About the Series

Although an ad-hoc and individual effort, this series stems from oh so many conversations about the desire to create opportunities for individuals and/or groups across diverse social movements to learn and develop certain critical tools and training. These few workshops in particular aim to provide a space where those who have gained specialized skills and knowledge (sometimes through the privilege of formal training) are able to share them with and within communities of resistance to utilize as they see fit in their daily organizing efforts. These workshops are of course in no way comprehensive; they are simply a start to the many possibilities that could happen.

All welcome, so please come out! Space will be limited since these are workshop format, so please register early. For registration, questions, feedback, or if you're interested in developing future ideas please contact hwalia8@gmail.com or call 778 885 0040.
