REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
for “Drum Song Reclamation”
An 8-week initiation into the skill of drumming to support singing for collective healing and power!

with Shireen Amini and Morgan Vanderpool

WHEN?
April 2-May 21*
Wednesdays, 6:30-8:30pm PT on Zoom
*NO CLASS on April 30 (for midway integration)

Humans of these times...
Reclaiming drum and song is a pounding beat whose echo ripples backwards and forwards through time.

We are called to rhythm because it is innate and powerful. We have been estranged from rhythm for these same exact reasons. The cuttingly and cunningly-present living legacies of colonialism, white supremacy, and capitalism have impacted us generationally, viscerally and show up in our bodies’ relationship to rhythm & music.

Restoring our connection to body, soul, village, voice, and rhythm is vital to shift the momentum of generations of harm.

We believe in...
* Reconnecting bodies to rhythm as a source of healing, power, and the magic of co-liberation.
* Reclaiming drumming as a pathway toward ancestral mending, both in reaching for the land-based diasporic cultures that still run in our blood and in actively repairing harm in our current systems through reverent practice.
* Empowering people with the skills, understanding, and creativity to bring music in service of calling, where mastery is unnecessary but cultural fluency/reverence, and musical principles are foundational.
* Restoring drumming and singing together as a community practice for health, grief, joy, prayer, resistance, and calling in renewed ways.

THIS TRAINING WILL INCLUDE:
* Weekly Live Classes
* Asynchronous Video Mini-Lessons + Playalong Videos
* Online Community Forum
* Live Office Hours
* Final Project

KEEP IN MIND:
* Limited capacity. We will cap the program at 22 participants with 50% reserved for BIPOC community.
* Register soon to secure your spot.

Draft of comments for Tuesday below & take screen shot to access links to to Action Network’s letter submission to City Council & zoom for Tuesday 11.19.24’s meeting 👍🏼

The ShotSpotter gunshot detection system should not be implemented in Tacoma. Evidence of its failures and additional harms to Black and Brown residents are detailed in reports and news articles from cities that have already tried and rejected the program.

ShotSpotter has a history of false alarms, failing to reduce gun violence, and failing to increase crime-solving.

What this additional surveillance will likely do, is exacerbate existing inequities. Black and Brown communities already face the brunt of the system of over policing. This hyper surveillance, coupled with police arriving to locations under the assumption that people are armed and dangerous, could lead to an increase in violent police interactions or harassment.

These unnecessary interactions may end up costing the city millions in settlements and legal fees when false alarms turn into violent or unlawful interactions. Data from previous ShotSpotter pilots show an increase to the police department’s workload, which equals more hours and possibly an even bigger police budget request. With the city of Tacoma facing a $24 million shortfall this year, it’s irresponsible to implement a potentially costly program with a track record of failing to reduce crime.

The community wasn’t consulted prior to accepting the grant for the ShotSpotter pilot. Tacoma is once again ignoring the concerns brought forward by local residents and advocacy organizations, and ignoring data that clearly shows this to be a false solution.

This is it. We only have 48 HOURS to stop Missouri from executing , an innocent man.

Every hour, every minute, every second is critical right now. And even though ’s office is closed today, we can’t let a single moment go by where we’re not urging him to take action.

So today, we’re asking you to SHARE Marcellus’ story far and wide by creating your own post about him using the social media toolkit at the link in our bio, and include a call to action to sign our petition and call at 417-373-3400.

It is not too late for Gov. Parson to ensure that Missouri does not take an innocent man’s life.

Let’s be real y’all, curating and sustaining relationships while doing liberation work is tricky & challenging af! And it is vital to remember your and our breath are an incredibly powerful relationship builders.

And like any movement pattern, you can practice tuning & toning your breath’s capacity and adaptability, especially under tension & challenge.

When we practice consciously adapting and strengthening how we breathe, it’s like fine-tuning an instrument. Aiding our bodies in becoming effective instruments of change. These skills helps us communicate better, navigate stressors with more grace, and connect with others more effectively.

It’s a simple yet profound way to improve our overall well-being and navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.

In our shared journey of processing grief & trauma, many of us find ourselves stuck in a freeze response, unable to take action.

When we are collectively in freeze it holds us back from engaging in the conversations, healing processes, & community tending that help us build the kinds of relationships & movements that will bring us closer to co-liberation.

Learning how to navigate & be in proactive relationship our own individual survival responses e.g. to shift from freeze to a more mobilizing response, is a life sustaining and planet protecting practice.

We breathe 22,000 times a day, and each breath is an opportunity to reset your nervous system, move your body a bit & feel connected to your own personal agency amidst the interconnected work we are up to.
