Hey fellow activists and organizers,

Glad for the rain, but brrr! It's chilly out there. Never fear, summer is
going to be here before you know it. We'll have Beach for Justice and
Recess for Justice and... 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.

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.*

 For Justice,
Robbie
