Please join Partners For Progress SWPA on May 31 from 5:30-7:30 pm for its membership meeting. This month, to strengthen the social ties that facilitate the work we do as a community, we will be breaking bread together. Everyone is welcome, but if you are able to, please bring a dish to share (main, side, or dessert), or if cooking is not your thing, bring some seltzers or other non-alcoholic beverages to share.
Along with good food, company, and discussion, we will be having a special presentation on mutual aid, how it works, what is going on locally, and how it intersects with both immigrant protection and neighborhood organizing.

Citizens Bank: Stop Funding Cruelty, a roadside protest at a South Hills Pittsburgh Citizens Bank branch on Saturday, June 6, 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.

While marching in the streets won’t get billionaires to pay their fair share or get ICE agents off our streets, solidarity events like this are a first step to create the momentum we need to organize our communities and work together to fight for a city where everyone can thrive. Bring a friend, coworker, partner, family member, or neighbor – our collective energy is powerful.
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/
