Together Beyond November

"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare” - Audre Lorde. 

It’s been a long, heavy, exhausting…. virtual year. Many of us are holding a lot of anxiety as we head toward the election. Maybe we are nervous about how things will turn out or unsure of what things will feel like if we don’t have a clear winner right away, and some of us have been carrying so much that we haven’t even had time to think about the election. Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b) is thinking of you and holding space for you. 

Regardless of the results of the election, our community will continue to face challenges that we will need to work through together. In collaboration with #TogetherBeyondNovember, join us on Wednesday from 5:30-7:00 p.m. to engage in collective coping and community care. We’ll acknowledge that the outcome of the election will impact us differently and some of us more intensely, and we’ll consider what it means to practice radical self-care in community with other Retrievers.
