Join Guy Oron on July 28th 6-7:30 for a Policy Practice Space on the upcoming August primaries and how QTBIPOC+ communities are engaging in local and state politics. We’ll talk about questions such as:
- Who is running for office, and what are their platforms?
- What are the benefits and limitations of electoralism for communities that have been historically excluded from the political system?
- How can local and state elected officials resist the federal government’s reactionary policies? In what ways have they become complicit?
- What is the relationship between electoral politics and grassroots social movements?
- How can I be an informed and engaged voter to maximize my power?

Everybody say congrats to Jasmine!!! As of this week, our illustrious intern Jasmine (also lovingly known as Yasmeena) has graduated with her Masters in Social Work 🎓 We are so proud of her and beyond grateful for all of the deep care and support she’s given to AAoC during her time as our social work student intern. While Jasmine’s time as our intern is coming to a close, we have no doubt that she’s off to continue transforming the world around her for the better, AND off to some well deserved fun and rest. We’re excited to see what you’re up to next, Yasmeeni 💕
