Join the EDC for an outdoor potluck!

We know that it has been a hard month for many of us. The EDC would like to offer solidarity and an occasion for collective reflection. Join us for an outdoor potluck at the Wyman Park Dell.

We come to this land and place carrying memories and histories of many others. In this trying time, let’s come together to share some of our favorite foods and the stories and places behind them: the flavors that remind us of places we love, the moments of comfort we’ve found in cooking up memories of those meaningful places, and the relations to land and community we are fortunate to have.

Read with the EDC. Join the EDC Book Club!

The EDC Book Club returns soon with a discussion of Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba, now available to download for free via Haymarket Books. Pick up a copy and stay tuned for more details. ”What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing? Let This Radicalize You is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe.”

The EDC goes on a meditative nature walk. Thank you to all who came!

Last month the EDC explored the ecology of Morgan State University, meditating on the relationship between the natural and built environments. Thank you to all who attended the EDC grounding event! A special thanks to our meditative nature walk guide and EDC Curator Ebram Victoria.
