Spades isn't just a card game. 🖤
It's the table where grandma let you sit when you finally got old enough. It's the cookout soundtrack — trash talk, laughter, somebody accusing their partner of not following suit. It's the moment you learn to read a room, trust a partner, and hold your bid.
Spades is a whole love language in the Black community. And we're bringing it to Juneteenth weekend in Anchorage.
Stand UP in SPADES!!
📅 Fri June 19 | 4–6 PM — Beginners Night
📅 Sat June 20 | 2–4 PM — Expert Tournament

Something doesn't add up. 💰
You're working harder. Prices keep rising. And somehow — the people at the top keep getting richer.
So what do WE do about it?
The Alaska Civics Academy is back with our next session: Follow THE MONEY — Common Sense Economics, a free 90-minute community training in partnership with the Alaska AFL-CIO.
We'll break down how economic power actually works — and more importantly, how working people build it back.
📅 Tuesday, June 16th
🕕 6:00 – 7:30 PM
📍 Bernie's Bungalow, Anchorage
💵 FREE — light appetizers provided
We'll cover:
📊 Why your paycheck doesn't stretch like it used to (and it's not your fault)
🏦 How billionaire wealth grows while worker wages stagnate
✊ How unions and organizing actually build power
🛒 The history of economic protest — boycotts, buying Black, and more
📋 Local resources and steps YOU can take right now
Seating is limited. All are welcome. Pull up a chair.
