A reminder that this awesome, wholesome, and kid-friendly event is happening tomorrow at 6pm EST! Do you like board games and fun activities? Want to meet new people in the NC Triangle community? Join us for a fun and memorable night of laughs, excitement, and joy! Feel free to RSVP via our FB event (https://fb.me/e/2PZ93d6bR)

Have you heard of the Avila Center based in Durham

Have you heard of the Avila Center based in Durham, NC? Its mission is to support and connect community organizers and leaders working collectively toward systemic change in the South and beyond. They offer 50 acres of green space, meditation trails, meeting spaces, and overnight lodging.

Join Self-Help, Raise Up, United for a Fair Economy, Peace Hill, and others on Saturday, October 1st, 10am to 1pm EST, for their opening celebration! This is an opportunity to get to know their space and connect with like-minded individuals in the community.

Despite unprecedented extreme weather, droughts, f

Despite unprecedented extreme weather, droughts, floods, and fires increasing each year, we see little to no action from capitalist leaders that match the urgency of the crisis. Actions must be taken immediately to end fossil fuel use, restore ecosystems, and transform our relationship with the planet to ensure humanity’s future. If we act now, we collectively have the tools to reverse the crisis in one generation, but capitalism — the very system that created the crisis — stands in the way of the transformations needed.

Join us at PSH Monday, October 24, at 7pm for an event featuring Tina Landis, activist and author of Climate Solutions Beyond Capitalism, and learn about real solutions to the crisis, how capitalism acts as a barrier to the change that is needed, and how under socialism, humanity can implement the transformations needed for our survival.

Have you heard of Triangle Queer Yarn & Needlecraf

Have you heard of Triangle Queer Yarn & Needlecrafts? This is a group for queer-identified folks in the NC Triangle to share projects, ask questions and have fun with yarn & needlecrafts! Anything that involves yarn or string and a tool is welcome! For example: knitting, crochet, tatting, cross stitch, embroidery, punch needlework, needlepoint, yarn/string wall hangings, quilting etc...

This is also an antiracist space that does not condone hate speech or bullying. Be kind and respectful to other members as you get to meet others in the Triangle community at their upcoming events! Join their FB group for exact times! https://www.facebook.com/groups/yarnandneedle

Registration opens today for an *in-person* collective embodied practice group with @Somatic_Sanctuary! Have you been longing for ways to break through the isolation of pandemic times? To generate a sense of embodied safety and connection amidst despair and hopelessness? We will explore the ways shame, trauma, and internalized oppression live in our bodies and use somatic practice to transform towards more pleasure, joy, and ease.

The series will follow a somatic arc of transformation: developing commitments, pleasure-based resilience, exploring our automatic responses, practicing new ways of relating, and closing with centered accountability and transitions. By doing this work in a group setting, we have the opportunity to learn off of different bodies, histories, and wisdom. You are welcome to join with any level of experience with somatics. https://www.doraeliana.com/somaticgroups

Rally your friends and family for an upcoming affo

Rally your friends and family for an upcoming affordable housing rally called Thirty for Thirty hosted by the CEF: Community Empowerment Fund on August 20th from 4-6PM @ the Bull (211 W Parrish St.).

At Thirty for Thirty, we advocate that 30% of future housing projects be designed for people making 30% of Area Median Income and below. We hope you can make it, and not, we hope you can find the time to tell somebody who might be interested. Thanks so much for your interest!

The current education system is dominated by polit

The current education system is dominated by political narratives devaluing the very people our schools are supposed to serve. Students, teachers, administrators, and staff are left underpaid and under-supported while scapegoated for the systemic problems facing these institutions. More specifically, this manifests in students, disproportionately Black and other marginalized identities, being suspended and over-disciplined, teachers burning out, and left without tools to manage classrooms.

Hosted by Dangers of the Mind (@Dangersofthemind), The Black Student Experience is a safe space to develop black students’ social-emotional skills while hearing their true voices on what lived civics looks like from their perspective. Join them as they continue to build community and listen to the needs of our black youth.

Did you miss our open house? No worries! Check out our latest blog about the latest happening at our center and learn more about how your organization can collaborate with us. This space is unlike most in that we have a suggested solidarity sliding scale to make the People’s Solidarity Hub as accessible as possible.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, rising

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, rising energy and food costs pushed the annual inflation rate in the U.S. to 8.6% in May, the highest rate in 40 years. With the price of food, gas, and rent skyrocketing, how do bosses and corporations make billions while working people struggle to survive and barely make ends meet?

Join Workers World Party - Durham, this Friday, July 29th, at 6:30pm for a discussion on where global business profits come from, and why it goes to only a few billionaires? What causes an economic crisis? And most importantly, how can the working class overcome divisive struggles and unite to change capitalist systems?

Please come with any thoughts or questions you may have. They'll have light snacks available. The event will take place indoors, masks, and social distancing will be required. No prior reading is necessary

Have you heard about NC Climate Justice Collective

Have you heard about NC Climate Justice Collective (@ncclimatejustice)? They are working to transition North Carolina to a regenerative economy, ensuring all people and our planet thrive by engaging directly impacted communities to build grassroots power, development movement infrastructure, and align frontline struggles!

We look forward to hosting more community organizations that address climate and environment as a multi-racial intergenerational movement.

Recently we welcomed AVL Rise, as part of the OpenDoors of Asheville network, as they connected with the Carolina Youth Power Fund and No Cap 2020 for a weekend of community building. Their goal for the weekend was to increase literacy, spread black joy, and help students understand their power all while having fun!

We love to see collaborations take place in Durham

We love to see collaborations take place in Durham, which is why we were excited to welcome Durham Beyond Policing (@durhambeyondpolicing) and Ready the Ground as one of the first groups to set foot in PSH. They held an all-day internal membership training and political education grounding. They gave us a lot of constructive feedback on how the space can be improved upon and made more user-friendly!

As we get closer to our open house next Saturday,

As we get closer to our open house next Saturday, we wanted to share out a few words from partner organizations that have enjoyed using our space!

Thanks to Muslim for Social Justice (@msj_nc) for hosting their rally prep with us a few months ago and taking advantage of our space and supplies. They utilized the space to ground participants in their goals for the rally: to support Palestine and connect the Palestinian struggle with the Black liberation struggle and other struggles among oppressed people globally, ultimately to build a collective movement.

The Space

As we grow our movements throughout the South, there is a pressing need for physical spaces that fuel and strengthen our movements.
