SUMMARY:MVP Leadership Training to Take
DESCRIPTION:Last January\, MVP leaders had their first-ever Executive Council retreat as a way to bond and to share a vision for what would become MVP’s Year Of Action. The event including a training by Kevin Odell\, the InterValley Project’s director of development\, as well as sessions led by the organizing staff. In evaluating the retreat\, MVP leaders felt it was a good way to come together after the holiday season and to plan strategies and tactics needed for a successful year. The organizing staff noted the feedback and wanted to find a way to make the next year’s retreat even more meaningful. \nWith that idea in mind\, MVP leaders have planned a full-day leadership training for Saturday\, January 19th. This event will run from 9:30 – 4:30and will include snacks and lunch\, provided by MVP. In addition to our Executive Council members\, MVP is inviting all our leaders who would like to share their vision for MVP in 2019 to attend.The training will be divided up into a morning and afternoon session with the morning focusing on the theory and practice of organizing while the afternoon will focus on fundraising tactics and strategies. Leading the morning session will again be Kevin Odell along with Luke Hill of the InterValley Project and leading the afternoon session will be Kathy Sharkey of the Peace Development Fund. By the end\, MVP’s core team of leaders will have a plan in place to make 2019 another strong year for social justice work in the Merrimack Valley. \nIf you would like to attend the event and have not already expressed interest to an organizer\, please email Trevor LaFauci at TrevorLaFauciMVP@gmail.com to be added to our roster so we can coordinate food and transportation for all attendees.

SUMMARY:New Americans Voter Registration Drive
DESCRIPTION:One of the best parts of becoming a U.S. citizen is being able to vote. So every time that newly naturalized U.S. citizens are sworn in at the Lowell Auditorium\, we greet them at the door and invite them to register to vote right there. Join our next voter registration drive and help us ensure that all U.S. citizens make their voices heard – whether they’re citizens by birth\, or by choice. \nSchedule (all times are approximate):\n9:00: Table setup begins in lobby\n10:00-11:45: Tabling in lobby to explain what we are doing and hand out voter registration forms\n11:45-12:45: Go inside the auditorium to watch the naturalization ceremony (if you want)\n12:45-1:30: Return to the lobby to collect forms from new citizens and sort them out for delivery/mailing to the town halls. \nParking fills up quickly because there are so many people attending the ceremony. The best place to park is probably Lower Locks Parking Garage on Warren St. (usually $10 event parking)\, then cross the covered bridge over to the auditorium. There is also metered street parking. \nNo prior experience necessary; we’ll train you! If you want to bring a group\, email jrivera@miracoalition.org.

SUMMARY:Safe Communities Act Lobby Day
DESCRIPTION:Over the past two years\, we’ve built a statewide movement to protect the rights and safety of all Massachusetts residents. We’ve passed trust and welcoming policies in dozens of communities. Now it’s time to ensure that everyone in our Commonwealth enjoys those protections. \nThe Safe Communities Act is back before the Mass. Legislature\, as SD.926 (Sen. Jamie Eldridge) and HD.1520 (Reps. Ruth Balser and Liz Miranda). It’s streamlined but has the same strong provisions to restore community trust and protect civil rights\, backed by a broad-based and diverse coalition. \nThe first step in our campaign is to recruit legislative cosponsors. On this lobby day\, with just two days to go before the Feb. 1 cosponsor deadline\, Safe Communities Coalition members will fan out across the State House\, visiting legislators to urge them to sign on and to fight to pass the Safe Communities Act in this session. \nLook up your legislators’ contact information to make advance appointments (preferred)\, and download our new factsheet to prepare for your visit and share a copy with legislative staff. Any questions\, please email us!

SUMMARY:Community Choice Aggregation and YOU!
DESCRIPTION:Can Lowell help protect the planet from global warming? Green energy is one important tool communities like Lowell can use to stop climate change. \nCommunity Choice Aggregation (CCA) is a program that allows local governments like Lowell to use their collective buying power to purchase electricity on behalf of the residents\, businesses\, and municipal accounts within their service territory and to specify how much “green” energy is part of that service. \nIn order to better understand exactly how CCA works\, what it means for Lowell and how it relates to the environment and global warming\, 350 Mass-Lowell will host a presentation by Carol Oldham\, Executive Director of Massachusetts Community Action Network\, “What is Community Choice Aggregation\, Why it is important and How we can make it better.” \nThis presentation is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Black Love Day
DESCRIPTION:Come and gather with us to celebrate Black Love Day! Tell us how you choose to love your partners\, friends\, and most of all yourself. \nBlack Love Day was founded in 1993 by Ayo Handy Kendi\, director of the African American Holiday Association. According to Kendi\, it is the third nationally observed black holiday – one of atonement\, reconciliation and celebration. Black Love Day is observed as a 24-hour demonstration of black love\, demonstrated through five specific acts: love towards the Creator\, for self\, for the family\, within the black community and for the black race.

SUMMARY:Lowell Naturalization Ceremony: Help Register New Citizens
DESCRIPTION:Come join the League of Women Voters (Greater Lowell & Haverhill Chapters) and help up to 1000 new American citizens register to vote. It’s a very rewarding experience! \nSchedule (all times are approximate):\n9:00: Table setup begins in lobby\n10:00-11:45: Tabling in lobby to explain what we are doing and hand out voter registration forms\n11:45-12:45: Go inside the auditorium to watch the naturalization ceremony (if you want)\n12:45-1:30: Return to the lobby to collect forms from new citizens and sort them out for delivery/mailing to the town halls. \nParking fills up quickly because there are so many people attending the ceremony. The best place to park is probably the Immaculate Conception Church parking lot\, or if that is unavailable\, the Lower Locks Parking Garage on Warren St. (usually $10 event parking)\, then cross the covered bridge over to the auditorium. There is also metered street parking. \nSee you there!

SUMMARY:February Jericho Walk At Burlington ICE Office

Please refrain from signs explicitly endorsing or condemning any political candidate or official. \nWe will walk\, pray and sing together. \nWe will gather in front of the office\, along District Ave\, just look for the people holding signs. \nRain or shine unless the weather is extreme.

SUMMARY:Improve Your City in 5 Simple Steps
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the (progressive) public! \nThe Incorruptibles’ mission is to fill all levels of government with unwavering politicians who fight for economic\, racial\, social\, and environmental justice. We looked for a model that we could take to thousands of cities across America that would elect multiple great candidates every election\, filling local\, then state\, then national government. We found that model — it’s been used and proven by the Richmond Progressive Alliance from Richmond\, CA. And you are now on the path to engaging your city or town the way that the RPA did in Richmond. This program will walk you through the same steps they took. \nPlease use Bartlett St. entrance. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/259518168279577/ \nHave questions? hope@solidaritylowell.com
