As the new year begins, there is so much to do to support and protect our communities, and we are rolling up our sleeves for this fight. We are in this together.

This week, we will be contacting the winners of the (50) Visible bands and The We Should All Be Birds and Grief is Love books! Our hope is to continue to do more of these giveaways throughout the year.

And as part of our campaign, we have fun rewards! We need to find joy wherever we can!

SAVE THE DATE: We will be holding our Keep the Light Gathering to come together as a community on Sunday, Feb. 1st. Stay tuned!

We will be announcing a date for the next Marisa Renee Lee workshop very soon!
