From the pandemic to politics, teaching civics in 2021 can be incredibly complex - and yet incredibly important. Join Donnalie Jamnah (Pulitzer Center, Black Girls Create), Anna Casalme (Novelly), and Janae Phillips (Fandom Forward) for a conversation about approaching civic education with creativity and empathy in order to prepare the next generation to shape their communities.
FIYAHCON is a virtual convention centering the perspectives and celebrating the contributions of BIPOC in speculative fiction. They have some amazing programming and awesome vendors (like us!) so stop by and visit our booth!
A night of Avatar viewing and action taking! On Thursday, September 2nd at 8pm ET, we’ll livetweet The Painted Lady - a classic heroes-fight-fossil-fuels episode of Avatar - and then join A Tribe Called Geek for a livestream where we’ll take hundreds of actions to support the Water Protectors and stop line 3.
We’re thrilled to present a panel for FlameCon’s virtual 2021 event!
FANS FIGHT BACK
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated an already rising tide of fear-based, ultra conservative leaders grounded in white supremacy and oppression. It’s an onslaught that has led much of the world to high levels of division and trauma. We desperately need a revitalization of civic imagination, and fandom is perfectly positioned to rise to the challenge. Learn from a panel of fan organizers why fans' creativity, passion, and expert community organizing can lead the way to a better story for our world.
PANELISTS:
Katie Bowers, Fandom Forward
Janae Phillips, Fandom Forward
Shawn Taylor, Scholar and Writer
Alexis Sanchez, Latinx Geeks
We’re presenting Fan Activist 101: Changing the World with Fandom at the Greenburgh Public Library’s Virtual FanCon, a convention celebrating all things anime, comics, sci-fi, gaming, and more!
