We are working to connect with those who are curious and willing to dismantle institutions that are harming us for the sake of liberation, the dignity of our planet, and building something beyond the carceral punitive systems that disappear our communities.</p><p> Everywhere people are struggling to imagine how we address harm without the use of the state. These virtual events will build upon our collective imagination while beginning to address anti-Black racism, settler-colonialism, and gender violence in our movements.</p><p>The variety of free trainings, workshops, and panels we are offering is part of the We Keep Us Safe: Active Community Intervention series facilitated by Black &amp; Beyond the Binary Collective , guest facilitators/panelist and is sponsored by the Constructing Civic Dialogues program through the Office of Community and Civic Life.</p><p><strong>My Sibling's Keeper: Black Disabled, Trans and Queers Legends Connect! </strong></p><p>February 16th, 2022</p><p>1-2:30pm </p><p><strong>Community Accountability As A Loving Practice</strong></p><p>March 25, 2022</p><p>11-1pm</p><p><strong>Community, Spirituality and Ritual for Surviving and Thriving</strong></p><p>Ignacio G Hutía Xeiti Rivera of The Heal Project </p><p>March 31st, 2022</p><p>2-4pm</p><p><strong>Community Accountability in Portland</strong></p><p>April 12, 2022</p><p>1-2:30PM</p><p><strong>POD Mapping</strong></p><p>May 12th, 2022</p><p>1-3pm</p><p><strong> Water Is Life: Understanding the Red Deal</strong></p><p>June 8th, 2022</p><p>1-3pm</p><p><strong>Black Trans Liberation!</strong></p><p>June 22 ,2022</p><p>1-3pm</p><p>**Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this series do not necessarily represent those of the City of Portland.
