Bring a dish, bring a cake, or a party hat. bring yourself, probably not your kid this time. We love you, we appreciate you. Let's talk about mutual aid!
Here's a description of what we're screening:
The Elements of Mutual Aid - Chapter 1: Fire
Mutual aid is our spark of humanity that we must defend as those in power try to stomp it out. This chapter sets the series’ foundation: What is mutual aid, how is it different from charity, why is it at odds with those in power, and can it help sustain our resistance to oppression?
Meet supply distros in Detroit and Atlanta alongside unhoused families in Los Angeles reclaiming homes from the State.
Runtime: 54 min (https://theelementsofmutualaid.com/)
UPCOMING EVENTS!
Mutual Aging: Working Together To Plan For The Inevitable
Where: Orange County Library, 137 W. Margaret Lane
In this workshop, we will de-mystify and de-stigmatize aging and death. We will discuss ways to plan for them at any stage of life and with any income - for yourself, your loved ones, and your community members. We will provide a general overview of topics like estate planning, housing, staying engaged, and end-of-life planning and then make space for everyone to share, ask questions, and learn more. We hope this will be the first in a series, with subsequent sessions digging deeper into topics of interest.
