Do you feel the need to take action on an issue that is important to you? Are you looking to create structure and intention to take collective action? Weaving Our Worlds invites you to a workshop with a guest facilitator about how to start a political collective, where you can reflect, dream and build. Bring your comrades with whom you are wanting to take action, or come and meet someone new. A diversity of collectives can be important building blocks for a healthy political ecology, multiplying opportunities for politicization and engagement. There is never a perfect time, but it’s always the right time to start something!
