Who's ready for this week's Drinking Liberally - Monthly Meetup @ The Meanwhile?!?

Our host is fired up after a trip to Minneapolis for this year's annual meeting of Drinking Liberally leaders. Come hear all about the amazing things going on across the nation with DL chapters and their hosts, and discussions of Grand Rapids hosting the next one!

The trip was a whirlwind of great experiences, from the awesome guest speaker, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, to joining the local chapter for their own gathering. Even a somber and heavy visit to George Floyd Square was a huge motivator for all of the change we seek.

See you Thursday!

What an amazing night for Progressive movements in Grand Rapids, and our beautiful state!

Congrats to Abbie Groff-Blaszak for this decisive win, and thanks for coming to hang out with us and speak with voters at Drinking Liberally's Grand Rapids chapter! We were honored to be part of your connection to the community you serve.

Thanks, also, to Ivan Diaz for Michigan Senate for visiting and connecting all the same, and for playing a part in making your D29 election a true spectrum of ideals and conversation.

Oh, and thanks to Phil Skaggs for almost accidentally showing up that one time.

Groff-Blaszak will challenge Republican Brady Middleton in the November general election.

We just wanna thank Senator Mitch McConnell for crossing the aisle and stopping by tonight to show the nation that he's alive and well! 😏

Bad Bunny got you fired up? After a phenomenal Halftime show at the Super Bowl, we're feeling big-melting-pot-energy, and next week brings two fun ways to get together and celebrate! We will see you at The Meanwhile on Thursday the 19th, as usual!

FA LA LA LA LOL - Holiday sweaters and silly hats tomorrow night at The Meanwhile!

Join us at 6pm Thursday at The Meanwhile for our final meetup of 2025!

We're encouraging everyone to grab that infamous ugly sweater or throw on a silly Santa hat (or both!) and feel free to bring a party game or come prepared to join in on one. We'll hang out and put a really tough year of political reality behind us as we share some laughs, play some games, and throw a couple back as we close in on 2026.

We can't wait to see all you "misfit toys" at the bar!
