Hi hey hello!

Apologies for the last-minute nature of this email. This is just a heads up about several upcoming meetings. Tonight at 7 we have the Bread and Roses meeting. Tomorrow, Thursday, January 21 we have the Berkshire DSA monthly meeting at 7PM. Additionally, we're excited to invite members to join in with @BostonDSA 's Take Back the Grid meeting tonight, Wednesday January 20 from 7:00-9:00 pm. They have a packed agenda this week.

Also also, the Boston DSA Ecosocialism working group is hosting a two-part seminar on the intersection of COVID, utility debt relief, and energy democracy. I'm excited to learn more about this campaign and meet the comrades involved. The event info is below. Hope to see you there!

We will discuss how private utility corporations profit while harming Massachusetts residents, and how public utilities are the solution. Join us to learn how you can help democratize, decarbonize, decommodify, and decolonize our energy system.
