With all of the chaos going on in the world, you might find yourself wanting to do something — anything — to have your voice heard. Anyone can learn how to get a movement started, which a social justice expert delves into at a Saturday morning art workshop.
Or let loose a bit and unwind with a local comedy night or farmers market. However you’d like to spend your weekend, Montgomery County has options.
