A Thing or Two We’re Doing Besides Identifying a Cottage Industry
This week on the podcast: We’re letting in the summer breeze, we’re carving out time for creative projects—can you tell we’re ready for a fresh start?! The other thing on our minds right now: Tomorrow will be a year since George Floyd’s murder. There’s so much to be said about it, most of it not by us. If you’re leveling-up your commitment to dismantling white supremacy, check out Barnraisers, which teaches white people what it means to organize for racial equity and how to do it. We’re part of the current cohort, and we’re looking forward to sharing more about our experience.

Pointing people toward a perfect little picnic accessory.
