Description

Workshop description: When the systems that are supposed to take care of us are what harms us the most, how do we survive? As multiply marginalized people, we resist, we form our own communities of care, and we thrive by pulling each other through our worst times. Community care is essential, especially in times where our lives are threatened simply for existing. This model of care is beautiful because in showing up for each other, fewer of us are left outside of care or lost altogether. Community care is also hard because it requires a community of people intentionally giving to each other, sharing the labor among everyone, and making sure that we meet our own needs while also committing to not letting others’ needs go unmet. This interactive workshop will explore how we can bolster our communities of care so that we can survive and thrive.
