Tuesday, Dec 5, 4-6pm
37 W Broad St.
In 2012, Dreamers took nonviolent direct action and won DACA, an executive action that protected 800,000 young undocumented immigrants from deportation. On September 5th, President Trump repealed DACA, threatening to strip Dreamers of their ability to live, learn & work in their home – the USA.
Now, we MUST pass the DREAM Act, which would make DACA the law and grant undocumented youth a path to citizenship. Our best chance is to force Congress to put DREAM into the Omnibus Spending bill, which must be passed by December 8th to fund the federal government. We are calling on every Democrat and Republican who says they support Dreamers to join Senators Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and others who have pledged to vote against any spending bill that does not include the DREAM Act.
We can win this – IF hundreds of us take over the offices of Representatives and Senators across the country to demand they make a choice: stand with Dreamers or stand by as 800,000 young immigrants are deported
Saturday, Dec 2, 5:30-7:30pm

Dinner will be a potluck so please bring a dish to share if you are so inclined. Light beverages and tableware provided.
This is also a fundraising event to help improve the tiny house and allow the sustainable journey to continue. There will be a number of crafts and artifacts available as a thank you for your donation.
Thursday, Nov. 20. 7-8:3pm
St. Stephen's Episcopal Church and University Center, 30 W Woodruff Ave, Columbus, Ohio 43210
Socialists spend a lot of time talking about workers. From terms like "workers' power" to "class struggle and solidarity" and beyond, the socialist lexicon is full with references to the working class. But what is the working class, and more importantly, why should anyone even care?
Come out for a public talk and discussion on why the working class still matters, and what lessons we can draw from the hey-day of labor's struggles in US history for today.
Friday, November 24, 12noon-1pm
