Allies, please join us for an important training about Movimiento Cosecha (Harvest Movement), and learn how to get more engaged with the movement.

We are working towards permanent protection, dignity and respect for all immigrants and there’s room for you.

We welcome all to this training, and look forward to seeing what you have to bring to the group - whether you’re an artist, photographer, great at fundraising, have street medic skills, are social media savvy, or even if you want to learn new skills.

Let's get together before the Kent Dems Meeting on July 11th, and kick around some ideas as to how to move this party to the left. Let's face it, nothing new is happening, they're pushing the usual candidates to the forefront and leaving progressive candidates behind AGAIN. The Democratic Party is the party of the people and we must take it back. Right now we have about 20 active members, and we need to increase those numbers drastically. Supreme Court Justice Kennedy is retiring and things are going to get worse fast.

Learn about possible Zoning Ordinance changes.
This meeting is intended to provide information and an opportunity for discussion about potential Ordinance updates in advance of a City Commission public hearing scheduled for July 10.

Agenda
6 p.m. - Welcome
6:05 p.m. - Background, data, petition, legislation, research
6:30 p.m. - Proposed ordinance
7:15 p.m. - Process/Next Steps

All are welcome to attend.

Come join the best progressive group around, as we make plans to change the world one city at a time. Get involved in community projects, elections, voter registration and spreading information about our progressive candidates.

FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER and not indefinitely detained miles apart. Tell the Trump Administration to stop traumatizing, criminalizing and dehumanizing immigrants, to reunite the families seeking asylum and create just and viable pathways for people fleeing violence, poverty and danger to find safety, security and respect on American soil.

Come meet and talk with our Michigan Legislature candidates. At this FREE, non-partisan forum, ask about state and local environmental issues that matter to you.
