Later that day, MAC and community organizations will carry out a banner drop at 5:00 PM at the Locust Street Bridge, marking the public kickoff of the campaign.

Additional events throughout the month include an AWAN webinar and community gathering on January 11, a phone zap and forum on political repression on January 14, a teach-in on Venezuela on January 17, and a One Year Later March and Rally on January 20 at Zeidler Union Square.
