What does showing up for each other look like right now? Join @ncph.bsky.social on September 5 for Cultivating Community for Cultural Workers through Mutual Aid webinar, which will share the basics of mutual aid and more! community.ncph.org/event/Mutual...
National Council on Public History
As cultural workers navigate layoffs, funding loss, and efforts to erase their labor, it is important for us to stand united. Higher Ground Society launched the Culture Keeper Mutual Aid Network—a bold effort to unite and support the cultural community through collective action and mutual aid. Join this webinar to learn what mutual aid is, what led to the creation of the Cultural Keeper Mutual Aid Network, how you can become involved, and strategies for you to organize support systems for your community. Cultivating Community for Cultural Workers Through Mutual Aid is a part of the Sustaining Ourselves: Practical Tools and Community Conversation series; this session was organized by the National Council on Public History's Advocacy Committee and the Labor Task Force.
