Waukesha Mutual Aid Network Community Meeting

Date: March 5, 2026

Attendance:  Approx. 20 – Hope you can make the next meeting!

Meeting Notes

  • Discussed moving our main discussions to Discord or Signal Chat. Discord is for more general discussions and Signal is for more specific planning – please contact Amethyst if you need more info on how to join those groups. We will still have the facebook group and public page.
  • June 3rd is National Bicycle day and we are discussing on hosting a community bike repair event at either Cutler or Frame Park. To get involved, get in contact with Max or Lindsey.
  • We are also looking to do something for Pride in June…possibly in conjunction with the bicycle event. Reach out to Amethyst if you’d like to help with planning.
  • Earth day is coming up in April and there is park clean up through the Park and Rec and we will coordinate a team from our group for those who’d like to participate
  • Please consider bringing more fresh produce to the food share – produce like potatoes, carrots, squash, apples, orange are more durable. Produce goes very fast at our events.
