Yesterday Julia and I opened our doors for the first meeting of our local chapter of Solidarity Sundays. Solidarity Sundays started as Suffragette Sundays in the Bay Area. It was a local activist meet-up led by Kate Schatz (author of Rad American Women) and Leslie Van Every. This fall, the group expanded nationwide and renamed to embrace a wider agenda of community activism, dealing with everything from general political issues and social concerns to the environment, LGBTQ+ rights and helping with food/hunger concerns. When we saw they were looking for new groups, we immediately opened our doors and were excited to have a chance to welcome new people into our home for a good cause.
I’ve written about so many different entertaining themes here at D*S, but I thought it would be fun to share the details of how we organized our event in case anyone else wants to try something similar in their home. You don’t need a lot of space, time or money to make a BIG difference in your area, so if you want to connect with local people and support those in need, this is a great way to do that — and indulge in some entertaining fun. Below I’ve shared details for putting this event together at your house and some recipe ideas for keeping everyone snacking while they write letters and make calls. xo, grace
