SUMMARY:March Movie Night Series
DESCRIPTION:Sunday nights at 7pm ET\nFirst one March 7 \nLearn. Discuss…spur conversations on our future as a cooperative society \nCommunityBridge.com presents – An engaging series of films to spur conversations on our future as a cooperative society. March is Rebellion and Cooperatives month on CommunityBridge. This series of documentaries and films focuses on the United States history of uprisings that are left out of our school curriculum. \nIn US culture\, these topics are usually framed to raise guilt and further repression\, preventing positive dialog and actions to change the future. These films are presented as an opportunity for discussion\, not blame\, for building a movement towards an enlightened future and finding our part in the process as loving caring people working together to build a cooperative and inclusive economy for all. \nWe will share our thoughts on solutions and actions we can take as individuals and organizations working towards positive change and cooperative lives. \nPRIMER: A link to a 4 minute video description of worker-owned cooperatives: https://youtu.be/pKN-gxmVRUc \n\nMarch 7th – Double Feature: \n1. Freedom or Death – 15mins \nThe Louisiana Slave Revolt of 1811\, also known as: The German Coast Uprising:  In January 1811\, five hundred slaves of south Louisiana rose in active rebellion against their masters in the largest slave revolt in American history. This film is a bit sanitized and that  presentation will be a part of our discussion. What to do about sanitized history… \n2. Own The Change – 30mins \nBuilding Economic Democracy One Worker Co-op at a Time. A short\, practical guide for those considering worker owned cooperatives\, made by GRITtv & TESA\, the Toolbox for Education and Social Action.

SUMMARY:Support Bills Introduced by the Massachusetts Renews Alliance  
DESCRIPTION:Advocacy training March 22 6-8pm \nFor years\, 350 Mass has been working to build a wide coalition of labor\, youth\, climate justice\, Indigenous\, disabled\, and class justice organizers to build Green New Deal inspired policy in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Renews Alliance is the culmination of these efforts. \n350 Mass and partners in the Mass Renews Alliance have introduced three bills into this legislative session: The Building Justice with Jobs Act would retrofit one million homes and create thousands of jobs across the state. The Food Justice with Jobs Act and Food Justice Frontline Act would create farm jobs for those in need\, establish community land trusts to run community farms\, and subsidize home gardening. \nTo pass these bills\, we are going to need cosponsors statewide. With their node structure\, 350 Mass is uniquely suited to organize advocacy meetings with representatives across the state. See their advocacy guide at  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WMamQfs8Lz8tLBtHQ7chZFAqPuKCIW1YuUUK9AB-2dw/edit?usp=sharing \nSign up for Advocacy Day training at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSepK_4Xlj-8n-21OAidnNc6lb9QWJXGiMXLw6VLJ9uGxbnLYg/viewform\n(If you can’t make it to the live training on March 22 6-8pm\, you can request a recording.)
