Here’s what’s coming up:
🗣️ Evans Churchill Community Meeting
When: Wednesday, Oct. 14, 6-7 p.m.
Where: Formation Brewing
“Join us in conversation with Barry [S]chwartz, resident of the Emerson house to speak about how the historic home was saved from demolition. Also, Artlink to discuss the call for muralists at the Garfield substation and Esteban Barron will be giving insight on his painting process for his upcoming day of the dead exhibition at the Central arts market at Joy on Third Friday.”
🗳️ No Kings: Vote Early
When: Saturday, Oct. 17
Where: Locations across Arizona
“[O]rganizers say the emphasis will be on getting people to vote early, making voting plans and election-protection efforts, while local communities can still hold rallies, marches, visibility events, block parties, walks to the polls, canvassing and other gatherings. The organizers describe the Oct. 17 events as nonpartisan voter-participation activities intended to encourage eligible voters to participate, rather than simply another nationwide protest.”

💰 YMCA Tenants Benefit Show
When: Sunday, Oct. 25, 8 p.m.
Where: Linger Longer Lounge
