Political activism and your civic responsibility – meeting at 5:30pm today Saturday 8/30/14

Assalaamu-alaikum,

We are trying to organize a political activism planning meeting to address our relationship with elected officials and how we get from here to the elections in November and in the years to come. How do we build a healthy working relationship with our elected officials so that when we are attacked unfairly in the media or otherwise we are able to call on our elected officials. This also applies to international issues and if you are not heard you do not exist. Let’s get off the complaining, reactionary mode and proactively build this committee.

Venue – IAGH conference hall – 1781 Berlin Turnpike, Berlin, CT.

Time 5:30pm after Asr Salat.

Date – Today – Saturday 8/30/14
