Black Love Resists in the Rust hasn't added a story.
What we're doing
Just Resisting (JR) is sending a few members to the AMC in June: Alex, Richie, and Kyem! We want to bring back what we learn to grow with our Buffalo fam.
Held every summer in Detroit, the conference brings together a vibrant and diverse community of people using media to incite change: filmmakers, radio producers, technologists, youth organizers, writers, entrepreneurs, musicians, dancers, and artists.
"Media" is defined as anything you use to communicate with the world. media-based organizing is defined as any collaborative process that uses media, art, or technology to address the roots of problems and advances holistic solutions towards a more just and creative world.
Our intentions
We wanted to share what we hope to get from attending the
conference: Alex is super excited to learn how to channel their
politics and passion for organizing through art and also to be
inspired by others in the space.
Richie is looking forward to being in a healing space with other
Black folx. He also wants to learn from & build with other organizers.
Kyem wants to participate in the Design Justice track to deepen
their design skills and creatively learn to solve problems in their
community around police violence.
We are excited and ready to do the necessary &
transformative work of showing up for our community and collectively
healing with other attendees.
Donations
Donations raised will go to registration, travel, food and lodging for our delegation.
We ask that you support our intentions and visions by donating
to this campaign and sharing with your networks. No amount is too small!
With gratitude,
Alex, Richie & Kyem
JR Members
