What To Expect
If you're new to community activism, don't worry...you're not alone! The word "activism" can sound daunting, but really, all it means is that through connecting and forming friendships with each other, we find our power to make change in the world. Here's what a meeting might look like:
Schedule:
• Community check-in/icebreaker
• Discussion on topic of the day
• Celebrate our work!
• Optional social time
There's no one right way to be an activist!
It can mean writing letters to lawmakers or making phone calls. It can mean working on art or writing an op-ed. It can mean using the time to focus on self-love and self-care, or even just tackling your personal to-do list....because loving and nurturing ourselves is the most radical form of resistance. Activism is limitless and can take on so many forms depending on where you're at on any given day! And, if you're active in other social movements, you can bring that work, as well! Collective liberation means we cannot limit ourselves to a single issue.
Our time together is short, but it certainly packs a punch! We hope you will leave feeling like you are part of a powerful community that is inviting, nurturing, and has the capacity to change the world.
