We thought it'd be nice if we could send her off with love. For folks who have been involved with Seed in the past, if you'd like to send her a heart felt message or share a memory or simply send well wishes, please email us at: [email protected]

In two weeks, on June 28th, we will be hosting a session on Classism. Classism is the very basis that our capitalist economic system is built upon. That is, the intentional exclusion and marginalization of those who are lower-income, defined by inaccessibility to resources and wealth.

Location: Florida International University, South Campus
Labor Center from 4pm-6pm*.

"...each life [is] a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular, and each name a comfortable music in the mouth, tending, as all music does, toward silence, and each body a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth."- Eli Clare, "Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation" (1999)

This Sunday, we're hosting a session on Ableism.

Ableism is a system of discrimination and exclusion that oppresses people with mental, emotional, and physical disabilities. We hope that this workshop will provide the context to connect with the issue of ableism that may affect ourselves and folks we know. Challenging ableism is about forming the conditions to a create a culture of accessibility and it begins with all of us.

Join us! Bring a friend :-)

Where: FIU South; Labor Center, Rm. 110, 4pm-6pm*
