Partners For Progress SWPA Membership Meeting with Special Training Session on Neighborhood By Neighborhood Organizing, Sunday, April 12, 3-5 pm. Come meet your fellow South Hills (and adjacent communities) activists, plan future actions and activities, and participate in a training session, presented by filmmaker and community organizer Annabel Park, on how to organize locally so you and your neighbors are prepared to act when a crisis arises. This is the type of organizing that enabled the people of Minneapolis to stand and protect each other while under siege and empowered the people of South Korea to resist a military takeover of their government. Location (in Mt. Lebanon) will be provided when you RSVP https://actionnetwork.org/forms/partners-for-progress-swpa-meeting-and-neighborhood-organizing-training

Citizens Bank: Stop Funding Cruelty, a roadside protest at a South Hills Pittsburgh Citizens Bank branch on May 2, 11-noon. Citizens Bank, through Citizens Financial Group, has long financed private prison operators like The GEO Group despite decades of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Right here in PA, GEO runs the Moshannon Valley Processing Center, the largest ICE detention site in the Northeast. Join Partners For Progress SWPA and Indivisibles across Pennsylvania to shine a light on the Moshannon Valley Processing Center and to demand that Citizens Bank stop funding cruelty.

Fridays Without Fetterman, every Friday, noon to 1 pm at 1000 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, 15222. It hardly needs to be said how disappointing John Fetterman has been as our senator. It is crucial that we continue to remind him that we sent him to Washington to stand up for our values, protect our civil and first amendment rights, and be a bulwark against the tyrannical policies of the Trump regime. Bring a sign and a friend. https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/899611/
