Women, queers, and trans folk have full support of the Wild Roots Feral Futures organizers collective to establish “safer spaces” for themselves, including spaces that are only for people who are oppressed by sexism and cis-hetero patriarchy, people who are queer, and people who are trans. We recognize the need for those spaces because no matter how much we work on our privilege, as recovering cis-hetero-patriarchists still in the process of mental and psychological decolonization and recovery, we’re still going to be bringing heteropatriarchy into the space. We support the formation of such spaces on the terms of those forming them.

The Wild Roots Feral Futures organizers' collective will be meeting in Durango twice every other Wednesday, 7PM at an undisclosed location. Upcoming meetings dates are thus April 29th, May 13th & 27th. In June we will likely meet weekly as the event approaches. These meetings are also potlucks, so please bring food and drink to share if you're able, but if not, no worries, there will be plenty to go around! Please email us at feralfutures [at] riseup [dot] net for meeting location info. fb event listing: www.facebook.com/events/442687965897085/ |

Online fundraiser live! www.gofundme.com/r8qzn8Wild Roots Feral Futures is an informal, completely free and non-commercial, and loosely organized event operating on (less than a) shoe-string budget, formed entirely off of donated, scavenged, or liberated supplies and sustained through 100% volunteer effort. This year, we are once again reaching out to the greater community in an appeal for funding donations. All proceeds go directly to acquiring essential collective supplies and food, as well as providing travel stipends for for low-income members of frontline communities fighting against ecological destruction, trainers, speakers, teachers, performers, medics, and others who are traveling long distances to provide us with their services, knowledge, skills, and expertise. Donation records & expense reports will be openly reviewed on the ground at Wild Roots Feral Futures by the organizers' collective and any other attendees/participants interested in such transparency and accountability. Any surplus funds will be redispersed to frontline land defenders. Every dollar helps. Thank you in advance! Click here to contribute: www.gofundme.com/r8qzn8 |

Not all tools can weapons, but all weapons can be tools. I was planing on bringing a couple light recurve bows and some arrows with practice tips. Thought it would be nice to do target practice / archery skill share. Should I leave them behind?

Rather then giving coca cola anything, i would recommend trying other options first. Your local water treatment plant will likely give you free 55gal barrels. After talking to the workers for a sec, they now call me whenever they have an empty one. Grocery stores, restaurants, laundry mats, all tend to have 5 gal containers w/ lids. Usually they hold veg oil or detergent, and the ones from water treatment hold a bunch of different chems. So rinse the hell out of them (we spray them out at the car wash). If all else fails, collect smaller water containers from the trash. Anything before giving a dime to coca cola.

This year we want to create a Conflict Transformation Group that will help facilitate conflict transformation/resolution/reconciliation workshops and skill shares and spread awareness on emotional and mental well being and healing intense states of being (PTSD, stress, ect.). I personally don't have too much experience with this but I want to try to encourage and participate in a group with people with more experience and people with less experience who are interested in learning/participating in conflict transformation. Along with more experienced folks doing workshops I am picturing rotating a group of people who could mark themselves with a color (like medics do) as people who are open to being approached by anyone who needs to talk about something uncomfortable, vulnerable, intense, or sometimes someone just needs some water or food or something. These roles could rotate every day (people could volunteer to be conflict transformation supporters at morning circle) to decentralize conflict transformation to as many folks as possible. You wouldn't really need any experience to be a conflict transformation supporter, just a willingness to listen to someone and be supportive to what they need. Especially if we have more experienced folks to offer guidance, I think this might be a helpful way to address the intense stuff that can come up for people in the woods. These are just a few ideas we've been talking about. What do you think?
