PLEASE PLAN TO HAVE YOUR ZOOM VIDEO ON!! **we REQUIRE your camera be on even if it's focused on a plant or you come in your pajamas, we want to have an "Old School" energy/connection in the virtual room**
The Focus for this Seasonal Reach-In/Teach-in is
Revolution As A Practice…Pat inspired her mentees to think widely, like her study of Cuba and create practices to sustain them in long haul activism. How can we continue to use Pat’s teaching to support our own political growth and care?
We invite you to the practices we have talked about before…breathing, meditation, and doodling while listening to excerpts of Pat from Lupe’s video Pat! A Revolutionary Black Molecule. We will have a selected reading from Lupe’s Political Novel To Face It, photos and art inspired by travel to Cuba, as well as an interview and reflections with Jennifer Forest from Pat Is Back.
Reflections from past PAT IS BACK audience...
"Pat is Back was very nourishing." A white participant
"Political growth is hard to do alone, maybe even impossible…I think that’s why we come together to Pat Is Back." A Latin participant
