 The Grand Rapids Activist Calendar is a new website and email list that aims to make it easier both for progressive and left groups to promote their events and for people interested in social change to find out what is happening in Grand Rapids.
The calendar--which launched on Sunday, March 8, 2010--is an effort aimed at filling the void that currently exists in Grand Rapids. There are many event calendars in the city, but few that focus exclusively on progressive/left events. The Grand Rapids Activist Calendar aims enhance organizing efforts by creating new and strengthening existing ties in the Grand Rapids community through mutual solidarity in our struggles.
At the core of the calendar is a weekly email list that will be sent out to subscribers. Each week the Grand Rapids Activist Calendar will send out a list of upcoming lectures, protests, documentaries, rallies, and meetings with the goal of building the progressive movement in Grand Rapids.
