Description:

Join us as we discuss Political Education plans for the MADSA chapter and the general public.

"What [political education] means is to try, relentlessly and
passionately, to teach the masses that everything depends on them; that
if we stagnate it is their responsibility, and that if we go forward it
is due to them too, that there is no such thing as a hero that will save
them with his magic hands, that there is no famous man who will take
the responsibility for everything, but that the hero is the people
themselves and the magic hands are finally only the hands of the people." -Frantz Fanon

The Program Working Group is in the process of formalizing a new program for MADSA. If you have opinions about the political direction of the chapter, come out and help us draft it!

This is a hybrid meeting.
