SUMMARY:Monthly Sustainability Council Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Monthly Sustainability Council Meeting \nThursday\, March 25\, 6:30pm Save the UMASS Lowell Labor Education Program\nOver the years\, the Merrimack Valley Project has been proud to work alongside an amazing team of labor leaders on multiple winning campaigns. Many of these labor leaders have been a product of the UMASS Lowell Labor Education Program\, a program rooted in organizing principles designed to challenge the status quo. Many students and faculty members have been active MVP members and continue to participate to this day. It has been a mutually beneficial relationship that has enhanced real-world student learning by way of organizing campaigns throughout the Merrimack Valley.\nUnfortunately\, the program is now in serious jeopardy. The director of the program\, Dr. Elizabeth Pellerito\, has been furloughed since last August\, meaning the program has ceased operations. Despite having more than adequate funding to restart the program\, the administration at UMASS Lowell has refused to do so. This is unacceptable and shows exactly why the program is needed: to provide well-organization advocacy against a community injustice. Dr. Pellerito has started an online petition and MVP is asking its members to sign on as a gesture of solidarity. The petition can be found at:\nhttps://actionnetwork.org/petitions/save-the-umass-lowell-labor-education-program/

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.)

SUMMARY:Disinformation and Democracy: Soros and the Fight for Open Societies
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, Mar 22\, 2021 01:15-02:15 PM\nTo register: https://tinyurl.com/m8p32daf \nFor decades\, philanthropist George Soros has been dogged by conspiracy theories and disinformation. A new documentary from filmmaker Jesse Dylan shows how his opponents—from Glenn Beck to the Proud Boys—have leveraged racist\, anti-Semitic tropes to smear not just Soros but those who’ve benefitted from his support for open societies globally. Now\, with disinformation posing a direct threat to democracy\, stemming the tide of lies has never been more crucial. Join the Brennan Center for Justice and PEN America for a conversation about truth\, lies\, and how to support open societies at a fractured historical moment.

SUMMARY:March Move Night Series
DESCRIPTION:Learn. 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 \nThe Haitian Revolution – Documentary – 1hr \nA successful anti-slavery and anti-colonial insurrection that took place in the former French colony of Saint-Domingue that lasted from 1791 until 1804. It affected the institution of slavery throughout the Americas. Self-liberated slaves destroyed slavery at home\, fought to preserve their freedom\, and with the collaboration of mulattoes\, founded the sovereign state of Haiti. It was  the greatest slave uprising since Spartacus’s unsuccessful revolt against the Roman Republic nearly 1\,900 years prior. The Haitian Revolution was also the only slave uprising that led to the founding of a state free from slavery and ruled by non-whites and former captives. \n\nInvite your friends to Movie Nights by sending them this link to sign on to the Movie Nights Invitation List:https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/movienight
