Are you angry about federal agents and National Guard patrolling schools? On Thursday, November 5th, Brooke Pinto’s Judiciary and Public Safety Committee will host a public hearing about heightened federal agent and national guard activity on our streets and at our schools. We encourage everyone to testify at this hearing and to help prepare people, MDC DSA's Abolition Working group is holding a workshop to go over some best practices for writing testimony, give space for people to brainstorm what to include in their testimony, and have dedicated time for writing and feedback. Can't make this event, or want to know what others in the community are saying? Fams Not Feds and DSA's Community Defense Working Group are having a community meeting and testimony prep session on Saturday, October 24th — we encourage everyone to check it out!
