“I think if I had to put a finger on what I consider a good education, a good radical education, it wouldn't be anything about methods or techniques. It would be loving people first.”
Myles Horton
¡Charlemos! Let's Chat! Spanish Conversation Practice
Each week at the Manhattan Public Library in the Groesbeck Room, Derron, one of the Chapter Administrative Coordinators, will be leading a weekly Spanish conversation practice session for anyone who would like to improve or maintain their Spanish. All levels are welcome! We would love to have first-language speakers as well! This is a judgment-free and open space to speak Spanish and to be in community with others. (no on came last week, but I'll go a couple of more time just in case!)

MHK Fiesta Talento y Cultura
Matth, Noah, and Derron tabled at the MHK Friesta Taltento y Cultura, talking about the work our chapter and the National DSA are doing. The sights, smells, and sounds were all fantastic!

Bonfire 'n' S'mores!
Join the Flint Hills, Kansas Chapter of Democratic Socialists for a bonfire and s'mores. We will have vegan options available! Feel free to bring your own drink (preferably non-alcoholic), camping chair (but we will have some extras), and a camp-fire instrument. The location will be shared with those who RSVP the morning of Saturday, November 1.

The Steering Committee will meet this Thursday for its monthly meeting. All members are welcome to join the meeting. The meetings take place remotely.
CIVIC Meeting
The Community Involvement and Volunteer Initiative Committee met last Thursday to discuss directions for the committee and to understand the true meaning of organizing. For those interested in getting involved with CIVIC, your homework is to meet your neighbors. Join the discussion on Discord!
Community Garden Clean Up
The weather is turning cool and the garden has ceased its production of vegetables. Derron will be heading to the plot this Saturday to clean it up and get it ready for next spring. It should be a really nice day to be outside getting your hands dirty! The more folks who show up, the faster the work! If you are interested in joining Derron in cleaning up the plot, reach out to him!
