AKA

Saturday March 13th, 2-4pm @ AKA:

Join us for a FREE, hands-on workshop for individuals who would like to learn how to make their own reusable menstrual pads. The history of the feminine hygiene industry is one example of corporations attempting to exert control over women’s bodies through pressures to look and smell “clean” and “attractive” to men. Making your own menstrual pads is one way to assert your independence from the feminine hygiene industry, as well as reduce environmental impact, and save some money.

There will be childcare provided.

We appreciate registration via email to ensure space and supplies. Email groundswell@riseup.net and be sure to tell us if you will be bringing any children!

March 6th, 1-4pm, RSVP

Are you looking for a non-judgmental space to confront apprehensions about anti-racist activism, or to start a dialogue about discrimination in your life and work? Do you want to help fight racism, but aren’t sure where exactly to start?

This mini ‘How to be an Ally” workshop, hosted by the Queen’s Committee Against Racial and Ethnic Discrimination seeks to provide participants with the knowledge and understanding of tools and strategies that can be used to prevent discrimination and create schools and communities that welcome and value diversity.

We aim to provide a safe space for engagement with anti-oppression and offer suggestions for practical action to combat racism in your social networks.

Please join us to learn how we can all work together to build a more inclusive community!

Free admittance; all welcome! Snacks will be provided
