Solar Powered Printing!
Aug 5 @ 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm

The Sun Print Solar Paper lets you make beautiful pictures by placing objects on the paper and exposing it to the sun. Place a fern, flower, or other object on this special paper and set it in the sun briefly. We will rinse the paper in water and watch as a beautiful long-lasting image appears!  The paper undergoes a chemical change when exposed to sunlight. Save the print by soaking in water then drying.

“Know Your Sheriff” with the ACLU
Aug 23 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm

An educational presentation from the ACLU of Massachusetts, in partnership with Decarcerate Western Mass. Learn more about the roles that MA Sheriff’s play and what decision-making powers the job holds. This program does not endorse any candidate and is presented for educational purposes only. Representatives from the ACLU will share the presentation and answer questions from attendees. Please register to receive a Zoom link to the program.

From the ACLU:

Sheriffs have the power to make our communities safer and more just for all—but most Massachusetts voters don’t even know who their sheriff is.
It’s time to change that. It’s time to Know Your Sheriff. 

Know Your Sheriff is a public education campaign by the ACLU of Massachusetts to build voter awareness about the life-changing decisions that sheriffs make. Polling shows that many voters are not familiar with sheriffs—but when they learn more, they are more likely cast a ballot for sheriff in the next election.  Knowing your sheriff means knowing that YOU have the power to demand safer communities and a more just criminal legal system.
