Organizing Beyond Nostalgia: A gathering of Italian Americans and their friends committed to ending racism

Libertroph Magazine, in partnership with Erika Bernabei, invites our Italian American friends and those who love us to struggle through four critical questions together generated from Erika’s profound personal essay, “Loosening our grips on Italian American nostalgia”.

Powered by community, wine, and snacks, we will honor the cultural traditions that fortify our commitments to undoing racism while reckoning with the significant challenges we face in our families and cultural communities. Please join us for an evening of critical reflection, warm connection and delicious nourishment. Hanukkah menorah available for those who celebrate!

Having your Tech Meet Your Ethics

For nonprofits that work with vulnerable populations and/or are committed to politics of inclusion and resistance, thinking through the tech we use and how we use is more extremely important, and totally overwhelming.
The conversation will take a solidaristic, consent culture approach — focusing on the actions that will actually help keep us all safe — as we gain a deeper understanding of how information is shared and how we intentionally and unintentionally share our information and that of others.
