SUMMARY:Junk Journals: An Adventure in Paper
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, you’ll create two projects. We’ll use a blank greeting card to transform into an easy travel journal complete with pockets for all of those traveling treasures. We will also use a single pice of card stock to create a junk journal embellished to your particular tastes.\n \nWe will have a buffet of materials to personalize your creations. Come learn the art of junk journaling!\n \nThis workshop is best for folks over 12\, minors must be accompanied by a ticketed adult. Tickets can be purchased here. \n \nAbout the Instructor: \nSam Beckerman has been crafting since grade school. She spent her allowance on those fabric loops to make potholders and then her grandmother taught her to embroider. In junior high and high school\, she learned to tailor clothes and won ribbons at the County Fair. She retired at 50 and mainly works with paper now\, after voting mosaics off the island. During the early years of retirement\, she collected many blue ribbons at the Nevada State Fair. She’s especially proud of the wedding album (redone) that won a “best of show” award. She tells people it was the big blue one with the metal center – like they give the cows! She regularly taught Junk Journal workshops at Recycled Reads until they closed down for COVID in 2020.

SUMMARY:UWSA May 2022 Unlearning Circle
DESCRIPTION:We hope you will join us for May’s Unlearning Circle where we will explore our role in building accountable communities. Historically\, white folks relied heavily on police for everyday problems. But thanks to leadership and guidance from communities of color\, the tides are turning: every day\, more white people want to know how to abandon reliance on police.\n \nWe now recognize that policing does not solve our problems\, and worse yet\, is truly dangerous to all communities of color\, poor and working class folks\, disabled folks\, queer folks\, and more… We understand that policing is not only harmful today\, but also has clear\, traceable roots to horrific legacies of white supremacist violence: “catching” enslaved people running for freedom; forcing Indigenous peoples out of their lands\, in favor of white settlements; protecting white folks’ wealth.\n \nThese days\, many of us dream of a world without police and beyond policing. We know our communities thrive with more resources\, not more policing.\n \nHow do we envision community safety beyond policing? Black racial and economic justice activist and abolitionist Zach Norris thoughtfully titled his book\, “We keep us safe!” So\, what is our role in creating secure and just communities? How do we link our anti-racist values to our everyday neighborhood behaviors? Join us for our May Unlearning Circle to explore how we\, as white Austinites\, might contribute to safer\, more accountable communities.\n \nAbout our Unlearning Circles – \nUWSA’s first Unlearning Circle in the winter of 2017 was created as a place for white people to do the work of reflection and community self-education. As we continue to gather to critically examine our own participation in cultures of dominance\, we build our capacity to show up as individuals and as a city-wide community network for Black\, Indigenous and people of color-led anti-racist efforts in a positive and accountable way. The Unlearning Circles are an opportunity for white identifying people to explore white supremacy culture and our role and responsibilities in undoing racism. We welcome and recognize the gift of the presence of any People of Color who choose to join us.

SUMMARY:All Gender Spring Clothing Swap @ Central District Brewing
DESCRIPTION:On May 15\, 2022\, GOOD girls ATX is teaming up with Central District Brewing to host a Spring Clothing Swap to refresh our community’s wardrobes and welcome the warm weather with an exclusive beer release.\n  \nAll are welcome to join\, and participants must drop off items the week before the event in order to secure their spot. Scroll for details & instructions!\n  \nWhy swap your clothes with us? \nWe all deserve a wardrobe that suits our lifestyle & personality\, but neither our planet nor its people should suffer for it. The fashion industry is notoriously exploitative of natural resources and human labor. Furthermore\, less than 15% of clothes that are donated ever get re-homed? Most of it gets thrown away due to condition\, quality or oversupply. So how can we evolve our personal styles without feeling guilty about it?\n  \nBuying & selling at local resale shops or pop-ups is a great option because it gives your less-worn items a better chance at being re-homed & allows you to find new-to-you items while avoiding most of the initial harm caused by garment production. It also supports your local economy! Still\, it can take multiple trips & use up a lot of your time to get items sold or find the perfect addition to your wardrobe.\n  \nParticipating in a clothing swap enables you to connect deeper with your community\, meet new people & refresh your wardrobe at no cost (financial\, environmental or social)!\n  \nHow the Clothing Swap works: \n\nGather up to 10 warm weather clothing items + accessories in good condition\, wash them & place them in a bag. (Please avoid using fresh garbage bags.)\nAnytime between Sunday 5/8 & Saturday 5/14\, bring your items to the Future Front TX headquarters\, 916 Springdale Road Trailer #6 within the Canopy Complex. You’ll see a clearly marked bin with instructions on how to confirm your drop off & secure your spot at the swap.\nOn Sunday\, 5/15 arrive at Central District Brewing & check in with the GOOD girls ATX team.

We encourage everyone to arrive at 1PM to allow time to check in\, hear some important messages & have the best selection of items to swap.\n  \nAfter the swap has ended\, we re-home all of the leftover items & calculate the estimated environmental\, social & economic impact of the event.

We do end up selling some items & use those funds to support the growth of GOOD girls ATX. We’re currently fundraising to trademark our brand and register as a nonprofit.\n  \nIf you have ideas on rehoming swap leftovers\, please reach out to us.\n  \nStill not sure about something?

SUMMARY:Lunar Eclipse with Austin Astronomical Society
DESCRIPTION:Join us and the Austin Astronomical Society on May 15th as we observe a total lunar eclipse in Northwest District Park. A total lunar eclipse occurs when Earth’s shadow blocks the sun’s light\, which otherwise would reflect off the moon\, resulting in the moon appearing bright red! All ages are welcome but please be mindful that the equipment is fragile\, so children and pets must be watched closely. Please leave pets at home.\n \nFeel free to bring flashlights\, as it will be dark. Red lights are preferred to protect your eyes’ adaptation to the dark\, but we will also have red cellophane that can be put on white lights.\n \nPlease wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are weather appropriate.\n \nYou can RSVP here. \nAfter you register\, please keep an eye on your inbox for last-minute updates. Successful viewing is dependent on a clear sky\, so we will send out updates by email if the weather does not seem conducive to this activity.
