Mary Hooks is a great friend - if you can make it to Centennial to hear her from 12-2, it's definitely worth it.

We want to also encourage you to come to the Rayshard Brooks Peace Center on University Avenue, it's having something like... a grand reopening. Our contacts close to the situation want as big a turnout as possible, so we're encouraging you to come and bring somebody with you if you can.

This is coming together really quickly, as these things often do.

Rainbow Roses...

MADSA's LGBTQ+ caucus is back and in style. It's an affirming space for members to educate themselves on intersectional queer experience while building a strong queer socialist community and practicing community care.  

We're developing a reading group with weekly virtual meetings, and we'll also promote and support both internal and external direct-action efforts that center the radical anti-state violence roots of the LGBTQ+ movement.

This first meeting will be Thursday, July 9th at 7PM.

FUNDING AFROSOCIALIST EVENTS & PROMOTIONS:

If you personally think it's cool that people of color in the chapter are organizing explicitly socialist responses to our current crisis - and leading a vocal alternative to the limp reforms being offered by the Mayor's office - help us buy equipment and materials so we can spread the word.

We came pretty close on our $600 goal - and we're already organizing a new event to reimagine police safety with Community Movement Builders and Science for the People.

Would you like to put us over the top?

We're a socialist organization that's operating during the crisis of the century - we don't like to spend a lot of money.

The more y'all support us, the more we know to be aggressive in meeting this moment.

Our last Defund and Abolish event went smoothly and got huge attendance - the activist community knows we know how to lead...

Now we want people to know we can help. With a little more we can buy our own audio equipment so Black organizers in town can come to us for support. Sound good?

Slack Thoughts

Right now, Slack is the best way to stack up to date with what the chapter is doing in an up to the minute fashion - we're one of the busiest groups we can think of and there's a lot to get into. We are definitely looking into diversifying our communications so you can stay in the loop more via email or text message or Facebook or wherever you currently are.
