Hello friends!
Our HUMANs December Solidarity Summit is coming right up - this Saturday and Sunday Dec. 14-15. In case you don't already know, the HUMANs are the global cooperative network that we helped to instigate, and are still HQ for.
We'll be hosting from our home base at the Social Justice Center conference room! Join us in person if you like, beginning 1/2 hour before the summit starts each day.
Bring a snack or drink to share if you like, or just come and enjoy. More summit details below, but first -
Mutual Aid Supper Club #3 is Monday December 16, 3:30-6:30pm at the WilMar Center 953 Jenifer.
Come for part or all of it! You don't have to cook to eat, you're more than welcome to just drop in for food.
3:30-4: Bring ingredients if you have some. We'll make a Stone Soup-style menu
4-5: Some of us will cook, others are welcome to just chat or to participate in a Peace Practice demo, where we show how we do our group learning journey toward making peaceful communities
5-6: Eat together, chat
6-6:30: Clean up, pack up leftover food
