[Hac-announce] Fwd: New Haven Rising follow up email

[Carol Siddall]

Our may speaker had promised us information about their next meeting. 
He's asked that we share the following message.

-Carol


Thank you so much for hosting us and for the opportunity to share our 
work and analysis and gather input as we prepare to launch our most 
ambitious campaign yet! As Willie Harris said, “you only get what you’re 
organized enough to take.”

We hope that your members will stay connected!

You can get more info and keep up with our activities at the *link tree

If you scroll down you will also see a way to *join New Haven Rising *as 
a dues-paying member ($50 per year suggested or $25 fixed income) or to 
make a contribution (“other”). While we are an organization consisting 
of individuals from all walks of life, many of our members are low 
income and some are unhoused, so sponsoring their ability to join is 
also appreciated.  Dues and donations help support things like providing 
food and childcare at organizing and community meetings. Larger 
donations will go to aiding us in re-starting our youth internship 
program, “organizing beyond barriers.” The movement is people-powered 
and people-funded, not funded by corporate sponsors. Other creative 
ideas and suggestions welcome!

Our next meeting for committee members and Allies will be *Thursday, 
5/29 from 5:30-7pm* (location in New Haven TBA soon). New folks are very 
welcome to come hear about our work, share the issues you are working on 
or being impacted by, and build community. Please let Sharon or Carol 
(?) know if you’re interested and you can also call, text, or email me 
directly.

This summer we will be *knocking on doors* and talking with residents in 
every neighborhood of New Haven about what is most impacting them, what 
issues matter most to their communities, and inviting them to make their 
voices heard (including by registering to vote). We always canvass in 
pairs, provide training, etc. This work is the backbone of how we 
develop our issue-agendas and go out and win them!

We will also be hosting a *large demonstration* in Mid-late July to 
publicly announce our demands and our next campaign. Stay tuned!

I hope to see you all again soon!
With solidarity & gratitude,

Jaime Myers-McPhail
