SUMMARY:A Mutual Aid Fair by 50501 Michigan & Partners
DESCRIPTION:From 505051 MI:\n\nNOT ON THE 17th We're very pleased to announ
 ce one of our events for the month of July - in cooperation with 50501 Nat
 ional and the rest of our resistance family\, we are honoring the memory o
 f the late John Lewis\, legendary civil rights activist and a member of th
 e U.S. House of Representatives for 33 years before his death in 2020.John
  Lewis is one of the primary figures responsible for informing our approac
 hes and behaviors regarding protest - he was a staunch advocate of non-vio
 lent protest as a means to create change for the common person\, and the e
 xample he set has rippled through nearly all protest movements since his p
 articipation in the 1960 Nashville sit-ins and Freedom Rides at only 20 ye
 ars old.50501MI is proud to celebrate his life\, sacrifices\, and lessons 
 with an afternoon that will bring our community together to connect with o
 ne another outside of the digital bubble we all organize and live much of 
 our lives within\, and the role that mutual aid serves in furtherance of t
 he messages of unity\, progressive politics\, and non-violent resistance t
 hat our organization and our friends in other local organizations share wi
 th him.On July 19th\, we invite everyone to come to Palmer Park in Detroit
  for an afternoon of food\, fun\, community development and support for th
 ose of us who are in need. If our government will not do their jobs and pr
 ovide social safety nets\, then we will take that challenge on headfirst.I
 t is clear that we are going to have to band together across every facet a
 nd difference in our society to make change - just as Rep. Lewis understoo
 d and grew in his time fighting for and defending the rights and lives of 
 minorities across the country. Come through and let's start a new chapter\
 , one where every single person is cared for\, fed and clothed by one anot
 her.If they won't do it\, we will.Love to all. Every day is another step t
 oward the liberation of the many from the whims of the few. It starts here
  - we'll need every ounce of effort we have to give to keep everyone of us
  afloat\, because every single person deserves the opportunity to live wit
 hout fear of their basic needs being taken at any given time.
