‼️ Call for support: financial and in-kind donations needed for the National Climate Survival Incubator gathering next month, April 16-22 ‼️❤️🔥🌱
🦋 Climate Mobilization Project is bringing together 20 young Black, Indigenous, and Brown climate builders — engineers deploying solar microgrids, farmers stewarding Indigenous seed systems, organizers running disaster resilience hubs, artists using culture as political infrastructure – for a week of hands-on skill-building (solar, mesh networking, seed saving, biochar, and more), peer learning, and strengthening our collective strategies for climate survival organizing. 🌱
❤️🔥 These 20 leaders represent 17 grassroots survival hubs already operating on the front lines of climate collapse across the U.S. — and this gathering is the centerpiece of a year-long cohort program we are facilitating through November 2026. ❤️🔥
‼️Any additional support doesn’t just fund this one week: it helps us disburse tools, financial resources, and infrastructure to 17 critical resilience initiatives across the country through the end of the year.
🌺 We’d love your support — we are prioritizing financial contributions to the donation link in our bio, but we’re also excited about creative partnerships: in-kind resources, tool donations, connections, or co-promotion. Every dollar goes directly to the gathering and to $1,000 survival tool stipends for each of the 17 projects. And if there’s a way to collaborate that isn’t on our list, we’d love to hear it! Send us a DM or email us: [email protected] 🌺🌱
This workshop will go over myths worth busting about being an artist, the boundaries you already have, and the boundaries you might aspire to have as an artist.
