with the Quality of Life Committee, hosted by Communities United, 2221
Maryland Ave., 2nd floor, Baltimore 21218. Tickets are at
membershipdrive.secure.force.com. Join the community - made up of
returned citizens (ex-felons), users, ex-users, and the people who love them -
to address issues that affect our lives daily. The goal is to combine the
resources of returning citizens and those in recovery, so they can make a
difference for themselves, families, and communities. Tackle the barriers
that affect us together! See https://www.facebook.com/events/250019822261583/.

Pizzigati will discuss his new book, "The Case for a Maximum Wage." at
the Busboys & Poets, 14th and V Sts. NW, WDC Baltimore
Ave. Could capping top incomes tackle our rising inequality more
effectively than conventional approaches to narrowing our vast economic
divides? Progressive Cheverly members have had the opportunity to hear Sam
discuss some of his previous books, including "Greed and Good
Understanding the Inequality that Limits our Lives." See https://www.busboysandpoets.com/locations/?location=14th-v&venue=14th-v.

with Issue Campaigns at a Local Level, hosted by Take Action AAC at the
Edgewater Community Library. Do you have something you would like to see
change at a local level? Have you ever wondered how to make that happen? Join
Take Action Anne Arundel County to learn more about how to “cut an issue” and
plan a campaign to make change happen locally. With recent events, the county
has been affected by immigration policy and gun violence. If you care about
these issues, join in to plan how we can act locally. By joining together, we
can make a difference. Check out https://www.facebook.com/events/2093096187617817/.

– On
Fri., July 20, in preparation for the Youth Climate March on Sat., July 21,
there will be an art build around the D.C. area to celebrate the movement and
earth through art. In any movement, it is important to have community building,
because community is the best antidote to hopelessness. Through these art
builds we are building our community and beautiful banners and signs for The
Youth Climate March. Kallan Benson, local climate change teen activist, has
a Parachutes for the
Planet project which will be the central art installation for the
Zero Hour events. On July 20 & 21 as a plea for broad, global action to
protect our climate, Parachutes for the Planet will display over 100 round
banners, hand-painted by youth from every permanently-settled continent of the
globe. She needs people each morning to unload and spread out parachutes,
throughout the day to make sure none are lost or damaged, and to pack up at the
end of each day. If you know of anyone who would like to help for any block of
time on July 20 or 21, contact Kallan at releaf4us@gmail.com.
