In this funder briefing, we will pause, reflect and share what we are learning from those in community. What might we learn from the unique intersection of faith/spirituality, grief, mental and emotional health, disability justice and access?

We believe that philanthropy and movements have a responsibility to be in communication and visioning work together. In this funder briefing we will pause, reflect and share what we are learning from those in community. 

Over the past few years we’ve been through incredible violence and grief on a collective level. The pandemic has been a mirror for all of us, demanding that we work, care, relate and image differently. And yet, many of us are impacted more than others, Black people, trans and queer folks, diasbled and chronically ill, elders and young people. 

However, some of us have been dreaming up different ways of being and relating–including Disability Justice and spiritually-based groups and efforts.

In this time of unraveling and reimagining, what might we learn from the unique intersection of faith/spirituality, grief, mental and emotional health, disability justice and access? 

Join us for this funder briefing. All are welcome

Accessibility:

Access requests, including interpretation and captioners, can be made during registration or by emailing Dustin Gibson at dustin@peopleshub.org.  Requests for interpreters and captioners that are made less than 48 hours before the event typically are more difficult to meet. We will try and notify you if we cannot secure requested access. 

 

Cost:

Free! Though we appreciate donations from those who can afford to do so.

At PeoplesHub we are committed to communication access, radical hospitality, supporting facilitators, and making our offerings financially accessible. Donations allow us to continue offering programs like this one and pay speakers, tech support leads, interpreters, captioners, and other support staff a fair wage for their time and expertise. Like you, those who support our trainings work hard for change in their communities and have often developed the knowledge, skill and gifts that they are offering through many unpaid hours — let’s support them to be sustainable in their work and craft!
