Dear Friends of the Center: I received from WILPF the following information about events that are happening this month about Earth Week – one is at Lost Lake Park on Sunday, April 23rd at 2 p.m. Please forward this to anyone you know would be interested. With Fresno Earth Day on Saturday, 22nd, this may have got overlooked: and, of course, remember that the Center for Nonviolence is taking part on Fresno Earth Day – look for our booth. That will be at Radio Park from 10-4 – 1st and Clinton.

WILPF EARTH WEEK ACTIVITIES
April 23: 2 P.M.
River blessing & ceremony by Audrey Osborne and other members of the Choinumni Tribe. Native flute music by Lance Canales. Event will take place at the San Joaquin River just inside the entrance to Lost Lake Park. Follow the signs. To avoid the entrance fee, park in the FINS Fish Hatchery free parking just past Lost Lake at Friant and Parker Roads. From the lot you can follow the signs down the short, beautiful nature trail to the ceremony location in Lost Lake Park. FYI: there is a wonderful children’s nature area on the trail. IF MAIN GATE TO LOST LAKE PARK IS CLOSED, PARK OUTSIDE AND WALK IN THE PARK ENTRANCE.

Please circulate to your lists and fellow activists!
I hope you both are well! I wanted to share information about several events that I’m helping to organize over the next week. We’re leading several phone banks throughout the Central Valley, including:
Wednesday, 4/19/17: 6:00-830 PM at Amigos Restaurant, 5113 W Walnut Ave, Visalia, CA 93277
Thursday, 4/20/17: 6:00-8:30 PM at Perko’s Café in Delano, 2343 Girard St, Delano, CA 93215
We’re also leading a “Walk for Accountability” in CD10 (Denham) in Modesto on April 22nd (I’ve included flyers for both). There’s also a walk in CD21 (Valadao) being anchored by SEIU 2015 (I’ve cc’d Alicia Jacobo to share those details).
Would you be willing to pass this along to others who might be interested in getting involved in resistance efforts next week?
Thanks so much!
-Mike

“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.
The 2017 Mid-Year Planning Conference is quickly approaching. In order for BAPAC- Fresno to make proper accommodations for everyone, we need your help. Click on the attachments below and follow the simple instructions to be connected with our PayPal online registration. This event marks the first-time, in what BAPAC- Fresno anticipates to be an annual event for African American organizations around the state.
Additionally, there are sponsorship opportunities available as well. Please click on that 2nd attachment below and follow those simple instructions to become a sponsor.
There is a myriad of issues impacting the status of African Americans around the state. And,
although many of the discussions will center around African American topics specifically, the developed solutions and outcomes will impact every ethnicity and community.
Your collective input and activities is needed and desired moving the agenda forward.
Lastly, there will be a Gala on Saturday night honoring African American elected officials from Stockton to Bakersfield. As of today, 29 African American elected officials have been contacted for participation. The Gala is been crafted to communal support for their hard work and efforts on behalf of their constituents.
At the time of Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination, his work pivoted to be inclusive of all people. Working for poor people, the marginalized and under-served, he developed what he referred to as the “Beloved Community.” It way past time for US to form our own “BELOVED COMMUNITIES” throughout this state we call home.
As the Chairman of the local BAPAC Chapter, I extend this invitation and hope to see each of you on May 5th-6th.
