Meaningful Ways to Celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day + More Support For Parents

A calendar guide to meaningful family discussions for parents who can't do it all

Hey friends!

I know you're juggling a million things, so it’s hard to squeeze meaningful conversations into drives to school.

In the words of Tricia L., from our last LBT hangout:

“How am I supposed to solve the growing tide of fascism in the US if I can’t even find shoes for people?!”

While I can’t help you dig through the closet, I DO have an easy, no-stress guide to exploring history, justice, and fighting fascism while you chase with your kiddo around the house searching for a lost sneaker.

Remember that everything here – I made this for you. Cause you are important and you deserve safety, health, and support as you care for others.

“Let’s Pretend Everything Will Be Fine!”

- Voters whose children won’t be at risk through another Trump presidency

Obviously, that’s not you. …But I bet this is:

• You’re terrified of the 2024 elections and the prospect of another Trump presidency.

• You’re overwhelmed by the guilt of not doing enough—whether it’s canvassing, fighting voter suppression, or keeping on top of the issues.

• You’re struggling with the idea of voting for Harris given her troubling track record, but don’t feel you have much choice.

Join us this October for a special workshop with Nat Vikitsreth of Come Back to Care where you’ll learn how to co-regulate with your kids during these uncertain times.

Together, we’ll face the chaos with calm and courage.

Register to join us Oct 16th, or request a recording if you can’t make it live.
