Kalamazoo City Commission Meeting
Join community members at the Kalamazoo City Commission meeting as we demand real action, not empty gestures. Change doesn’t come from waving a wand at the table of power——it comes from people showing up, speaking out, and forcing elected officials to act.
The City of Kalamazoo is making decisions that threaten our community and our values:
Encroaching on Asylum Lake and attempting to destroy a mature green space and natural water basin, worsening flooding risks.
Failing to adequately fund 24-hour shelters and mental health care, while continuing displacement of unhoused residents.
Refusing transparency about who holds power, including basic public accountability for officers.
Supporting surveillance expansion like Flock cameras while residents demand safety without criminalization.
Remaining silent — or complicit — as genocide and war are funded abroad and harm is inflicted at home.
We are calling on the City Commission to:
Officially denounce Resolution 2876
Stand with Palestine
Stop sweeps of unhoused people
Reject expanded surveillance in Kalamazoo
Protect land, housing, and human dignity
Hold city leadership accountable for decisions that cause harm
📍 241 W. South Street, 2nd Floor – Commissioners Chambers

This is about showing up — for our neighbors, our land, and our future. Bring a wand if you want. Bring your voice because it matters more.
Get out of your seat. Join the community doing the work.

America in Crisis National Walkout
NO BUSINESS AS USUAL. WE WALK OUT.
On January 20 at 2 PM, we are joining our community in the National Walkout. This is a coordinated, nationwide disruption to say clearly: we will not carry on as normal while fascism, state violence, and racial terror are normalized.
We are gathering at Rep. Bill Huizenga’s office to confront policies that fuel:
ICE violence and deadly enforcement
Mass deportations and family separation
Criminalization of migrants and unhoused people
The broader rise of authoritarianism and white supremacy
This walkout is about collective refusal. Refusal to work. Refusal to comply. Refusal to stay silent while lives are destroyed by policy choices made in our name.
No one is illegal on stolen land.
Stop the sweeps. Abolish ICE.
Fight fascism—here and now.
Bring signs. Bring friends. Walk out. Show up. History doesn’t move because people waited for permission—it moves because people disrupted the system together.

Sound the Alarm: Feed Gaza Now!
Join KNOW to demand an end to Israel’s U.S.-funded genocide in Gaza. The blockade is not just a war crime, it’s mass starvation, weaponized. Bring pots and pans and spoons to make noise for every child they’re starving. Make sure every member of Congress knows: THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING.

Hosted by Arts in Action and Kalamazoo Nonviolent Opponents of War (KNOW), this event brings together local artists, musicians, and activists to celebrate creativity as a form of resistance and care. “Samud” — meaning steadfastness in Arabic — is the spirit that sustains the Palestinian people in the face of oppression, and this event is a chance for our community to stand with that resilience. Come shop local art, enjoy live music, and connect with community members organizing for peace and justice. Every contribution — whether through art, donation, or presence — helps provide direct support to families rebuilding their lives right here in Kalamazoo.
