Linking the personal & the political
District Commons Emotional Solidarities is a radical, non-hierarchical, all-volunteer community project that aims centers horizontal, peer to peer emotional skills.
Key features of our circles is that they both
center the needs of specific groups, AND
welcome anyone affected by those issues
We are also a District Commons Patron Project, working with them to create collective possibilities through experimental commoning in autonomous communities, spaces, and projects.
bringing together diverse life experiences
By welcoming any one affected by an issue, these circles are diverse and offer a space to see how others are affected by these same issues in different ways. They also serve to both provide emotional support, and at the same time share the skills of emotional support to all present.
In this way, these circles distribute the skills and wisdom needed for communities to take care of each other.
