First, Do No Harm: An immersive theater experience at RMC

We support this immersive theater project by Tara Rynders; please consider pitching in to help the campaign reach its goal!

….

“Inspired by personal accounts of healthcare providers and patients, registered nurse Tara Rynders created The Clinic as a year-long artist residency which serves to shed light on hospital work culture, and the rise of compassion fatigue, burnout and post traumatic stress..

Through performance, educational classes, interactive creative experiences and dance classes, The Clinic works intimately with healthcare providers and patients to create a stronger culture of self-care and a stronger authentic connection between nurses and patients so all patients feel seen, heard and cared for.”

More infortmation + tickets can be found at theclinicperformance.com

Join us Wednesday, March 28th at CU Denver for a fun, engaging, FREE community event with CeCe McDonald and Joshua Allen, both trans artists of color and prison abolition activists.

A lively community discussion will followed by a short Q&A, and a reception with light refreshments. Bring cash or a card if you want to buy a #BlackExcellenceTour tee-shirt too.

CeCe and Joshua will share some of their life experience, which will be followed by a moderated discussion about trans of color identity, visibility politics, racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights and fighting the rising tide of violence against trans communities.

RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/blackexcellencetour-at-auraria-campus-registration-44124997054

Details:
Weds. March 28th
7:00-9:00pm
Student Commons Building
1201 Larimer Street (2nd floor, Room 2600)
Denver, CO 8020

Info:
In 2016 Joshua Allen and CeCe McDonald started the #BlackExcellenceTour as a social justice project that combats violence against trans, gender non-conforming and queer people of color. By utilizing art, activism, and storytelling to bring attention to issues affecting our communities, they are sparking discussions about justice, freedom and equality that include those living at the intersection of marginal identities.

With rollbacks in basic human rights protections and rising trends in violence and incarceration that disproportionately impact trans and gender non-conforming people of color, it is more important now than ever that we fund resistance that is for and by the people most impacted!

About CeCe and Joshua:

CeCe McDonald is a black trans woman, activist & speaker. Rising to international recognition after surviving a white supremacist & transphobic attack, CeCe has quickly become an icon in the LGBTQ community. She fosters important conversations around mass incarceration, sexuality & violence and is the star of the recently released feature length film about her life & story, Free Cece Documentary.

Joshua Allen is a community organizer and abolitionist whose work revolves around issues of race, gender and policing. Their work of coordinating direct actions, movement building and analyzing the intersections of race and gender has been a beacon of inspiration for communities seeking change. At 21, Joshua is recognized as leading the cutting edge of new social & political movements. They have organized campaigns for justice in countries across the globe.
