In partnership with Water & Power and Isaias Hernandez, Kate Weiner and Kailea Loften of Compassion in Crisis: Building Disaster-Resilient Communities will be facilitating a book talk on activating community during polycrisis.

This discussion is part of MUTUAL AID IS LOVE, an 18-city grassroots tour that seeks to transform Compassion in Crisis into a support service for community organizing.

“Activating Community” is also part of Earth Songs, a Water & Power series of performances and participatory workshops that highlights queer, trans, and BIPOC artists and educators working in land justice, somatic healing, and performance. One of the key elements of this program is connecting a network of already existing arts practitioners and educators with local environmental organizations and grassroots initiatives in Black, Brown, and Indigenous neighborhoods of East and South LA that have been historically underfunded and systemically excluded.

This is a free event. Copies of Compassion in Crisis will also be available for purchase.
