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

Join us for marshal training for this year's Queer Liberation March!

This casual gathering is designed for parents who want to have community conversations and learn more about gubernatorial candidate, Francesca Hong, but political events don’t always work with little ones in tow. Whether you’re deeply involved already or just starting to pay attention to what’s happening in Wisconsin, you are welcome here.

We’ll have space for adults to connect, ask questions, and talk about Francesca Hong and issues impacting Wisconsin families while kids play nearby in a safe, relaxed environment.

Activities for kids include playground access, sandbox, bouncy house, water table, sports toys and outdoor play!

Light refreshments will be provided. Come as you are, bring your kids, and connect with other parents who care about building a better future for our communities.

Address provided upon RSVP.

Open to all members! In this meeting we'll be looking at the calendar, thinking about posts or art that might be fun that we can plan in advance for upcoming historical dates or holidays, and pairing people with different skills to help facilitate creating stuff. I've talked to plenty of people who've wanted to make little pieces of propaganda or informational posts but haven't had a perfect place or all the skills to make them, and this can be the event to help with that!
