Staying engaged with the news, organizing, protecting our communities, and doing what we can to survive can be overwhelming. With everything going on, how do we stay present without burning out? Joy as a Tool Against Oppression invites participants to strengthen their relationship with what personally fuels them in the fight against oppression, centering what forms of life and joy they aim to preserve, amplify, and reconnect with. To facilitate the conversation, we will be screening Flower in the Concrete, a 5-minute short film about Los Angeles residents on an ongoing fight to protect their homes and community from displacement by luxury developments and Olympic-driven gentrification. We will then engage in a guided reflection and a group discussion for anyone willing to share.
