Detroit

Come make cards for queer incarcerated people! Pot-luck style food, though there will definitely be vegan options provided! Premade fill-in-the-blank card options available if you're nervous or don't know what to say.

Lack of affordable housing, contaminated water in our schools, unreliable public transportation, lack of access to HIV/AIDS medications, mental health facilities closings and lack of stable jobs. These are a few of many resources Detroiters are denied, because Duggan and Detroit city government has determined that a large portion of our budget should go towards hyper surveillance, facial recognition technology and over-policing in our neighborhoods in effort to stop crime.

The Detroit Light Brigade will be joining Lights 4 Liberty Detroit and thousands across the nation in demanding the US #CloseTheCamps and reunite families at the border. Please invite your friends and family to come and hold a letter. We must stand unified in this moment!

The Lights 4 Liberty event starts at 6pm. Please sign in and share widely! https://www.facebook.com/events/471612146748761/

This conversation will unbox the invention of homosexuality, and what it means to be gay in a post colonial society. Gay culture has hierarchies, power and privilege based on race, class, and gender expression that should not go checked.

We’ll explore heteronormativity and the rigid lines its drawn for homosexuality. Narratives that majority cultures inscribe and gay culture reinforces. What it means to be Queer and its relationship to homosexuality.

Refreshments and snacks will be provided.

Detroit DSA is hitting the pavement in Corktown to talk to voters about Bernie Sanders -- and why he's our best bet for taking on the fossil fuel industry and achieving a Green New Deal. We'll also be inviting folks to the Mass Action at the Democratic Debates happening in Detroit on July 30-31.
