SACC Meetings
The Social Action Coordinating Committee (SACC) is dedicated to hosting and promoting events to inform and help our members engage in the pursuit of social justice. At our last SACC meeting, we helped a dozen members connect with others who share their interests. It is our hope these small get-togethers may become action groups and/or lead our members to join organizations already formed. All are invited to our meetings on the fourth Monday of the month. Upcoming meeting dates are February 27, 2017, and March 27th at 6:30pm. Come at 6pm if you would like to join our pre-meeting potluck.
Move To Amend
On January 29 Bill Haff of the Ojai group Move to Amend gave a presentation about the Move to Amend (MTA) work on a constitutional amendment to establish money is not speech and corporations are not people. The bill provided historical background about the growing influence of corporations in politics, shared a progression of MTA’s work, and offered several ways our members, individually and as a congregation, can help MTA get money out of politics. Visit MTA online and sign the Motion to Amend for the 28th Amendment at https://movetoamend. org/motion.

Thank you Sue Brinkmeyer

Sue is taking a much-deserved break. She has stepped down as Interim Director of Lift Up Your Voice. Until a permanent replacement is decided upon, I will fill that position.
Her dedication, compassion, and organizational skills will be sorely missed. However Sue has organized LUYV in such a fashion, that by pulling together, we will continue and hopefully expand our important mission of advocating for and working with our homeless and marginalized neighbors
