In a year that has exposed and reaffirmed a multitude of ways our societies and systems cause harm, how do we heal? This event will bring together diverse speakers to discuss how activism, as a language of community-care, is an ever-evolving and diverse tool to enact change. This discussion addresses intersectional and nuanced questions around organizing and engaging in activism during a time of forced isolation.
