Part 3 of our book club on Dean Spade’s Mutual Aid is nearly here! We’d love to have you with us for the conversation! Drop us a DM to join in. It’s time for our second session on Mutual Aid by Dean Spade - We’re starting to get into the weeds with the details of organising with mutual aid principles - We’d love to have you with us for the conversation! Drop us a DM to join in. CVC’s Virtual Learning Group (VLG) is back after a little break and we’re asking the question: How does veganism articulate spirituality? This is a little bit of a different format for us. Instead of looking to thinkers and experts, we want to have a conversation because spirituality is deeply personal and expressed in innumerable ways. We want to get into how veganism informs our spiritual selves and vice versa. DM to join us on the 14th of August! The CVC Book Club is back with Mutual Aid by Dean Spade. Join us for some foundational work in understanding solidarity and community care. We’re getting into Racism and Decolonial Theory in our next VLG, and it fittingly falls on Juneteenth! How do oppressive systems show up in our lives and in our veganism? DM us or Caring Veg Community to find out how you can join in! See our previous post for more about these discussions. It’s time to close out with chapters 7 & 8 of What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat, Aubrey Gordon’s revealing, in-depth analysis of systemic, social and cultural anti-fatness. Drop us a message if you’d like to join in and we’ll let you know how! Join us for an hour of reconnecting and a little friendly competition! CVC is hosting an online games meet up and you’re invited - we’re playing Codenames and Taboo; no downloading apps or creating accounts required! DM us for joining details! We’re over the halfway point and on to chapters 5 & 6 of What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat, Aubrey Gordon’s revealing, in-depth analysis of systemic, social and cultural anti-fatness. Drop us a message if you’d like to join in and we’ll let you know how! We’re discussing Navigating Being Non-Vegan in a Non-Vegan World on April 24th - How do you deal with conflict? Celebrate?
