Weekly Update
5/14/18
It’s time for our monthly meeting again! We’re getting together on Wednesday evening at 7:00. Our focus this month will be on poverty and economic inequality, and we have a couple of experts joining us for the discussion. First, we’ll hear from journalist and author Sasha Abramsky, who has written about poverty in America. Next we’ll be joined by representatives from The Poor People’s Campaign, an effort to redefine morality and shine a light on economic injustice and racism that is based on the work of Martin Luther King.
As usual, we’re gathering in Room 10 at Sierra2 Community Center, 2791 24th Street. Hope you can join us! Our meetings are always held on the third Wednesday of every month. Postcard Party Next Tuesday (May 22nd), we’re having a postcard party at the Arcade Library. We have the postcards, we just need you! Join us to write cards reminding Democrats to vote in the upcoming Congressional elections. Every little bit helps in the fight to take back Congress. This event starts at 7:00 at the Arcade Library, 2443 Marconi Avenue. Call Our Representatives! Paul Ryan may be retiring, but don’t think for a moment that he’s finished with trying to make poor people’s lives harder. Congress is debating the Farm Bill, and Ryan and his ilk are using this as an excuse to slash food stamps and impose draconian “work requirements” that will withhold assistance from of hungry families across America. Call your Members of Congress this week and make sure they will NOT vote to support any Farm bill that includes cuts to food stamps or the Republicans’ “Welfare Reform” scam. Local MOC phone numbers: Rep. Doris Matsui: (916) 698-5600 State Bill Updates SB 822, The Net Neutrality bill that received overwhelming support from Indivisible Sacramento’s members, is still chugging along. It is expected to pass out of the Appropriations Committee before the end of this month. For details on all the State bills we are supporting and, well, for basically any information you could possibly want about anything we’re doing, remember to visit our website often: IndivisibleSacramento.com. Donations Finally, if you have a little money to spare for Indivisible Sacramento, we have an online donation site now through Act Blue. Your contributions will help us pay for meeting rooms, supplies, and events such as voter registration and canvassing. A portion will also go toward Indivisible on the national level. A heartfelt thank you to all who have donated so far! |
