our unique form of advocacy.

PROTEST SAFETY
Tuesday, September 28, 1-2pm, Instagram Live @SJSUCCCAC
Protesting is one of the many ways we draw attention to the issues important to us!
But it’s important to learn how to stay safe in the process. Hear from a community
activist to learn what protesting safety looks like!
Attendees will be entered into a raffle for a safety kit.
ABLEISM IN SOCIAL JUSTICE SPACES
Tuesday, October 19, 1-2pm, Instagram Live @SJSUCCCAC
Learn how to combat ableism!
As activists and advocates, we are often so busy organizing, that we forget to look
at our spaces and who we design them for. A community activist will speak to their
own experiences, facing ableism in social justice spaces.
OFRENDA ACTIVIST DECORATING: Día de Muertos
Monday, November 1, 1-2pm, in-person event, venue TBA
Join us as we gather around our Día de Muertos ofrenda to honor the lives and legacies
of activists who have passed on. Let’s gather in community and conversation as we
create paper marigolds to place on the altar. All are
welcome!
