Manny’s
Manny's is a town hall, a village square, the place where anyone can meet and engage with civic leaders, elected officials, artists, activists, changemakers, and each other. Our hope is that what happens here will be the spark for you to get more involved. On any given day you can pop in and grab a hot cup of coffee, an ice cold beer, pile on to a comfy couch to watch a presidential debate or the results of an election, or to meet your local elected official, or to engage in a discussion on one of the major topics of the day. Manny's is a place of learning, but also a place to roll up your sleeves and do the work. We host fundraisers, weekly trash pickups to beautify the neighborhood, activist fairs, phone banking, and everything in between.
