Week Three: We Take Care Of Each Other

River Molloy Zinzi Buchanan River MacAskill

We will bring an array of offerings related to the question: how can we take care of ourselves and one another, when we can’t trust state systems to take care of us? Come as you are and bring anything that adds to your comfort.
