Calling Up Justice is producing what we need. We are a week past the US presidential election results being announced. As our communities face the likelihood of increased racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, imperialist, xenophobic, and ableist policies, it is more vital than ever that we come together to support, care for, defend, and uplift each other. We are grateful to our community, networks, and justice based projects that allowed us to immediately respond. We have already participated in several actions with national impact.

• We spent election night inside the Digital Encampment in spaces designed to allow us to self regulate by dissociation or hyperfixating on numbers as they came in. https://callingupjustice.com/election-night-gathering/
• We had great processing space in our Liberation Meditations and have generated a number of great ideas for community building, power sharing, and prepping ourselves for the coming times.
• The Network of Ensemble Theaters met to craft a statement for our members.
• In CripCreate folks supported each other with a singalong room with rousing protest music and musical theater numbers.
• Maiamama has kept our pleasure activism live streaming spaces activated.
• We attended a great processing spaces produced by Curiosity Paradox and another from Aviva Arts. One focused on the access check-in and the other involved movement exercises.
• We are also re-connected to our Ghostlight Project network and we are activating to create more spaces for us to organize.

Jesenia has returned from Guatemala and the [Di]vergent for Community project that came out of relationships built in justice producers serving our neurodiverse community. Mouthwater Dance AD is touring and Jesenia will be traveling to support. Maiamama is celebrating a birthday week so we have Trek Talk on hold until next week. Send her a positive birthday message. She did an amazing job editing our latest bootcamp where we shared booking keeping skills for neurodiverse business owners. You can access this 101 style training now and also we are working with Nathaneal to create a more preschool version of the workshop. We’re passionate about accessible skill-building. Claudia is in national spaces helping people process, build capacity, and plan the events we will need. We’re continuing to recruit and say yes to more positive relationships.

Thank you for your continued support of our network building, education, and cultural producing. If you know someone who needs our tools or to access our practices please share our website with them.
