The City of Ann Arbor mayor's office is hosting the 18th annual Mayor's Green Fair on Main Street Friday, June 8, 2018 from 6–9 p.m. to celebrate our community's environmental leadership as exhibited by citizens, nonprofits, government and businesses. Ann Arbor's downtown Main Street will be closed to through traffic between Huron and William streets, remaining open for pedestrians, Green Fair guests and displays of environmental information, "green" products, live music and general enjoyment of the urban outdoor environment.

The Ann Arbor Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People -NAACP- held it first Juneteenth Celebration in 1994. The branch began this celebration at the urging of Rev. Herbert Lowe, then pastor of the Church of the Good Shepard in Ann Arbor. The idea was to have a community event celebrated in Ann Arbor that was a joyful time in the life of African Americans. Wheeler Park, formerly Summit Park was chosen as the site for this celebration because it had been the center of an African American neighborhood in Ann Arbor.

The Inaugural Juneteenth Festival will be held Saturday, June 16, 2018, in Brush Park on Winder St. Between Brush and John R (a block from LCA).

Demonstrate at the GM building on June 11th 4 pm and
8 am at the Renaissance Center at the GM shareholders meeting.

* ASOTRECOL is an association of injured workers from the General Motors assembly plant in Colombia who have occupied a tent since Aug. 2011 in front of the U.S. Embassy in protest of their illegal firings.

Why do GM workers continue to be injured
on the job? And then fired?
