Sunrise Movement Supporter Circles
~
University Friends Meeting's Peace & Social Concerns Committee is seasoning a proposal to form a "Supporters' Circle" for the local Sunrise groups. Here's an excerpt from a Sunrise Movement planning document:
What is a Supporter Circle?
Supporter Circles are local groups of 5-15 people, consisting of folks who are 35+. Supporter Circles meet weekly to lend their support to the Sunrise Movement. Anyone over the age of 35 can sign up to host a small group of people in their community through the six-week program.
How it works: Supporter Circles work together to support the movement to demand the Green New Deal. Supporter Circle members do two things each week: Meeting (and discussing weekly readings, like a book club!) and Supporting. "
