I hope you all have your power restored and are nice and warm.  Please join us for the WeROC Meeting of the Whole tomorrow evening.  Thanks to Pastor Liz and Melanie Harner of First Congregational UCC, we are able to have another hybrid meeting.  So, once again, you can choose to come in person at 111 S. Wallace, Ypsilanti, MI 48197. Come to the back door of Chapelle School or you can participate virtually at via Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7643282234.  Again this is the church’s Zoom Link so don’t be confused by that name on the meeting title.  The agenda is attached.

If you have not yet paid your membership dues for 2023, please do so now.  Membership dues provide a stable amount of income for WeROC to use in support of important community issues.  It also signals your dedication and commitment to building the Beloved Community.

WeROC Family and Friends,

Thanks to everyone who participated in the  hard work during the recent election cycle.   As we pivot as an organization toward a new, even more powerful phase in WeROC’s ten-year life, the Leadership Team is cancelling the December Meeting of the Whole due conflicting schedules.  We encourage all of our members and friends to join us this month in reflecting on how we can together leverage the collective bottom-up power we are building in our County to respond to the new social and political landscape created during this election season by so many new voters (thank you especially young people and women of all ages!).

As our Leadership Team works this month to develop proposed plans for 2023, we welcome any ideas you may have for WeROC going forward, and we look forward to hitting the ground running at our Thursday January 5th Meeting of the Whole.  (We may be able to try an in-person meeting again…stay tuned, and keep checking the website at werocmi.org for emerging information about WeROC.)

Finally, we are deeply grateful (really, and not just for this holiday!) for the flurry of new memberships — if you haven’t yet, please consider going to the DONATE button at werocmi.org and pay for formal membership (indicate in the comment section that your donation is for membership.)

Appreciate all of you as we move forward together…Let’s build on the momentum of our Friend/Fundraiser and the changes brought by the elections and discern our best steps forward.  Happiest of Holidays to all of you and yours!

Hello WeROC Family and Friends.  Please join us tomorrow at 5:30 for our monthly Meeting of the Whole.  Register at this link.

https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0ud-2urz4jH9xL0PtNQesdLuWzRO7XZv0e

At a time when it seems we’re facing new crises every day, at every level, WeROC is building our capacity to work with our members, friends, and allies to strategically turn crises into opportunities — and fight the discouragement and division that our opponents constantly try to sow among us.  Please come and be a part of launching a new phase in our unique work in Washtenaw County, as we address current crises and social justice issues while raising new resources to do our organizing work even better.  WeROC is more important than ever, especially as we follow the lead of those most affected by the local, regional, and national injustices we are all facing.
