7/29/2021: Relax with Praxis, Funding Opportunities, & Resources

THE PRAXIS PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENTS Sometimes you just need a moment to restore, connect, and play. Relax with Praxis is a monthly space that we're offering on the last Friday of every month with the only goal to have fun and connect for community organizers. Our next event is Friday, July 30th.  Relaxation and play are often at the bottom of our to-do lists, so we hope that this space provides joy, creativity, connection, and community care without pressure to focus on work and productivity.
