Detroit

It’s time to stop Trumpcare and we have a plan.

The GOP decided not to vote this Thursday on their version of Trumpcare but the fight has just begun!

Ann Arbor Indivisible is following the guidance of Indivisible National and visiting our Senator’s office before the vote on the disastrous and cruel Republican healthcare bill known as Trumpcare.

This is event is co-sponsored by Ann Arbor Indivisible, Michigan United, Michigan For Revolution, Ann Arbor for Revolution, and the Huron Valley Democratic Socialists.

This month we learn about our current opportunities in the field, and how to canvass for our causes. We will raise money to donate to a local org fighting the good fight, will do an action on site, and share out our work.

As always, there will be food, good people, hugs and love.

RSVP here and be on the lookout for our special speakers! PS: They're going to be great.

**FREE FILM SCREENING**

Want to see the new National Geographic climate change documentary From The Ashes before it is released? The Sierra Club and Citizen’s Climate Lobby are sponsoring a special, free pre-screening at the Detroit Public Library.

On Thursday, June 1st, Randolph Davison, a 48-year old African American man, was viciously beaten and stabbed by two white men shouting using racial slurs. The attack occurred midday in Detroit's Eastern Market while Davison sat on a bench at the corner of Russell and Alfred streets.
Luckily, Davison survived. However, the attack is another example of the rising tide of white supremacist terror in the United States, and a case of unprovoked violence against the homeless.

Designated representatives of local peace groups discuss peace issues. Also, to share announcements of upcoming events.

Agenda TBD:

-- Federal Budget
