CREATE: The Hartford Catholic Worker has been “working and praying for an end to violence and poverty.”  Instead of operating from the suburbs, they do their work from two houses on Clark Street. On March 13, 2018 they will be hosting a Poor People’s Campaign Art Build from 3 pm on, with singing and a potluck in the evening. This is an opportunity to make buttons and banners, and to build puppets and community. This is at 18 and 26 Clark Street.

STAND: The organizers say: “March For Our Lives is created by, inspired by, and led by students across the country who will no longer risk their lives waiting for someone else to take action to stop the epidemic of mass school shootings that has become all too familiar.” The march begins at Corning Fountain in Bushnell Park and ends with a rally at the Connecticut State Capitol on March 24, 2018. If you’re horrified by our nation’s political paralysis when it comes to gun violence, it would be worth listening to what those being terrorized by it have to say.

LAUGH: If you spend an hour each day wondering how we’ve gone from a society of the occasional Tupperware party, to one where we are constantly inundated on social media by friends, acquaintances, and former classmates hawking all manner of questionable things that none of them actually created, then PYTHAGOREX might be The Thing you need in your life. PYTHAGOREX is described simultaneously as “a legitimate business sketch show” and “an original pyramid scheme parody sketch show.” This is at Sea Tea Comedy Theater (15 Asylum Street) on March 10, 2018. Tickets are $10, but you can probably get in free if you rope in five of your friends.
