Socialist Education Working Group Meeting
Happy summer everyone! We're still in the midst of summer, so we're thinking we'll re-boot the Socialist Education Working Group on Monday, August 23rd from 7-8:30 pm.
Join us on this zoom link to discuss socialist education in the fall. So before then, take a temperature of where your energy for engagement might be, think about joining a new project for the fall, imagine any new or different possibilities we could experiment with, and then come on the 23rd and we'll roll up our sleeves (as it may be cold enough to wear long sleeves by that time), re-introduce our post-summer selves, and plan for the fall. See you then!
