Tour the Checkerspot Brewing Company with the EDC!

Are you hankering for a pint of Baltimore-brewed beer? Are you curious about sustainable beers made with locally sourced ingredients? Join the Ecological Design Collective as we tour the Checkerspot Brewing Company and learn about their green beer-making practices (and of course sample some of their amazing beers afterward)!

Microbiologist Judy Neff, owner and head brewer, will be giving us the tour, the latest in our monthly "Reimagining Land" series.

Reminder, the EDC book club returns this week. Get to the root of radical possibility with us!

The EDC Book Club returns with a discussion of Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba, now available to download for free via Haymarket Books. Kick off your reading and join us for an online discussion on December 11th at 1 pm ET. ”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.”
