Be Heard, Have Fun, Drink Cocoa (sledding optional) on Valentine's Day! The friends of Jamie Hill (candidate US Congress District 2) are hosting a Free Family Fun Day because we want to challenge the expectation that we have to pay to be heard by our representatives.

Everyone of all ages is invited to drop in to the Warming Lodge at Branstrom Park in Fremont from 2:30-6:00 on Saturday, February 14, 2026.
Bring your sleds to the amazing sledding hill and then warm up with hot cocoa, coffee, snacks and fun activities for all ages!
Enjoy fireside Q & A with a hard-working resident of Fremont who is ready to Represent with open ears and take each and every voice to Washington DC.

Marx in Soho is a long-running, single-actor stage play by the lauded American historian Howard Zinn.

Actor Bob Weick performs as Karl Marx, who is returning from the past to examine the world since his departure. It deals with themes of power, wealth, and inequality, along with showcasing unique ways to learn about history. For more information about the play itself, please visit: https://www.marxinsoho.org/

A panel discussion after the play will help answer questions, add historical context, and reflect on themes of human rights and history.

Sometimes all you need to ground yourself is your breath, your senses, and a moment to slow down.
