SUMMARY:Graphic Novel Bookclub: Cocoon by Kyo Machiko
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our August graphic novel book club pick: Cocoon by Kyo Machiko! \nBook is not required to join the discussion! \nSan and her best friend Mayu attend a boarding school for girls on Japan’s Southern Island\, but their studies are interrupted when they and the other students are recruited to help the war effort as assistant nurses. Sent to the front lines\, the girls must deal with more than just the threat of enemy bombs overhead. Stuck working in the horrifying caves of a field hospital\, San wishes she could wrap herself and her friends in a cocoon of protection. But invisible threads of affection are no match for the carnage that surrounds them\, and more students perish day by day. Worn down by starvation and loss\, what will San and her remaining friends do when they are told to find their way home through the fields of war?

SUMMARY:Whistle Kit & "Know Your Rights" Materials Distribution
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our outreach efforts to build community and share KYR resources (including “red cards”) with our neighbors. \nWorking in teams\, we share information on ways our neighbors can prepare now for ICE raids: what to do if ICE comes\, what to do in case of detentions\, and where to find additional resources. Foreign language fluency is helpful\, but not necessary. (Generally\, most people will simply take the offered materials as they walk past you — few will stop to converse\, and even fewer will converse in depth.) \nPlease expect to be on your feet and outside\, and to carry a tote bag weighing a few pounds. \nThis action is rooted in principles of cooperation\, empathy\, and collective action. Effective community care involves building networks of mutual support and empowering ourselves to meet our collective needs.
