SUMMARY:Reparations Task Force
DESCRIPTION:This group examines Middle’s own history of colonization\, Indigenous exploitation\, and Black enslavement to help us think about how we can use the resources generated by white supremacy—from which we still benefit—to create a more just world. To create continuity in this work\, the group is closed to open membership. Interested parties can contact one of the co-chairs Anna Polovick Waggy to schedule a conversation.

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.
