REP for MN

STUDY GROUP
📚 Join us for our June Radical Study Group series! We will read about and discuss the theme Pleasure & Liberation, honoring our Black and brown q***r lineages just in time for Pride Month.
 
💜In this study group, we will discuss themes such as imperialism, anti-blackness, and criminalization to make sense of how different communities respond to violence. For June, we will look to q***r Black and brown authors writing on themes of pleasure, eroticism, love and joy to help understand and co-create a vision of what is possible.  

🪻This study group is hosted by REP’s Radical Ecosystem Pods team. We will gather in-person to collectively read and discuss a selected text. Our schedule dates are   
*  Tuesday, June 2nd 5-7 PM 
* Tuesday, June 9th 5-7 PM 
* Tuesday, June 16th 5-7 PM  

🌼No pre-reading or registration is required. Sessions will use the following agenda:   
1. Open the space at 5 PM  
2. Welcome & check-in at ~5:30 PM   
3. Group read aloud of text  
4. Discussion & reflection  
5. Closing at 7 PM

💜 Ever had questions about pods? Safety alternatives? How to handle conflict with a loved one or neighbor? Even if you just need someone in the community to connect with over shared values. 
  
⭐️We aren’t experts, therapists or miraculous problem fixers. We won’t have the answers to everything. We are, however, dedicated community members with time to listen and talk through your questions!
