Creating Change with our Kids

Project NIA

A workshop about  how caregivers and kids plug into this work during this critical moment.

Creating Change with our KidsThere’s a role for everyone in creating liberatory change. How can caregivers and kids plug into this work during this critical moment? In this workshop, you’ll learn ideas and access guidance for getting started in creating radical change in your communities, and you’ll brainstorm with other caregivers about how you can take action. Bio: zara raven is a Caribbean queer mama of Black and Arab descent. zara is a coordinator of the Philly Childcare Collective, working to create more intergenerational community organizing spaces, and the former coordinator of Queenie’s Crew, a program of Project NIA that supported children in learning to build communities of care without prisons or policing. zara loves reading books, roller skating, and making zines.December 10, 2024 - 6:30 to 8 pm ET/3:30 to 5 pm PT------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This workshop is part of a mini-series of workshops that offer an opportunity to answer the question that many people are asking: “How do I take action where I am?”These five 90-minute sessions happening in December &amp; January are intended to provide concrete ideas and steps that anyone can take. Each session is facilitated by long-time activists and organizers.The sessions will be offered as Zoom webinars, but we will not record them. A couple of days before each session, we will email a Zoom link to all registrants. Importantly, these workshops are appropriate for people who are new to activism and organizing. They will not be useful if you are a long-time activist and organizer because you’re already taking action.For the workshops, we will offer ASL interpretation and enable closed captions. We will have live captions for the January 8th workshop. A tech and access support person will be present throughout the event to attend to any emergent participant needs regarding Zoom and access.Each workshop is a standalone session, but it’s a good idea to register for Mapping Your Social Change Ecosystem as an introduction so that you can assess your skills and interests in activism and organizing.Please DO NOT register if you know you cannot attend. This is important. Space is limited. So please don’t register as a placeholder.These sessions are being offered at no cost to participants BUT this does not mean they are free. There are costs associated with putting together such a program (labor, tech, interpretation costs etc...). If you can make a donation, please do. Funds will cover the costs of ASL. We will donate any surplus funds to <a href="https://www.mightycause.com/story/Rebuild25" title="https://www.mightycause.com/story/Rebuild25" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">REBUILD</a>.IMPORTANT NOTE: If you make a donation, that counts as one ticket so you do not also have to register for a free ticket. It's either a free ticket OR a donation one.Here is the list of workshops.
