SUMMARY:Northeast Recovery Learning Community’s Open House
DESCRIPTION:We are a Department of Mental Health funded entity within the Northeast Independent Living Program. We provide welcoming\, safe\, understanding\, judgement-free spaces where individuals of diverse backgrounds can gather for healing and growth. We are non-clinical\, yet we possess lived experiences that allow us to connect with people openly and honestly. We are a community of peers in recovery from mental health challenges\, substance use and or traumatic life experiences. We offer peer run support groups\, workshops and trainings such as Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP)\, community social events\, LGBTQIA Support groups\, Hearing Voices Support groups\, Addiction Recovery Support and support for families\, Spanish Language Trainings\, Advocacy\, Certified Older Adult Peer Support\, Community Bridging and a variety of other resources and supports. \nWe are holding the Open House so that we may better connect with community partners and create a space for dialogue\, so that we may best assist the Greater Lowell area. I think at this point in time\, we all know at least one individual who is either suffering from or succumb to addiction. Our hope is that we can smash the silos and invoke real change\, while generating a support system for ALL individuals who are struggling\, have been cast aside or are trapped by a seemingly hopeless state of mind. \nMike Berggren \nNortheast Recovery Learning Community \n35 John Street\, Lowell – 978-687-4288 x 200 \n20 Ballard Road\, Lawrence – 978-687-4288 x 140

SUMMARY:ROE Act Advocacy Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us to pass the ROE Act and protect abortion access in Massachusetts! \nIn many states\, access to abortion is hanging on by a thread. Donald Trump and politicians like him are stopping at nothing to ban abortion. But in Massachusetts\, we are pushing forward. We have been working hard alongside elected leaders who are championing the ROE Act—a bold piece of state legislation that not only re-affirms the right to safe\, legal abortion\, but guarantees it is accessible and affordable to all people. \nWe can do this – but we need you with us. Join us on November 14 and urge your lawmakers to pass the ROE Act. \nWe will meet at the 32BJ SEIU Meeting Hall at 11 AM to hear from advocates and participate in a brief advocacy training before heading over to the State House to meet with lawmakers. See registration page for accessibility information. \nMassachusetts has long been a leader in health care access and reproductive rights. Let’s work together to make this a decisive moment for reproductive freedom in the commonwealth and pass the ROE Act! \nRSVP and get more info: https://actionnetwork.org/forms/roe-act-advocacy-day

SUMMARY:International Festival\, New England Justice for Our Neighbors
DESCRIPTION:For the past year\, many hardy volunteers have been providing support for the attorneys who provide legal advice and counsel to the immigrants who have visited the Lawrence and Lowell clinics. I’m just home from the Lawrence clinic tonight where we saw four clients. Lawyers offered advice for women dealing with domestic violence\, a teenager trying to find a new home\, and others seeking asylum form a home county where they are on the wrong side of the current ruling authority. This work is critical to the many immigrants who visited our clinics this year. \nPlease help us continue this work into the new year\, by supporting our fund raiser.  Make your reservations now by emailing us at jfonlawlowclinic@gmail.com. Tables or individual reservations can be made.\nThank you\,\nSharon Jones \n\n\n
