The Grand Rapids Activist Calendar is a new website and email list that aims to make it easier both for progressive and left groups to promote their events and for people interested in social change to find out what is happening in Grand Rapids.
The calendar--which launched on Sunday, March 8, 2010--is an effort aimed
at filling the void that currently exists in Grand Rapids. There are many
event calendars in the city, but few that focus exclusively on
progressive/left events. The Grand Rapids Activist Calendar aims enhance
organizing efforts by creating new and strengthening existing ties in the
Grand Rapids community through mutual solidarity in our struggles.
At the core of the calendar is a weekly email list that will be sent out
to subscribers. Each week the Grand Rapids Activist Calendar will send out
a list of upcoming lectures, protests, documentaries, rallies, and
meetings with the goal of building the progressive movement in Grand
Rapids.
