Connect & Reflect

Let’s get together over coffee and bagels before the holiday season starts in earnest. We need to pick up the pieces from the election and see where we are – individually and as a caring social justice organization. Some of us are still avoidant, some of us are vacuuming up the news and most of us are in between. Let’s start the conversation and help each other. Eventually, we’ll want to get to some sort of action. If ideas pop out now, great. If not, we’ll be better off for being together.

Saturday, Nov 30,9-11am WSEC Room 115.

Last room, second corridor from the Senior Center entrance under the awning. Room closest to the football stadium. Side door should be open. Coffee, tea and bagels provided.

Chelsea Human Rights Commission Openings.
Consider applying.
The HRC was formed in 2017 after the City of Chelsea passed its Non-Discrimination Ordinance. From the beginning, the City’s ordinance was even more inclusive than the Federal or State. The Human Rights Commission has five members and meets on the first Wednesday of the month at 7pm. The members serve 3 yr terms. The terms for two members are up in February. The HRC is the public-facing body for the non-discrimination ordinance and works to create programs that educate and promote equal access to all Chelsea’s resources. More information on the Commission’s Action Plan for 2024-25 and the Ordinance itself are here. If you live in the City, please consider becoming a member. The application is here. If you have any questions, please email the HRC or email OWOF. We’ll make sure a someone contacts you! This is an important part of the life of our City. Please consider being an active citizen!
