SUMMARY:Lowell Education Justice Alliance (LEJA) monthly meeting
DESCRIPTION:Lowell Education Justice Alliance (LEJA) is a grassroots group of parents\, educators\, students\, school staff\, and concerned community members committed to building a stronger and better PUBLIC school system driven by community voices. We believe that policies and decisions are strongest when they are informed by those who are most impacted. Teachers\, parents and students must have a critical role in creating the schools our communities deserve. At the core of this work is a belief that quality\, equitable public schools are essential to a healthy society and so we will resist efforts to privatize our public schools. All students deserve to learn in an environment that is equitable\, joyful\, educational and inspiring. We are committed to building a stronger and better public school system that is driven by community voices. Many of the individuals and groups involved came together to keep the cap on charter schools in Massachusetts. Following our success on ballot question 2 we continue to organize for public schools that serve the needs of all of our students\, no matter where they live. By engaging all communities across the Commonwealth and building power through unity\, our parent\, student and teacher driven coalition is committed to working with our elected and appointed officials and holding them accountable to the actual needs and desires of the communities served by Lowell Public Schools. The negative impacts of high stakes testing and the push to privatize our public education system are prime concerns of LEJA. Contact us at: lowelleducationjusticealliance@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Fall 2018 Community Swap
DESCRIPTION:Twice a year the Coalition for a Better Acre puts on a free Community Swap. It’s a rummage sale\, but everything is free! The idea is that you bring stuff you don’t need anymore and take stuff you can use. It’s a great excuse to clear out your closet\, or take home something fun. \nIt’s totally okay if you want to donate but not shop or the other way around. We’ll take most kinds of items that are still in useable shape\, but please don’t bring furniture or other large items that can’t easily be picked up by one person. If you want to donate stuff in advance\, or you have any questions\, you can contact aurora.erickson@cbacre.org or call (978) 452-7523 X808

SUMMARY:Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Our 9th annual vigil for International Transgender Day of Remembrance on Saturday\, November 17\, beginning at 6pm . The vigil is organized by the Welcoming Congregation Committee of the church\, as part of our commitment to being welcoming and inclusive by honoring the dates that are special to members of the LGBTQ+ community and advocating on issues important to them. \nThe event will begin at 6pm with a gathering\, a procession\, and a brief ceremony on the Chelmsford Common. \nThe second part of the lay-led vigil will meet in the Chapel (next to the parking lot). In a service that will include music\, the names of those killed around the world during the past year as a result of transphobia will be read. The vigil will end with words by Pat Taber and a brief period of fellowship. \nThere will be child care. \nPeople are welcome to come for either or both parts of the vigil. \nPat Taber is a transgender person who has been a political activist on this year’s campaign to preserve Massachusetts’ Transgender Public Accommodations protection Law. She is a veteran\, a proud father and a software engineer. She has a deep connection to the transgender community and strongly promotes trans inclusion into society at large. She views being transgender as a gift given to a select few as a part of God’s plan for humanity. She views the death of a transgender person to be a loss\, not just to the community\, but to a society that needs the unique gifts they bring. \nInternational Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is observed every November around the world. TDOR was first organized in 1999 by transgender woman and activist Gwendolyn Ann Smith\, marking the murder of Rita Hester the previous year in Allston\, Massachusetts. It has been held annually ever since in a growing number of locations to raise awareness about the continued violence that the transgender community suffers because of intolerance. While the official date is November 20\, observances are often scheduled on various dates within a week or so\, so that nearby events do not conflict with each other. \nThe church is located at 2 Westford Street\, on the Chelmsford Common.

SUMMARY:Circle Up Lowell
DESCRIPTION:Lowell-area organizations that promote restorative values in their work are joining together for a special night to discuss opportunities to deepen restorative practices in Lowell. Using the film Circle Up as a starting point for conversation\, this community event will facilitate discussions about restorative practices with opportunities to meet and learn about organizations in Lowell who share restorative values. Organizations will table and mingle with participants to share their efforts during networking time before and after the screening. Participating organizations will help facilitate small-circle discussions following the film to allow people to process the film as a community and imagine opportunities to strengthen restorative practices in Lowell. \nCircle Up is a documentary that shares the journey of a mother\, Janet Connors\, after the brutal slaying of her teenage son as she reaches out to her son’s killer to offer a chance at forgiveness. They team up with a group of mothers of murdered children to help young people in their community break the chain of violence and revenge. Circle Up is a call to action for reframing approaches to crime and punishment through the lens of restorative justice\, forgiveness\, and accountability. \nThis Lowell event seeks to strengthen community-based efforts for restorative practices and nurture vital conversations relating to the prevention of and response to harm within the Lowell community. Participating partners include organizations promoting restorative practices in their work with survivors and victims\, individuals recovering from addiction\, people returning from incarceration\, and diversion from incarceration. \nCome join the conversation and Circle Up Lowell! \nLearn more about the film Circle Up here: http://www.circleupdoc.com \nPlanning your night – schedule for the evening: \n5:00 – 5:30 Doors Open – Networking with Organizations promoting Restorative Practices + Food\n5:30 – 7:00 Opening Remarks & Film Screening – Circle Up\n7:00 – 7:20 Guest Speakers\n7:20 – 8:30 Circle Process – Small Group Reflections\n8:15 – 8:30 Closing Remarks\n8:30 – 9:00 After the Show – bonus time to speak with guest speakers for those who want to stay
