After attending the OFC Free Palestine Virtual Protest, Dee from Black Phoenix Organizing Collective (BPOC) reached out to collaborate. From there we quickly pulled together combining their next event Coffee & Convos. We invited members of the One Free Community People of the Global Majority (aka BIPOC) affinity group to join in the first hybrid meeting!
Coffee & Convos
About this Space:
This is a once a month event is hosted by BPOC. The space is meant to hold space for abolitionist workers, community organizers, and social justice producers. The conversation is to give space to process, grieve, and have communal self care where black and brown voices are amplified. Coloring books are provided for activate listening. This space will be PRIORITIZING Black and Brown voices.
