I am looking forward to our WeROC Meeting of the Whole September 5 at 5:30.  There is a lot going on post Primary and pre General Election.  There is a lot of excitement and engagement in the air. Our three initiatives the JMAT Juvenile Justice initiative, Voter Rights and Access and Health Equity’s continuing work on improving behavioral health accessibility in Washtenaw County all have exciting things going on.  We will not only update everyone on what is happening, we will also talk about how these three initiatives,  engagement in the primary and excitement about the upcoming general election intersect to create a time of opportunity to gain momentum locally and see gains in building the Beloved Community.  I hope you can join us to talk about these three initiatives and share ideas for leveraging their commonality.  See you on Zoom tomorrow! The Zoom link is below and the agenda is attached.

Since I am hearing from so many people that they are out of town, engaged in family events, running for office, supporting their favorite candidates or proposal, getting out the vote, or otherwise engaged, I am making an executive decision to cancel the WeROC Meeting of the Whole this Thursday and encouraging all of you finish up the summer in activities of your choice.  We  will see you on September 5th, hopefully in person to start the Fall off right!  Take Care and enjoy your choices!

Due to the normal meeting time of the first Thursday of the month being the holiday and vacation schedules, we will not have a Meeting of the Whole in July.  Our Action Teams (Voter Rights and Access, Justice Matters and Health Equity) will continue their work as planned.  I have attached an opportunity to volunteer with Survivors Speak on some election education, registration sessions and volunteer opportunities to help with those events. Stay Safe and enjoy the July 4th Holiday!

Hi, WeROC Members and Friends!  Our September Meeting in person was so energizing and engaged that we decided to remain all in person at least through December.  So the meeting this week and the meetings in November and December will be in person only.  We will reassess based on weather for the harsher winter months of January-March.  The agenda is attached to this email.  There are lots of interesting topics and updates so please join us at 111 S Wallace, Ypsilanti, the former Chappelle Elementary School and current home of Tad Wysor’s church.  Please turn on Jones Street and come to the back of the building for access to the meeting.  Light food and beverages will be available. See you Thursday!
