SUMMARY:Second United Lenape/ Lunaapeew Nations Pow Wow - 12pm ET
DESCRIPTION:Join Middle Church in attending the Second United Lenape/ Lunaapeew Nations Pow Wow on Saturday\, September 13th when the Grand Entry begins 12:00PM at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park\, Brooklyn.   Contact Reparations@middlechurch.org to connect for attendance gathering.  See flyer for more details. \n  \nMiddle Church joins the Eenda-Lunaapeewahkiing Collective (El Collective)\, American Indian Community House and Prospect Park Alliance in sponsoring the Second United Lenape/ Lunaapeew Nations Pow Wow on September 13 & 14 at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park\, Brooklyn. Experience this important tradition of Lenape and allied Indigenous artists and creators\, dancers and drummers\, and artisan craft and food vendors in Prospect Park for a weekend of family-friendly culture\, learning and fun.  Free and open to all.  Register on Eventbrite to support headcount. \nLunáapeew/Lenape means human beings or\, more specifically\, “the ones who came from thought\,” and is the name of the indigenous peoples whose ancestral homelands encompassed what is today Brooklyn and the surrounding region. Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing\, “the land of the Lunáapeew\,” holds the stories of a civilization rich with a deep understanding of the delicate balance and mutual relationships necessary to nurture and sustain a healthy world. \nProspect Park Alliance is hosting this event as part of their ReImagine Lefferts initiative\, which seeks to re-envision the mission and programming of the Lefferts Historic House museum in Prospect Park to focus on exploring the lives\, resistance and resilience of the Indigenous people of Lenapehoking\, whose unceded ancestral lands the park and house rests upon\, and the Africans enslaved by the Lefferts family. The Second United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow will be organized and staffed by and for Lenape/Lunáapeew\, offering communities pushed over centuries across Turtle Island a chance to reconnect with each other. \n

SUMMARY:Voter Reform Group
DESCRIPTION:A strong democracy depends on civic engagement and a commitment to pluralism. We come together every other week to learn\, discuss\, and share our individual perspectives on elections and political issues affecting our communities and nation. Importantly\, we use this group to take action. We register new voters and mobilize voters for every election. We encourage members to become poll workers and monitors\, and to take action on voting rights and other justice issues. We engage in nonpartisan postcard writing campaigns to encourage people to vote and remove any financial barrier so that all citizens can equally participate. Together\, we send thousands of cards and letters and amplify our impact. Join us bi-weekly on Sundays at 10am-11am to mobilize. \nClick here to RSVP and receive Zoom information for our next meeting. \nTo join the team\, contact votingproject@middlechurch.org.
