Please RSVP at https://bit.ly/sp-firedup so we can give them a headcount.

Everyone is fiscally responsible for their own pieces, but they start at $1 and there's no studio fee, so this will hopefully be very accessible to everyone 😊

He's a wonderful, progressive human running for Governor of Connecticut, and this is your opportunity to hang out and get to know him, ask your big and small questions, and get a feel for this guy who has been, and will continue to help shape our state into one that cares for all who love here.

Every week I try and call my legislators about something that matters to me.

This week I called my federal senators and congressman to ask them to defund ICE.

Specifically, I asked them to make efforts to defund ICE by opposing any DHS appropriations bill that maintains ICE funding, as well as asking them to support legislation that would start chipping away at the $75 BILLION slush fund that was created for ICE by H.R. 1 last year.

ICE has become a completely lawless agency that is not only terrorizing but causing physical harm and loss of life to immigrants and citizens alike. Any agency behaving like this should be fully defunded and dissolved.

I encourage you to call your legislators and let them know how you feel about this, and other issues. If it feels overwhelming, the free app 5 Calls is really helpful!

Regular reminder that the emergency pull cords in public bathrooms should ❌ NEVER be tied up or around things. It renders them useless.

These are for if someone becomes incapacitated and needs emergency/urgent assistance. For instance, if they have fallen. But if the cord is tied up, it can't be activated by the person in crisis, leaving them alone and in peril.

If you see a cord tied up, please always untie it and leave it free hanging. If you want to go the extra step, you can speak to an employee/manager at the establishment and let them know about the issue. Usually this is done by cleaning staff who have never thought about it and are just trying to do their job. But one kind word can change or even save someones life.

We will be snagging coffee or tea from our gracious host, and spending time together just vibing as a community.
