Fri, Feb 3 2012: Activist Burnout, Self-care, and Survival in a Radical Community

Activist Burnout, Self-care, and Survival in a Radical Community

Friday, February 3 , 7-9pm. RSVP required.

The cause of our involvement and dis-involvement in organizing is rooted from our individual turbulence, although its easy to attack ourselves for the inability to transform through activism. How do we critique our communities and tackle challenges without creating additional harm? How could we feel safe enough to fall apart, while believing we’ll have the space to rise above again?

This event’s host, Gloria’s Palace, is a palace in Bedstuy, Brooklyn that’s housed throngs of queers and queens since 2007. She was born from the ashes of The Den of Sin, exactly a year ago, when the ghost of Gloria (the duchess of razzle dazzle’s deceased iguana) began her saturn return. Gloria’s is home to frogs, fish, femmes, drawings/ feelings, sex educators, sex themed home scents, pop-punk, salsa, merengue, and deep talks on deeply destroying the patriarchy behind the rev.

To attend an event at Gloria’s, send an RSVP with your name, a friendly message, and which event(s) you’re attending to annad1039@gmail.com. Guests and friends are welcome! Capacity: 30.
