Community Callout: Partner with Us to Offer Three Workshops with Mia Mingus

We want to bring Mia Mingus from California to Vancouver from the 18th to 20th October, 2013 to do a series of workshops for the community. We need help to make this possible!

Mia Mingus is a writer and organizer working for disability justice and transformative justice to end child sexual abuse. She identifies as a queer physically disabled Korean woman transracial and transnational adoptee, raised in the Caribbean, nurtured in the South and now living on the west coast. 

We would like to do a series of three workshops and we are looking for partners in order to make them possible. We are willing to work with our partners to shape the workshops.The workshops we want to offer are A Community Building Workshop; a Disability Justice Workshop; and a Writing Workshop called "Moving Towards the Ugly." Please check out our proposal below with details and let us know if you are interested in financially supporting and/or co-sponsoring these events. Please help spread the word too. Thanks!
