Embrace Space: Small Town Acts of Resistance

Small Town Acts of Resistance: A Live Community Forum – Learning to Practice Life-Affirming Love Together

Date: May 29th, 2025

Time: 6-8 PM

Location: headquarters (hq)

"An evening of community, courage, and connection"

In a world too often defined by division, invites you to step into a space where love becomes resistance and community becomes power.

Join us this May for Embrace Space, a live community forum where voices from our own neighborhoods come together to share stories, insights, and real-life practices of radical, life-affirming love. Our theme, Small Town Acts of Resistance, highlights how the simplest acts—checking on a neighbor, starting a garden, mentoring a youth, speaking truth in hard spaces—can be powerful tools for change.

We’ll hear from a small group of Richmond’s humble heroes already doing the work. Through their stories, we’ll explore how each of us can show up with purpose, compassion, and everyday courage.

Come ready to listen, learn, and leave inspired to act. Whether you’re a lifelong local or new to the neighborhood, this gathering is a safe space to be seen, to connect, and to discover how your small acts can carry a big impact.

Let’s remind the world what love can do—one small act at a time.

Headquarters (hq) is a queer owned-third space + social society in the heart of Forest Hill.

Our mission is to hold a unique space for all of the things that fulfill us as people- personally, professionally and within our community. Our vision is to grow and sustain a community of impact-oriented coaches, creatives and change makers.
