Friend —

This is the second edition of MDDSA’s “Bulletin Board,” a weekly email blast to keep members in touch with the Chapter events. 

METRO-DETROIT DSA BULLETIN BOARD—FEATURED ACTIONS

All members of the public are welcome to attend.

Liberation Mondays: “Defund the Police: Rebuilding Our Neighborhoods” — Mon. June 29 @ 7 p.m. (first in weekly series).  

• Join the MDDSA’s Black & Brown Alliance in collaboration with the Yusef Shakur, the General Builders Institute, and the Community Movement Builders of Detroit for a panel + Q&A called “Defund the Police: Rebuilding Our Neighborhoods.” 

This event is *in-person* at the Shed at Martz Park (11530 Flanders St, Detroit) and is a chance to discuss what defunding the police means in our own backyards.
