Resistance Fair - Plant Seeds for a Better Future

RCI RESISTANCE FAIR

Plant Seeds for a Better Future

In March, connect with your neighbors, learn about local resistance efforts, and celebrate spring!

Talk one-on-one with activist groups about how to get involved. Join your kids in a scavenger hunt to learn about flowers of the resistance - and win a prize! Get clothing mended for free, with Mending Bloc. We take care of us.

We're excited to have baked goods from Al-Awda and Persian food from YÂSAMAN. A percentage of all food sales benefit families in Palestine.

There will be opportunities to donate directly to families to Gaza and purchase art that benefits collective aid in Sudan and the DRC.
