WE’RE FINALLY STARTING THE ZOOMS AGAIN!
In my last post, I promised that we’d announce Fierce Community zooms to start next week. We did community-focused Zooms from January through early April this year, but put them on hold to retool and now we’re Fierce Community. So there you go.
We’re starting a different day than planned (next Wednesday not Monday), but there is a late-night swim party thing at the local public pool Monday and I’m so taking my own advice and putting my own oxygen mask on first by doing some fun summer stuff. So I’ll see you Wednesday. Or Friday. Or the next Monday…
NEW EVENTS PAGE!
With that, we’ve got a new events page here.
Everything on that page is also in this post, so you’re all set if you’re reading this on email. For the future, all new events will be posted there but we’ll also send them through this Substack by email.
THE WEEKLY SCHEDULE
We’re planning 3 regularly scheduled zooms per week to catch various time zones. Same topic for the whole week. Registration links in next section down.
MONDAYS — 8 pm Eastern / 7 pm Central / 6 pm Mountain / 5 pm Pacific.
WEDNESDAYS — 10 pm Eastern / 9 pm Central / 8 pm Mountain / 7 pm Pacific.

Send cash if you’re able! Help us help more people. We’re doing good here.

ABOUT THE ZOOMS
Why are we doing these? The point is to promote civic engagement through connection, community, creativity, leadership, empowerment, alliances, and resilience in an era of rising instability and societal disruption.
Semper Gumby. Be flexible. Zoom topics may change, some weeks might not include all sessions, or events could be cancelled. Rolling with uncertainty is part of how we’ll get through things over the long haul.
That said, we’ll hold space for these gatherings as we can. They’re the core & foundation of what we’ll build here.
Same topics for all the sessions in a week.
Different times, to catch different time zones & work schedules.
All are welcome at any session; you can join more than one session in a week.
PS — FOR FUN
Just for the heck of it, here’s a picture of the garden I’ve been doing with a friend. The picture is from July 15 though, which is 10 whole days and a lot of rain ago. Everything has tripled or quintupled in size since then. And here I was worried we started too late. Um… NOPE.
