SUMMARY:Cancelled: BRAVE Communities Connection - Misinformation and Anti-Immigration
DESCRIPTION:Please note – this event has been cancelled. Follow BRAVE Communities on Facebook for any additional updates.  \nHow to avoid mis- and dis- information and build a more compassionate\, inclusive\, and welcoming community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“If we learn nothing else from this tragedy\, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.” ~ Sandy Dahl\, wife of Flight 93 pilot Jason Dahl\, in Shanksville\, Pennsylvania \nJoin us for a meaningful BRAVE Communities Connection on Sunday\, September 8th\, 2-4pm. This special event will feature a moving musical performance by Bidita Majumdar\, a Senior at Westwood High School\, followed by a deeply engaging panel discussion that resonates with the challenges immigrants are experiencing from xenophobia and changing policies. \nOur panelists will share more about changing policies and how prejudice and bullying continue to affect immigrant communities. This conversation will be particularly relevant for young people as we examine how to fight these injustices with empathy\, understanding\, and action. \nIn light of recent anti-immigrant attacks in the UK and the 23rd anniversary of 9/11\, the panel will also delve into the dangerous effects of mis- and disinformation. With the constant barrage of social and political ‘noise’ in today’s world\, it’s vital that we learn how to protect our mental health and be sure we are listening to facts. \nThis event is not just a reflection on the past but a call to action for the future. We invite the community\, especially young people\, to join us in this important dialogue. Together\, we can build a more compassionate and resilient society. \nThank you to Homeslice Pizza – authentic NY style pizzas for providing us with pizzas at this event\, We All Belong\, and YSA for helping to #MakeATXBRAVE. \n————————————————————————————————————————————————————— \nOur BRAVE Young Leaders\, a cohort of 14-24 years old agents of change\, are leading their peers to participate in the “September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance (9/11 Day)” and preparing gratitude cards and gift baskets to their local EMS and fire stations. By serving in their community helps transform 9/11 into a day of unity\, empathy\, and service\, and extends the spirit of togetherness and compassion. Please consider donating any amount to help us provide gift baskets to our local EMS and fire stations that we will deliver on September 11th.

SUMMARY:September 2024 Fix-It Clinic
DESCRIPTION:What’s a Fix-It Clinic?\nIs there a fallen hem in your favorite shirt? Did your blender stop working? Is your child’s toy a little worse for the wear? Bring these items and more to a local Fix-It Clinic to learn how to fix your broken items from skilled volunteer coaches — for free! \nWhile we can’t guarantee your item will be fixed\, coaches will guide you through how the item works and what you may need for repair. Attendees are expected to actively participate and stay with their items during the repair process. \nCan’t make it to the clinic? \nDrop off your broken item at the Cepeda Branch Library (651 N Pleasant Valley Rd)\, September 6-12\, and our volunteers will try to fix it for you. Then you can pick it up from the Cepeda Branch\, September 16-21. We cannot guarantee that your item will be fixed\, and items not picked up by closing time on September 21 will be donated. This program is first-come\, first-served\, and there are a limited number of drop-off slots available. A signed waiver is required to participate. No bikes or oversized items. \nIf you plan to drop off an item\, you do not need to reserve a ticket on EventBrite. \nWhat should I bring? \nYour broken item(s) and a desire to improve your repair skills! You may bring up to two items. Sewing machines and other tools will be available for you to use\, but you can also bring your own machines and tools if you prefer. Please bring any replacement part\, missing button\, fabric patch\, matching thread or other material you might need to help you fix your item. \nAt this Fix-It Clinic\, you can learn how to fix almost anything! Including: \n\nClothing\nJewelry\nAccessories\nToys\nSmall Appliances\nElectronics\nBikes\n\nWho can attend? \nAll ages are welcome\, but children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
