WeROC Friends and Family,

Please join us virtually this Thursday at 5:30 pm for our monthly Meeting of the Whole, as we together build momentum for a very big summer and fall. Register in advance for this meeting here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0ud-2urz4jH9xL0PtNQesdLuWzRO7XZv0e

Agenda Attached

Thursday’s agenda will include these topics that WeROC is leaning into this summer and fall…

• “Friendraising” Campaign — We’re excited that our “WeROC Issues Month” events are beginning this week, to help us all understand more deeply several key issues we are tackling in our County.  You can register for any or all of the 4 weekly programs (starting THIS WEEK on Tuesday the 3rd) here, find more on each event here, and download the flyer to help us spread the word here.
  • We’ll also have more on our major in-person (we very much hope!) picnic event in September.

• WeROC’s Electoral Involvement — Learn the latest plans for our local and regional “Integrated Voter Engagement” work, as we work to blend key grassroots issue work with this year’s crucial elections.

• And updates from our Voting Rights, Health Equity, and Justice Matters Action Teams

After registering for Thursday’s meeting, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. We hope to see you at the meeting this Thursday.

WeROC Friends and Family,

Please join us this Thursday at 5:30pm for our monthly Meeting of the Whole.  You will hear about our plans for Friendraising in May and early September.  We will have detailed information about interesting WeROC virtual sessions on the timeliest of topics designed to capture the hearts and minds of kindred spirits in our community.

We will also present information on Get Out the Vote activities in our community and region.

Our sister organization, MOSES, is offering a Faith Captain’s Academy the second Monday of every month at least thru August.  Faith Captains (you can be one!) will receive organizing training (beyond the Organizing 101 training) that can be used to participate and invite others to engage in Interactive Voter Engagement and can be used for organizing and building power before and beyond election activities.  It will help you organize around any current issue also.  You do not have to have a congregation to participate.

I hope to see you at the meeting this Thursday.

Greetings, WeROC Members and Supporters ..

Please register below and join us for our monthly WeROC Meeting of the Whole, this Thursday 2/3, 5:30-6:30 on Zoom. Our Action Team leaders will share updates on Voting Rights, Health Equity, and Justice Matters (criminal system reform) Action Teams — with opportunities for YOU to engage in the great work of one or more of the teams!

• We’ll also touch on the emerging cross-county role for WeROC, outlined in a public Statement we began distributing this week: Encouraging and supporting local residents, congregations, and organizations – especially those most harmed by Covid and past decisions — in cities and townships across Washtenaw County who are now engaging — or hope to engage in the near future — in the exciting local decisions beginning to happen on how best to spend the large new sums of federal money becoming available to us.
• You can help us identify folks or groups that are organizing around local decisions about ARPA (and other potential sources of major new funding).

One more thing:  Please RSVP for this Friday’s Transit Equity Day events. Equitable public transportation is in WeROC’s DNA, having cut our teeth on very successful local transit issues. We strongly encourage broad participation in this event.

Hope to “see” you at our Thursday 5:30 WeROC meeting! Register in advance for this meeting:

Agitation is an act of Love

Hello, all —

Register here for Thursday’s (Oct 7) monthly (still virtual) Meeting of the Whole, 5:30-6:30 pm.

Whether you’ve been a part of WeROC’s past work, or you’re a first timer, we think this hour will be valuable to all of us.  One of our basic organizing understandings is that, at its root, power comes from two things — organized people and/or organized money.  We’ll explore how this applies to our local work together.

Come and hear updates and opportunities from the leaders of our three current Action Teams (Health Equity, Voter Rights, and Justice Matters), and how WeROC as a whole is tying all of our campaigns together with plans for organizing more people and more dollars, in lots of creative ways.
