I’m offering a single session class on fairy tales to raise money for rent relief in my south Minneapolis neighborhood. When ICE occupied my street, they not only kidnapped and murdered, they kept people from their jobs. So even though the abductions have slowed (not stopped), many families face eviction because of lost income.

Fairy Tales and the Subversive Power of Collective Storytelling.

When: April 16, 6-8pm (central) Where: Online through Zoom Cost: Any amount of mutual aid contribution to https://givebutter.com/stan-eric ($20 is suggested. More is appreciated. But if you're unable to contribute, you're still welcome to join the class.) Contact: [email protected] We’re going through some shit right now. And we’re also coming together in powerful ways that many of us have never experienced before--though others have been doing this work for generations. Fairytales grow from a rich and continuing tradition of oral storytelling. Because of this, we can use the fairy tale form to showcase our collective power. And we can channel the practical skills we’ve learned from collective action, mutual aid, and solidarity to write sparkling and magical stories that not only capture the truth of this moment but reflect outward to make change in the greater world. During the session, you can expect magical tales, lively discussion, and a bit of group storytelling. And you’ll leave with exciting new ideas, actionable strategies, and some fun prompts.
