Questions: What is the history and role of political movements in making social change possible?

What is the relationship between movements (or issue activism) and electoral campaigns, candidates, and legislation?

About the speakers:

Andrea Pierce:

A registered member of Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians and founding Chair of the brand new Anishinabek Caucus of MDP. She will focus on the movement to shut down Enbridge Line 5 and how this impacts Michigan politics.

Mark Muhich:

The Trump Administration has proposed to replace the 2015 Clean Water Rule with a rule that would strip protections from nearly 20% of the nations streams and over 50% of the nation's wetlands. This is the most drastic attack on clean water that we have seen in decades. The EPA has given us only 60 days to submit public comments telling them what we think of this rule.

In 2018, Michigan voters and Voters Not Politicians made history by passing a redistricting reform amendment with 61% of the vote to end gerrymandering.

Join Voters Not Politicians at a Democracy Reform Town Hall to learn more about Michigan’s new redistricting process and how you can participate. The group will also discuss other critical democracy reform issues to strengthen the democratic process through citizen action in Michigan. We'll be in the Crane Liberal Arts Building, room 275.

A panel of local experts will talk about the role of police around the city
and on campus.

Over 70 individuals representing a variety of organizations and communities attended our first meeting in December to discuss affordable housing needs and advocacy in Washtenaw County. At this upcoming meeting, we'll discuss what sort of convening space we would like to create in order to better communicate and coordinate our efforts, with the goal of gradually creating structures that will support our objectives.

Come out to Canterbury House and share your chapter campaign proposal ideas and talk with other people about their ideas! This is a great opportunity for collaboration.

And there will be free food!

At our next chapter meeting on March 31st, people will have the opportunity to present their proposal ideas for discussion and voting on prioritization.

Child watch services will be provided! The bathroom is gender neutral, and there is ramp access on the side of the building.

Hey! Remember when it wasn't winter forever and we hung out sometimes? Let's do that again! Arbormoon is kindly loaning us their big awesome meeting room; bring some lunch and let's hang out, eat and reconnect.
