On Thursday 12th August ASU organiser and members visited Mike Symon, member for Deakin, to discuss with him their Pay Equity campaign and get him to sign on to their Pay Equity Pledge. It's hard to believe but on average Australian women are paid 18 per cent less than men. The ASU has been fighting a campaign for that last 12 months to ensure that the pay gap is closed and are looking to Federal and State governments to support equal pay for community workers. In signing the Pledge Mike agreed “to work with my party to ensure that the services have the funds they need to meet the costs of equal pay without the need to cut services.”
Activists of all ages gathered for an afternoon of art, music and politics at our third Democracy Cafe in Mill Valley. This month, we looked into solutions to end gun violence, through a range of activities designed to inspire us to action. We started the day by making signs for the ‘March for Our Lives’ rally. We then sang along with the Freedom Singers. Marin County Supervisor Kate Sears led a group discussion on gun reform. Young singer Emma Spike performed songs of hope, and music director Reed Fromer led a final sing-along with some classic tunes about social change.
This free public event took place on Sunday, March 18th from 2 to 5pm, at the O'Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley. We were delighted to see many young people come make their own signs against gun violence, then stay to sing and talk with us.
Thanks to all our friends and neighbors who came to join their voices, minds and hearts to energize each other and create a better world. Kudos to our co-hosts Marilyn Price, Jennifer Tomkins, Rebecca Brackman, Grace Severtson -- and everyone who helped us organize this uplifting community event.
Democracy Cafe is a series of free creative and civic events led by Fabrice Florin and a growing community of activists and artists in Marin. We think making art, playing music and talking with people of all ages and backgrounds can build mutual understanding and engage us to take meaningful political action together.
Join your neighbors to make political art and music -- and keep democracy alive!

It is called a pamper pole! Go figure. You had to climb to the top and then stand on the top. Then jump. Keep in mind I did have a safety cord attatched to me. No safety net!
Lights For Liberty - Powell Street, San Francisco
July 12, 2019
From the organizers - "We are a coalition of people, many of whom are mothers, dedicated to human rights, and the fundamental principle behind democracy that all human beings have a right to life, liberty and dignity. We are partnering with national, regional and local communities and organizations who believe that these fundamental rights are not negotiable and are willing to protect them. On Friday July 12th, 2019, Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Detention Camps, will bring thousands of Americans to detention camps across the country, into the streets and into their own front yards, to protest the inhumane conditions faced by refugees. Meeting in San Francisco's Market Street at the Powell St. Cable Turnaround, San Francisco can join other cities across the country in this effort. “GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR, YOUR HUDDLED MASSES YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE.” - Inscription on the Statue of Liberty"
