COME TO THE COMMONS PRESIDENTS’ DAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2023. MONDAY

Beginning 2pm LIBERTY PLAZA Liberty and Division Streets Ann Arbor

Well, What would you do if you were in the Presidency?

Monday, February 20 2023 is a national holiday called Presidents’ Day

suggesting we look up to our leaders.

In actual democracy we are all in the leadership,

everyone is in the Presidency and has a voice

[laugh]

On the commons you are asked to assume your leadership responsibilities.

Our current President in the United States has us on the edge of nuclear war with Russia, pending war with China, still suffocating in a carbonized atmosphere, and witness to mind surrendering fascism. Whether in affordable housing, education, health care or whatever failing system one is in, the common experience is: the system is broken.

If you were in the Presidency, what would you do?

What advice would you offer into the Presidential leadership?

Consider it your Presidential Citizen Responsibility. Help is needed!!

Start thinking about this... like you are responsible. You are. Write notes to yourself

Talk with others and look around

Use the “open mic” to say your piece or think out loud

Sit at a table and write your letter, or an introduction to writing you may have brought.

Use the "People's Mailbox" to deposit your letter.

At 4pm, the mailbox will be opened, the letters will be collected and a work begun to weave words together to connect them all and express an Ann Arbor voice, diverse as it may be. And then, bundled in a package, it will be sent to the Office of the President .

(with copies to the media and others, as might seem appropriate.)

A “donation collector” will be passed to cover the postage, and any follow-up reply

Calendarer: Alan Haber inviting co-correspondents to extend invitations to participate
