December 2023 Solidarity Summit
Rolling Snowballs, building MANs
Join us for this quarterly get-together for learning, connecting, and taking action
Every quarter we invite people to share their mutual aid projects or dreams, find synergies, and take steps to connect more functionally. December 16-17, 2023, we'll focus on rolling snowballs and making snowMANs, or accumulating our efforts into a critical mass to take on the form we're aiming for.
