Why We Are Gathering
Within the context of eugenics, ableism, and white supremacy, a COVID Cautious event led by racialized TGNC folks, women, disabled folks, and youth allows us to lead conversations that truly center our dreams of a world of community care. We have a right to have access to clean air and protection from deadly diseases, and we believe we can achieve that goal together.
We are creating a COVID Cautious principled political framework grounded in Black liberation, anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism and anti-eugenics that individuals, institutions, and movement organizations can use to inform, assess, and transform the way they work.
Please note: All convening attendees, art gallery participants, facilitators, performers, and vendors must fall under our definition of a Black, Brown, Indigenous, Asian, and Pacific Islander (BBIAPI) umbrella.
Folks who are white and recognize themselves as “white-passing,” “white-presenting,” or “white-assumed” are not welcome at this convening. We ask that you honor and support the container we are seeking to build together.
Our convening will take place in GatherTown. This will be a virtual event that will take place from March 8th-March 10th, 2024.
Who we are
PS4LF is organized by a Black-led multiracial group based in occupied North America representing a tapestry of genders, ages, lived experiences, and abilities. This convening seeks to address the mass death, physical and social abandonment, and loss of access to public space during the past four years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dominant capitalist society tells us it is “unrealistic,” “unnecessary,” or “too difficult” to take any COVID-19 precautions. The ruling class tells us that our health and lives do not matter. We unequivocally reject this narrative.
Donate to our Gofundme
We are asking for community support to bring this accessible virtual gathering to life. Funds will allow us to use a dynamic virtual platform, pay our organizers and facilitators, hire interpreters, and launch the PPE fund. We are also open to donations from organizations via our fiscal sponsor, and partnership opportunities. Please contact us directly through GoFundMe if interested in donating via our fiscal sponsor or partnering further.
