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: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: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
