Hi all,
I wanted to call to attention an initiative some of my friends and comrades have been working on called Workshops 4 Gaza. It is a fundraising initiative for Palestinian families. The way it works is each workshop chooses a fundraiser to support for someone in Gaza and the proceeds from registrations to that workshop go to that workshop’s fundraiser (the donation goes directly to the fundraiser and whatever platform is hosting that fundraiser. None of the funds goes through Workshops 4 Gaza).
The list of past and upcoming workshops is here and if you find any of the upcoming workshops interesting, I invite you to register for it! But moreover, I wanted to invite any interested MayFirst members to teach/lead a workshop. The subject can be anything that your cooperative/organization feels comfortable teaching. Anything relevant to activism/organizing would be good! Open to any suggestions at the moment. I was thinking of running a workshop at some point with my org on digital security, but if there are members here with more experience who would like to help out with such a workshop, let me know! From yesterday’s MayFirst webinar, the Holistic Security framework seems like an interesting subject for a workshop (I’m planning to read through the materials over the next few weeks). Another idea is a workshop on self-hosted, open source tooling.
