Join Voters Not Politician's "Dial for Democracy" List!
Activists across the political spectrum can all agree that picking up the phone and calling your elected officials is the most effective way to make your voice heard. In fact, many elected officials and their staff members have stated that a phone call from a constituent holds more weight than an email, tweet, or a fax. By joining VNP's "Dial for Democracy" list, you will receive exclusive alerts when it's time to call your lawmakers on legislation or decisions that impact Michigan's democracy. These alerts will contain info and tips to help you have an easy and productive call to your local lawmaker! If you aren't receiving exclusive Dial for Democracy alerts yet, sign up here. You'll receive alerts when critical legislation is introduced along with your state legislators' contact information and a script to use during your call. If you are interested in becoming an election worker in the Mt. Pleasant area, fill out the application and submit it to the appropriate location. At this time, the City of Mt. Pleasant has enough election workers, but Union Township and the surrounding townships do not. See Norma Bailey for further information (baile1nj@cmich.edu).
Nine of us carpooled to Lansing on Saturday, March 2, to participate in the Poor People’s Campaign Moral March. We listened to a number of motivating speeches and sang in solidarity, including “Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around!”
This year, your Social Justice Coordinating Team (SJCT) is asking each of us individually to set an intention – and follow through! – to involve ourselves more and/or to learn more about our neighbors and issues. This Sunday we are kicking off our third “season” for March and April, commemorating Women’s History Month and Earth Day/Environmental issues.
As a team, we’ve researched books, children’s books, movies, organizations, podcasts, etc., about Women’s History and Earth Day/Environment so that you would have a variety of intentions to choose from – read a book, watch a movie, peruse a website, for example. Our two pages of ideas are below, and we’ll have hard copies available on Sunday. We encourage each of you to make an intention and then, preferably, make it public by writing it on our Intention Posters in the Fellowship Hall. Throughout this “season,” we will hopefully be able to share what each of us is accomplishing to meet our intention! Please join in our efforts!
