working out some details
with the tech over here!)
