The Washtenaw chapter of NOW will be discussing Alice Walker's The Color Purple at their November meet up. Ypsilanti District Library-Whittaker at 5577 Whittaker Road in Ypsilanti from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Even if you don't have time to finish or even start the book, you are welcome to join them.

Join us for a discussion on escalating state repression and help us raise legal funds for our local friends and J20 defendants. Nearly 200 people (including 8 from Michigan and 4 from Ypsilanti) are facing 75 years in prison for protesting Trump on inauguration day. The only evidence against them was their mass arrest. They were never told to disperse, but were kettled, projectile pepper sprayed, and hoarded into police vans.

Come join a panel discussion and press conference with Rep. Debbie Dingell, State. Rep. Ronnie Peterson, and Councilman Peter Murdock on the potentially devastating cuts coming from Trump's proposed budget.

The proposed federal budget seeks to cut $700 billion from Medicaid. This will devastate seniors, disabled adults, children, and low income workers who depend on Medicaid.

64% of seniors in nursing homes rely on Medicaid

50% of all births in the US covered by Medicaid.

Thank you for your understanding of his absense. City Manager McClary will be there and able to help answer some questions as well. I look forward to seeing you at this event.*
