SUMMARY:Sierra Club Meeting: Solidarity With Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Sierra Club Climate monthly meeting on Tuesday\, February 3\, as we focus on solidarity with people in Minneapolis who are facing fear\, disruption\, and injustice in their communities. \nSocial injustice is climate injustice. The intersectionality of immigration injustice and climate injustice compounds harm to affected folks. \nImmigration is a climate issue\, as more and more fathers and mothers are fleeing drought-ravaged homes in search of anywhere they might can feed their families.\nProtecting democracy is a climate issue\, because our work—already challenging—becomes vastly more difficult if it is replaced by tyranny.\nAttacks on vulnerable communities\, civil rights\, and democracy undermine the trust and collective action we need to solve the climate crisis. \nAt this meeting\, we will hear directly from people who live at ground zero in Minneapolis\, as well as others who have been on the ground protesting and supporting affected communities. We are honored that Rev. Carrie Holley-Hurt will join us\, along with several Minneapolis residents\, to share what they have witnessed and how we can stand in solidarity. \nEvent details \nTuesday\, February 3\nPotluck begins: 6:30 pm (come even if you can’t bring food)\nProgram begins: 7:00 pm \nLocation:\nFirst Unitarian Universalist Church of Austin\n4700 Grover Ave.\nAustin\, TX \nZoom option: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5133069449 \nDuring the program\, we will: \n\nHear firsthand perspectives from Minneapolis\nOffer encouragement and solidarity to our guests\nOffer emotional support to one another\nDiscuss what we can do if similar events occur in Austin\nAsk everyone to call their U.S. Senators\nInvite donations to support people who are afraid to leave their homes and need tangible help\n\nThis will be a meaningful evening of connection\, learning\, and action. Please come if you can\, and feel free to invite others who care about justice\, democracy\, and climate.

SUMMARY:Better World Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Feeling disconnected or overwhelmed and wondering what to do about it? This monthly book club is for people to engage with works on morality\, philosophy\, economics\, sustainability\, and degrowth among others. The goal is to better understand the world and our role in changing it. \nEach month\, I’ll also spotlight a local nonprofit and volunteer opportunity to help connect our conversations with real-world actions. The idea is that not everyone will be passionate about every topic but everyone will hopefully be passionate about some topic. \nWe will be meeting on the 4th Thursday @anisdayandnight at 7pm! The wonderful @pricklypearbookbus which is on-site will have books stocked to buy in person or online! \nI truly believe that in the fight for a better world\, every thoughtful conversation and every small act matters and this my step towards change\, I hope you join me! \nOur first book on Sept 25th will be The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Words are powerful and this book explores the power of stories and how they shape reality through three intertwining essays. \nYou can be a part of the discussions if you’ve read the whole book\, a couple of pages or none at all but are simply interested in the topic. @pricklypearbookbus will have copies available online and in person! They are kind enough to give a discount if you buy through them! ‍↕️ \nI will also have journalists and poets come to share their real life experiences of the importance of writing and telling stories that matter! Amy Stansbury from The Austin Common will be one of our guest speakers.

This event will be held at Austin Clay Arts (not DAWA HQ).  \nRecess for Revolution is a community resource hub dedicated to radical acts of resistance such as practicing mutual aid\, skill-sharing\, and civic engagement. Recess is facilitated by a diverse coalition of community organizers who are devoted to learning from and supporting local advocates\, value-aligned organizations\, and those directly impacted by oppressive systems. \nAs climate disasters intensify and political instability deepens\, protecting our communities requires us to collectively take direct action. Through in-person gatherings\, teach-ins\, and online resources\, our goal is to educate and empower allies within our community to take part in the transformative work that is building a resilient and liberated future for us all. \n“Refuse to abandon vulnerable people. Build a rebellious culture of care.”  – Kelley Hayes\, \n\n\n4:00 – 6:00 PM Community Social (outdoor) \n\n\n6:00 – 7:00 PM Teach-In: Supporting + Showing Solidarity with the Unhoused Community (indoor\, mask required) \n\n\n7:00 – 7:30 PM Social Wrap Up \n\n\nSCHEDULE WITH ALL PARTICIPATING ORGS TO BE POSTED 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO RECESS. \n  \n\nAbout Climate Week ATX  \nAustin\, Texas\, is cranking up the heat (in a good way) with its first-ever Climate Week!

SUMMARY:City of Austin Career Expo
DESCRIPTION:The City of Austin is hosting its 14th Annual Career Expo on April 2\, 2025. This event is intended to help build a stronger community by providing opportunities for local employers to connect with talent to fill critical vacancies and help job seekers find that perfect job/career opportunity. \nJob Seekers will have opportunities to meet face-to-face with company representatives. This year\, the City launched a new contingent hiring pilot program in January which allows departments to conduct interviews and extend contingent job offers on-site during recruiting events. There are close to 90 different job titles included in the program in areas such as accounting\, customer service\, finance\, human resources\, healthcare\, engineering\, and various operations type jobs.  \nSeveral City departments will be participating in Career Expo and there will be opportunities for job seekers in attendance to be interviewed on the spot during the event and potentially be offered a job. Any offers would be contingent upon passing any required background checks and assessments. \nShowcase presentations by local employers will also be happening throughout the day during the event and will feature tips for job seekers. We encourage job seekers to bring copies of their resume to share with prospective employers and decide in advance which employer booths they would like to visit. \nMore than 100 employers are expected to be in attendance\, including private employers\, state agencies\, higher education\, technical schools\, temporary agencies\, many smaller businesses with skilled labor and customer service job openings\, and City of Austin departments. \nJob seekers can RSVP here.
