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
• Optional social time
There's no one right way to be an activist!
Our activism is limitless and takes on so many forms
from art, to writing letters to politicians,
to being strong advocates to creating care for our community members.
We do this work to secure human rights historically denied to the FD community, but also in service to all other social movements. 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.
