There are many different reasons to write up a community care document. Maybe you are tired of people around you suggesting the same tired refrain's of "just eat well and exercise" and want to write down what kind of suggestions you are actually looking for. Maybe there is a disconnect between what needs to be done and what you can get done on your own. Maybe there are some instances when communication gets difficult and you need to have something written down already to hand a person without having to think very hard.
Whatever the case may be, we will be having a workshop to help all of us come up with a framework and rough sketch of our own community care needs. No need to share with one another if we don't want to. We will all be on our own journey's figuring out what this document will be for, who the document will be for, and what kind of stuff we should put into the document. Come with some means of taking notes (and please bring extra writing utensils if you have them. Some paper will be provided)
The silly question is: "Who is a character or universe you will often imagine yourself in?"

Chicago is as safe a space as we can make it. To help with this, we
have some working agreements that we would like all who come to meetings
to keep in mind while within our safe space meetings. Please check out
our working agreements

Safe
space meetings are strictly closed to researchers and reporters in
their professional capacities. Meetings are open to anyone else wanting
