Hey fellow activists and organizers,

Wow, it really feels like spring! Which of course means that we're making
plans for fun outdoor summer events. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves,
there are several great events coming up in April & May. Including our
always awesome Connecting for Justice on May
24<http://www.sojust.org/events/55668702/>.
This open house is a great way to get connected to like-minded progressives
and local social change organizations. Tell your favorite organizations
about it so they sign up for an Action Station and meet prospective
volunteers and supporters.

*Suicide Prevention Training for Community
Leaders*<http://www.suicidepreventionforleaders.eventbrite.com>
*Tuesday, May 8, 6:00-8:00PM*
City Year by Back Bay T

Oftentimes, community leaders are sought out for support in times of crisis
and are the first to become aware that someone is considering killing
themselves. To support my fellow community leaders, I'm offering a training
on how to deal with one of the hardest topics faced by any community. For
the purpose of these trainings, I've defined "community leader" as anyone
who regularly convenes groups of people. If that's you, I hope you'll join
me. If not, please share this with a community leader in your life. Attend
this training to gain the skills to handle the "suicide question" and
become knowledgeable about local resources for you and your community.*
Register at **www.suicidepreventionforleaders.eventbrite.com*<http://www.suicidepreventionforleaders.eventbrite.com/>
*.** *Fee $10.


 For Justice,
Robbie
