Solastalgia: Zine Making

RAVEN works to support Indigenous Peoples in enforcing their rights and title in court to protect their lands, sovereignty, and ways of being by partnering with First Nations bringing legal actions that seek redress for violations to Indigenous land and rights. Indigenous-led litigation is sparking transformative change across Canada, and every campaign we take on is an opportunity to redefine justice through setting legal precedents that aim to return stewardship and sovereignty to First Peoples. Through fundraising and public education activities, RAVEN is committed to advancing Indigenous rights and taking action for our shared futures by establishing environmental legacies.By supporting RAVEN, you are part of a movement that increases access to justice so that  Indigenous Peoples can afford to assert their rights and reclaim environmental stewardship through litigation against colonial governments and extractive corporations. What is at stake for Indigenous Peoples is at stake for everyone: basic rights to clean water and abundant lands that support ecosystems for all life and for all generations.

RAVEN

Addressing Climate Anxiety through Community Building and Art-Making. This session we will co-create issue #2 of a community Zine.

1923 Fernwood Rd

Join RAVEN for another round of Solastalgia: Addressing Climate Anxiety through Community Building and Art-Making. At these events the RAVEN community comes together to discuss our climate anxieties (and potential actions to take to address them) through community building and art-making. This hands-on zine making workshop will offer an opportunity to express some of our fears, ideas, and dreams when it comes to a more just and liveable future. Weaving in ideas of how we can connect across difference and take action as individuals and as a community, from diverting personal waste to showing up in solidarity with Indigenous rights movements — we will discuss a multitude of ways we can all participate in re-imagining the future. We will sip tea, share stories, and make space for creativity and connection to see what can bloom from an afternoon together. The theme of this issue will be, “Collective Action.” RAVEN will provide any materials needed, but feel free to bring magazines, books, stickers, or other materials that you are comfortable cutting up. *RAVEN’s Zine Issue #1 will be available in print for those who may want a copy.
