Muncie Economic Empowerment will continue its Cooperative Power educational series with its second presentation on the unique ways to identify local resources and how to coordinate those resources to keep wealth within Muncie's borders. Join us to learn more about existing local wealth, building upon our city's vast resources, and creating change to fight local poverty.

At the Delaware County Courthouse in Downtown Muncie members of Muncie's communities will gather to discuss and pay our respects to victims of violence and injustice. 

It is paramount that we explore our means of preventing such disasters locally.

If you would like to speak at the event, please contact Kentory Akai or you will have a couple minutes after the moment of silence to share your thoughts (soapbox).

*Please remember that this is a vigil and we should respect those who have suffered from violence and injustice with both our bodies and our words.*

Proceeds donated to SCSA will fund "Write Your Legislator Day" an event that teaches students how to constructively voice their opinions to their legislators.

On November 14th and 15th Students for Creative Social Activism is hosting Write Your Legislator Days (WYLD) in the Atrium. Come in for some expert guidance on how to effectively go from being concerned about an issue, to contacting the correct elected official with your concerns.

The goal of the WYLD event is to show everyone that they have the ability to make their opinions heard to their representatives. We believe that every student should graduate ready to be active and informed citizens. We will have tables set up in the Atrium with information on how to research legislation, legislators, and effective writing. 

A huge thank you to the Ball State University Democrats and the Ball State College Republicans for working with us to make this event a success!
