The World to Come, inspired by Angela Davis on Radical Self Care
“It’s very dangerous not to recognize that as we struggle, we are attempting to presage the world to come. And the world to come should be one in which we acknowledge collectivity and connections and relations and joy. And if we don’t start practicing collective self-care now, there’s no way to imagine, much less reach, a time of freedom.”
FUNDRAISER – This event will be a fundraiser for the Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund.
https://gascf.org/. All proceeds will go to the Children's Fund, which is dedicated to the children of Gaza & Lebanon: providing medical attention to the children who need it the most and helping to relieve the medical sector.
The first initiative for the Fund, under the expert guidance of Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah, is the transportation of critically injured children with their caretakers from Palestine to Lebanon, where they can receive the best possible medical, psychological, and social care, before returning home to Palestine where they will continue their recovery.
