At this time last year, we came to you with “10 Reasons to Support the Jamaica Plain Forum.” The list ranged from silly (“Best Cheap Date in JP”) to sincere (“In economically stressful times, we need to come together”). One year later, both still hold true.
This year, we humbly request your support for one reason:The Jamaica Plain Forum offers free, dynamic, politically and culturally relevant programming with the goal of strengthening our neighborhood.
The forum fosters new ways of thinking about ourselves, our communities, our city and our globe.
Please consider making a secure online donation to the Jamaica Plain Forum. With your support, we look forward to a rousing and revelatory 2010 season.
A monthly contribution can both sustain our work throughout the year, and lessen the impact on your bank account. Consider an automatic donation of $10, $30, or $50 each month for 2010 by choosing the “recurring payment.” It’s the sustainable way to give back to your community.
See you at the Forum!
Sarah Schwartz Sax, Liz Wambui, and Chuck Collins
P.S. Here are a few highlights from our 2009 season.
- This fall we hosted a forum on organizing a local Common Security Club. It spawned several new self-help groups to learn about the changing economy, offer mutual aid and take social action.
- Throughout the season, we continued our Sustainability Series with skill-building workshops on topics ranging from Food Canning to Beekeeping and Container Gardening.
- In October, more than 350 of you came to hear Ralph Nader talk about his provocative novel “Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us.”
- We explored health care politics, militarism and mountain removal coal mining. On themes closer to home, we also co-hosted a forum about the history of Franklin Park and a candidates forum.
