Hi folks, Hope you're doing as well as possible <3 This is a reminder/invitation: the 30 friends activism group is starting back up this Sunday April 25, 2pm-3:30pm. Now that the election is over, we're focusing on the long-term next steps and concrete actions in every meeting to support the shifts on climate change, social justice, democracy, etc that our country needs. All are welcome to join us for this relaunch! If you're looking for a way to be regularly engaged in activism (while having fun with friends), I highly recommend this one :) I know this email list has a bunch of overlap and many of you already know about/are part of 30 friends (hi! thank you!!), and I hope the redundant reminder is ok :) <3S ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Zoe Young <zoe.o.young(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 20, 2021 at 8:58 AM Subject: 30 Friends - Zoom Link for Sunday's Meeting!!

To keep up that streak, each monthly(ish) meeting will include an action hour, so that the meeting itself becomes a chance to get shit done. You should already have a calendar invite in your inbox. It's on! Zoe

We capped it off with a meaningful climate conversation with Congressman Scott Peters (CA), who affirmed the impact of our collective efforts: > > ”Leadership more often than not comes from outside the [Capitol], and politicians follow what’s popular. So to the extent you can make this stuff popular and bring it to the attention of politicians, it’s really, really powerful.

It's an experiment. Both groups will get the same issue briefing at the top of the hour.

We have put together a truly *stellar* lineup of facilitators & speakers to support participants in reflecting on the social, political, and racial moment we are living in. We will tackle questions like: "How do grassroots movements make change?", "What is my relationship with money?", and "What is my relationship to transformative social movements *and* how do I want that to grow?" It's going to be a freakin' treat to learn from the likes of Jackie Byers (Black Organizing Project), Sammie Wills & Yuan Wang (APIENC), Mario Lugay (Justice Funders), Rajiv Khanna (Thousand Currents), and Mateo Nube (Movement Generation). Whooza what a crew. Join us!!
