Rally in Philly today https://mobilize.us/s/bCiX6H
From Panick (Erica), reach out if intereted in joining: I’m teaming up with a group of therapists to create a guide on how to take a ‘political recharge leave’ and come back without feeling overwhelmed. They are meeting on the 26th and my plan is to then have something put together by mid April based off of what they are able to do. This will be hosted on The Unified Front’s webpage when I am done with it. If members would like to contribute, there will be some anonymity for the authors of the project once its complete. And will be shared with our Indivisible group.
Civil right focus group is meeting this weekend to plan an event in Schwenksville to support our Jewish neighbors. More to come!
(Also a reminder to check out the events page! I am just summarizing events/ actions discussed in signal on any particular day!)
