Please join us this Sunday afternoon to learn about mutual aid and do asset mapping. Child care will be available.
Dean Spade writes that “mutual aid is the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world,” and that is exactly what this presentation and the work we will do together are about.
We’ll learn about what mutual aid can do, what it looks like, and how we can use our creativity to participate in it. We’ll also learn about what values can ground us spiritually in this kind of community-based work. Then we will work together to identify the assets we have as a community so we can take an inventory. This will allow us, as a community, to respond quickly to the needs of our members and the community.
