We’ve got 8 questions for you
Greetings Newsletter Readers!
We appreciate all of you so much. In this very special newsletter, we want to hear about what YOU are doing!
In 2021, CRUS is reimagining our work and our vision of the Community Rights movement. We are getting ready to launch more popular education workshops – some will be newly updated versions of classics like “We the People are More Powerful than We Believe” and “Taking Back Our Local Media,” while others will expand the CRUS repertoire with complimentary skills like Community Organizing and Nonviolent Civil Disobedience.
Your thoughtful responses will help us to do our work better, and provide us with opportunities to integrate more diverse people into our movement.
Please complete this survey. Like, really, really, pretty please!!? Your feedback is vitally important to us in this time of transition and growth. We are growing a grassroots, decentralized movement that is building a more democratic future from the local up. We cannot do it on our own – realizing the dignity and empowerment of Community Rights will require contributions from All of US!
Let’s envision our democratic future together! And please share this survey with others who support CRUS and the greater Community Rights Movement. Thanks!!
Solidarity,
Tyler Norman
CRUS Director
Here’s a peek at the survey.
CRUS Book Club is Going Livestream!
Community Rights US staff, board, and friends have been meeting weekly on zoom since last Fall, for an hour each week, in our new Book Club. We’re 3/4 done with the book Defying Corporations, Defining Democracy: A Book of History and Strategy. Beginning in early August, our Book Club will be going livestream, and you are invited to watch us discuss these provocative readings, and to interact with us via the chat box. Watchers who become regular attendees will be invited to join our live zoom conversation. Our weekly meetings are tentatively planned for Thursdays at 5-6pm Pacific Time, and will be archived on our youtube channel. For more info about how YOU can listen in, contact Paul at Paul@CommunityRights.US.
