Freedom Schools L.A. Fall Planning Meeting and Picnic - Sunday, Sept. 26

Dear FSLA Family,

After such an an amazing summer experience of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth and the collectivity demonstrated by our FSLA family, why would we want this to end?

The simple answer is: WE DON'T!

After a month of rest, it is now time to get to work and begin planning our fall session. So let's do this!

Some possible topics to be discussed:

- The structure of FSLA for the Fall session
- Immediately addressing changing conditions in our communities and recent events that require our attention and action
- The types of classes to be offered and their regularity
- Outreaching to new communities
- Formation of a Solidarity Action Committee and planning of an action
- Establishing further solidarity with other organizations
- Coordinating actions with other organizations
- Any other issues that needs to be addressed...

Please, think of any other topic that should be discussed during the meeting. Gather your thoughts and share!

Bring whomever wants to participate in generating change. Let's continue building community and solidarity. If you come late, it doesn't matter, just come! There will be plenty of work for everyone!


Date: Sunday, September 26, 2010
Time: 11:00am-2:00pm
Location: Sycamore Grove Park

Freedom Schools LA Potluck, Fundraiser, & Celebration


To celebrate the first Freedom Schools session & all the wonderful folk who participated in ALL capacities, we will be having a two-part extravaganza!

At 6pm we will be having a veggie friendly potluck style dinner party with a suggested donation of $5 (no one will be turned away for lack of funds). We will also be raffling off some goodies. Oh and the dinner is a kid friendly event so bring your families!

At 9pm we will be switching it up to party hard & really celebrate all of our efforts, learning & growth. Kegs will be on hand with a donation of $5 for an all you can drink cup =). We will be jamming to the sounds of old school hip-hop with live DJ (Thanks Drew & Co.!).

Look forward to partying hard with everyone to celebrate this first of many Freedom School's sessions.
