Now that summer has unofficially arrived, we in Michigan have a comparatively short window of good weather in which to make personal contact with our neighbors and start to lay the groundwork for successful local campaigns this year and statewide campaigns next year.
The explosion of community-based organizing post-election has settled into a routine for many groups, both new and established. Unfortunately, there’s no lack of incentive for our engagement; fortunately, we are rising to the challenge in many different ways. Here I’d like to draw your attention to a few significant events and organizations that may pique your interest and offer you an (additional) opportunity to get involved locally.
After the jump, you’ll see the event notices and the organizational promos. They are Washtenaw-heavy, since that’s where I am and what I know best. If YOU have other notices you’d like to promote, please feel free to add them in the comments. I am not able to cover all of the possibilities myself. The more use we make of all our modes of communication, the better.
Please help us build this weekly Michigan thread so that it includes any information relevant to turning MI Blue again that you would like me to highlight. MI contributors are always welcome!
