Community members and leadership are invited to come to learn, share ideas and concerns, and discover how they can assist in combating the ongoing challenge of food insecurity and its related issues.

Join us for a Climate Strike event in beautiful downtown Naperville at the Free Speech Pavilion (500 Jackson Ave., Naperville, IL 60540) on Friday, Sept. 20th from 3:30-6:00 PM. This is the international day for a climate strike to draw attention to the looming crisis. The event is being held later in the day, but the idea behind the “strike” is that people are supposed to take time off work or school to demonstrate the importance of doing something about the crisis. Please feel free to stop by at anytime - bring a sign!

The US healthcare system is broken. We pay more for healthcare than any other country, yet millions of people are uninsured or under-insured and can't get the lifesaving care they need.

If you are interested in growing Medicare For All / Single Payer Healthcare movement, please come with your comments and questions. We will watch this 58 minute film and follow with a discussion of how you can participate in creating a healthier nation.
