Community Care Day 2026

When: 
Sunday, September 27, 2026 - 1:00pm

Join us on Sunday, September 27, 2026 for Community Care Day, an annual ALP healing justice tradition rooted in collective care, abolitionist values, and ancestral healing practices. From 2–6 PM, QTBIPOC healers and practitioners will offer free, community-based care including reiki, massage, acupuncture, and more, alongside free HIV/STI testing. Come rest, receive care, reconnect with community, and tend to ourselves and one another. Community Care Day is a space to practice healing as resistance and collective care as a way of sustaining our movements.

Self-Preservation as Political Warfare: Writing Toward Care as Resistance

When: 
Thursday, June 4, 2026 - 6:30pm

 

Self-preservation is more than a wellness trend - it is survival, resistance, and reclamation. 

Join healotry and The Audre Lorde Project for Self-Preservation as Political Warfare: Writing Toward Care as Resistance, an interactive poetry workshop grounded in the words of Audre Lorde:
"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."

Together, we will explore rest, boundaries, joy, and care as acts of resistance through reflection, discussion, and creative writing. Participants will leave with original writing, collective affirmation, and reminders that our healing is political too. 

Come write, reflect, and affirm that caring for ourselves in a world that demands our exhaustion is a revolutionary act.

Refreshments will be provided!
