About this Event
Many of us are feeling tremendous fear, exhaustion, and grief. One way of resisting the cruelty and chaos of the current moment is to gather, process what’s happening, and identify actions we can take to protect the people and values that are integral to the communities we care about.
Please join us for an evening of expression, creation, and activism, featuring short readings in response to the current moment by writers and community leaders, and information on what you can do right now from local organizations.
Featuring readings from
Samaa Abdurraqib + Abdi Nor Iftin + Reza Jalali + Rylan Hynes + Nick Fuller Googins + Hannah Matthews + Frankie Tran + Chelsea Conaboy + Samara Cole Doyon + Sampson Spadafore + Dania Bowie + Brandon Ying Kit Boey + more
With information tables from:
The ACLU of Maine + EqualityMaine + SAFE Maine + Brazen Bandits + more
There will also be:
- Opportunities to jot down and reflect on the moment and strategies for persisting (and to share or not share as desired)
- Drinks, snacks, and community.
- Tears and laughter are welcome!
Show up and be in the room. This act of solidarity is bigger than it sounds.
