We will be holding our first (soon to be) Grand Rapids DSA chapter meeting in less than two weeks at Wealthy Theatre Front Studio!

There will be a brief introduction as to what DSA is and stands for as well as an intro of the Organizing Committee followed by a run down of the issues we want to work on, possible committee determinations, discussions about local and statewide elections and more!

Coby only wants one thing for his birthday: an end to gerrymandering. If you want the same thing, you're invited to his birthday party, raising support for the Voters Not Politicians campaign.

VNP will be collecting signatures in all 83 counties of Michigan, but that takes a lot of people and money, especially for an all-volunteer organization. Printing petitions, making clipboards, buying pens, shipping everything- it's an expensive endeavor, and we need your help to make it successful.

Join us for a meeting of the Grand Rapids Area Young Democrats! We'll discuss how we can make the Democratic Party more progressive, support progressive millennials running for office, and organize for justice. Hope to see you there!

Let's tell Enbridge, the State of Michigan, and the City of Grand Rapids that our mission is decommission - SHUT DOWN LINE 5!

We learned at our 7/26 rally that 70% of Michiganders don't know what Enbridge Line 5 is. Are you in the 70%?

Do you feel like Republican's aren't listening to you? That no matter how many times you call or write, they blindly put party over country and vote to gut pre-existing conditions, raise premiums and throw over 23 million people off of Medicaid? Well this is the town hall for you! Come out to make you voice heard, ask your elected officials questions directly and find out how we can set up a state-level defense right here in Michigan.

We're back for One Michigan Alliance's (OMA) fourth Community Canvass, this time on a weekday -- Thursday, July 20th from 3:00 pm until 8:00 pm. We'll train and stage at 3:00 pm and 5:30 pm at 1551 Kalamazoo Ave SE. We'll have everything ready for you when you get here: canvass brochures, lists of doors to knock, maps, pens, water, etc. Your total time commitment will be just about 2-3 hours and we'll help you every step of the way.

*** VENUE CHANGE - THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD AT CALDER PLAZA***

Come to Calder Plaza on July 26th to learn about Enbridge's Line 5, the 64 year old twin oil pipelines running underneath the Straits of Mackinac that were only projected to have a 50 year lifetime, and yet they still have oil flowing through them. We will have knowledgeable speakers sharing information about this oil line, why it is so dangerous for our ecosystem and economy, and what you can do to help.

Please bring signs and friends to help raise awareness of this threat to the Great Lakes!

Join the ACLU of Michigan's Western Michigan Local Unit for our monthly Grand Rapids meeting to meet, discuss, and fight for justice together.

Special guest, Shelli Weisberg (ACLU of Michigan Political Director), will be attending.
