    **We are now featuring a “Little Activist Corner” – bring your little ones with you to the meeting. **

    [Macomb Defenders Rising’s](https://www.macombdefenders.com) mission is to build a movement in Macomb County that counters authoritarian threats, strengthens and engages the community, and shifts local culture to embrace progressive values and make political participation the norm. Through our work, we aim to create a ripple effect that influences state-level change and, ultimately, shapes national policy and culture.

    **New faces are always welcome!**

    **🗓️ March MDR Monthly Meeting Agenda:**

    Join us for a meet-the-candidate night. With the upcoming April 19 MDP Convention, we want to make sure candidates have an opportunity to connect with members before the convention.

    *NOTE:* Beginning in April, our meetings will shift back toward the activism, organizing, and issue-focused programming we centered last year. We will continue to welcome candidates, but they will not be the primary focus again until we move further into election season.

    We’re excited to balance electoral engagement with the grassroots work that powers it.

    *A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*
