U.S. Civil War

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).

On Saturday, March 28, Americans in Barcelona — together with concerned locals and citizens from around the world — will once again join millions across the U.S. and around the world in a coordinated day of action to say loud and clear: ### **No Tyrants. The power belongs to the people.** The U.S. Administration continues to escalate its attacks on democratic norms: undermining civil rights and social protections, manipulating voting rules for political gain, threatening free speech, targeting vulnerable communities, and concentrating power at the top. This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship — **and together, we choose democracy.** ### 📣 Join us in Plaça Sant Jaume at noon for a peaceful, powerful protest featuring: * Inspiring speakers, headlined by **[Reed Brody](https://www.hrw.org/about/people/reed-brody)** — international human rights lawyer and former New York State Assistant Attorney General * Music * Information on how to take action from abroad — including volunteers on hand to help Americans register to vote 🌍 **All nationalities welcome** - bring your friends, family, classmates, and colleagues. ☀️ **Rain or shine - we’ll be there.** Bring your SPF, a hat, or an umbrella just in case. 🪧 **Bring a sign** that expresses your voice - we will also have some extras to share. **⚠️ PLEASE NOTE ⚠️** **As SPAIN is a monarchy and *does* have a king, Democrats Abroad Barcelona will *NOT* be using the "No Kings" language, and we kindly ask that you please *NOT* bring signs with that phrase.** ### **🔊 Turn Up the Volume on Democracy** At our last protests, with 200+ attendees, our ***sound system*** wasn’t strong enough for everyone to hear. **We're raising funds for a better system** so every voice carries across the plaza. Donations will also help us provide **reflective vests** for our safety marshals, print **handouts**, and support ongoing **Get Out the Vote (GOTV)** efforts like **phonebanking** and **voter registration**. We’re all volunteers in DA, but our tools and materials aren't free. **Please consider donating today** to power our protest and organizing work. | [Donate Today](https://www.democratsabroad.org/es_donate) | | ------------ | | *** ### 🙌 Want to volunteer? Great — we need your help! * **Marshals (Safety Team)** ([Role description here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FgW0HaiAnkYhIYHZkfuSR_uanQfx0MqsOH-4uRgi1es/edit?usp=sharing)): help with crowd coordination, safety, and de-escalation (need \~20) * **Greeters** ([Role description here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UgRy83FGsAwRhfA_-9-9juGO5AP6dqoiukg01pKO8_Q/edit?usp=sharing)): outgoing, friendly volunteers needed to welcome attendees, hand out chants, promote DA, and share QR codes * **Outreach & Promotion:** social media, posters, flyers, emails * **Tech Lead:** sound system setup & backup * **Day-of Support:** transport materials to and from the plaza; hold the DA Barcelona banner; set up and take down the info table and stage area * **Photographers & Videographers:** document the protest #### **Can You Help With This?** * We’re looking for a small raised platform or sturdy step so speakers and performers can be seen by the crowd. Please let us know if you have one we can borrow. **Have another idea** — or not sure how you can help but know you want to? Let us know. **Email:** info-es-barcelona@democratsabroad.org *** ### 👕 Get your DA Barcelona or Vote From Abroad T-shirt Wear it to the protest and around the city. Proceeds support voter outreach, protest promotion, and other DA activities.

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!

WQC has weekly Thursday night social nights at the Westerville Java Central. Come and grab a coffee and connect with the community: low stakes, chill environment, and tasty drinks. No registration is required; come as you are.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081

It's happening again! **WHAT:** Free Improv Drop-in. No experience needed / beginner friendly! (18+ for now; plans for a "kids and parents" drop-in are in the works) **TIME & PLACE:** Sunday 1:30pm - 3pm Delaware Library - 84 E Winter St, Delaware, OH 43015 in the Community Room **WHAT TO BRING:** Punctuality, yourself, a good attitude, and a willingness to have fun and be a bit silly and goofy around others. That's it! **WHAT THIS IS:** A time for fun and exploration. We're going to do improv warm-up exercises and play silly improv games. Think of it as "dipping your toe" into improv comedy. **WHAT THIS IS NOT:** Deep improv training with scene work; a place of judgement or worrying what others think; a place where you're expected to know what you're doing. Please mention in the comments if you're planning on attending or use the "attending/interested" function; it really helps me plan the class depending on the amount of people participating. Feel free to comment / spread the word / message me if you have any questions. Thanks! ALSO: Please don't take the amount of people marked going as the # that will be there; I post this on FB groups, Reddit, and Nextdoor, so I always have at least 3 - 6 people for games. Join us!
