January Newsletter
Hello, hello, hello!
A new year is here, and with it comes an incredible lineup of events, gatherings, and opportunities to connect at Your Space Collective! January is packed with moments to celebrate, reflect, and build community together.
We’re kicking things off with The People’s Gathering: MLK Day Community Cookout on Monday, January 20th, where you can enjoy delicious food, live music, and explore resources from grassroots organizers, nonprofits, and local artists and vendors. Whether you’re looking to join our parade float or set up a table, there’s a way for everyone to participate.
Later in the month, don’t miss our Cosplay Mixer, You Meet at a Tavern, on January 31st, featuring mocktails, sweet & savoy pies, tarot readings, henna designs, and local vendors. It’s the perfect way to end the month in style! Dressing up is encouraged!
Looking ahead, our highly anticipated summit, The People’s Blueprint, has been rescheduled to February 1-2, offering workshops on Housing, Immigration, Healthcare, and Imperialism to build resilience and connections for the year ahead.
And, of course, our signature recurring events continue to provide a foundation of creativity, mutual aid, and joy—from the Sober Support Group to Layali Lounge and Campfire Storytelling.
