Join us for an evening of bouquet making (yes, you get to play with flowers 💐), a raffle, good food, and real conversation about how WU!, CUSP, and UMedics are building communities of care across our city.

It’s giving: soft petals 🥀, strong community 💪🏾, and collective action 🧑🏾‍❤️‍🧑🏼.

Join us on Sunday, February 15 from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. at The AUX in Evanston for a much-needed morning of community and care. Our second-annual Winter Wellness event is a collaboration with Women Unite!; Zora’s Place, Evanston’s first-ever Black, feminist bookstore; The AUX Wellness Collective, a space designed to inspire, heal and empower people on their journey to sustainable wellness; and The Sokana Collective, a nonprofit committed to birth justice and equity. Together, we're curating a much-needed morning of community and care.

We’ll have a yoga flow, some creative outlets, guided meditation, and a chance to peruse the shelves of Zora’s Place over some snacks and refreshments.

Join us as we celebrate another year of community and care over some good food, good company, and arcade games! Food and drinks will be available for purchase at the bar, and we’ll also have a raffle (duh!). 

In the face of this moment, where corporate monopolies and capitalist consumerism drain our neighborhoods of wealth, culture, and power, we want this Solidarity Market and Skill Share to serve as both protest and practice. Especially during the holiday season, it is a collective refusal to pour our resources into systems built on exploitation, and a recommitment to investing in each other.

By sharing this time and space together, we can exchange skills, knowledge, and care. Through art, conversation, and collective learning, we can dream and put into practice seeds of care and liberation.

Our goal is to uplift and prioritize makers, growers, and creators who hold deep commitments to the collective freedom of Queer, Trans, Disabled, Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Southwest Asians, and North Africans (SWANA), and people of the Global Majority whose lives and work are rooted in liberation.

We hope this marketplace serves as more than a place to buy; that it offers a small vision of what is and what could be—a reminder that we are stronger together.

Join us for a wonderful evening of conversation, community, and care. We’ll be meeting up at Movement on Montrose to view clips from One Another. This forthcoming documentary takes a look at the ways friendships support and shape us as they’re broken, tested, and remade.

We’ll be hanging out at Elston Electric on Wednesday, October 22 from 6–11:00 p.m. Pop in, say hi, and have some fun all for a good cause. 15% of all bar and arcade sales from the night will be donated to Women Unite! and Chicago United Solidarity Project.

Join Chicago United Solidarity Project, Cedillo’s Fresh Produce, Global Gardens Chicago, and Women Unite! as we connect our communities through meaningful events and a shared value of caring for all Chicagoans.
