Friday Jun 26, 2020
Friday Jun 26, 2020
Thinking about getting to the other side of this pandemic can feel pretty overwhelming. Let alone, dismantling white supremacy, coming into another national election year, remembering that we’re in the midst of a climate change crisis and the daily struggles of just being human. AND we have a unique opportunity right now to create a new future! This week Erin Tripolino shares the imagination and voice of writer, sci-fi scholar, “pleasure activist” adrienne maree brown. Erin is a birth doula, a learner, and leader of antiracist communities of practice, a parent, partner, Fabric friend, and fellow complicated human in progress. Together Erin and adrienne will spark your imagination about how you, too, can start small and just how big that could be.

To Get To The Other Side - Intro Trailer

Thursday Jun 25, 2020
What will it take to get to the other side of this pandemic moment? A lot of people are ready to cross the road and get...where exactly? If it wasn’t clear already, the recent uprisings make it clear that it can’t be “back to normal.” Like so many have wondered, “why?” about the proverbial chicken, we’ll pause to look for better questions about the crossings we face. Getting to the other side well will take some honest questions and some new thinking about what life on the other side. It will also take good company! A variety of Fabric folks will curate podcast episodes highlighting leading voices (via podcasts, TED, etc) on what could await us if we re-imagine the future rather than re-create the past when this is all over. Join us via your favorite podcast player starting June 28
Voices heard are from The Great Realisation (Tom Foolery)and Arundhati Roy.

Hear Now: Change

Saturday Jun 20, 2020
We would all like to go straight to the finish where white supremacy has given way to an egalitarian society and not deal with the hard and messy transition, but it doesn’t work that way. To get there white people need to learn, try stuff, mess up, receive feedback with grace, apologize and repeat.
In this Episode Melissa Lock and Fabric friend and change expert, Nick Tasler, talked openly about this huge inflection point around racial justice as two learning white people not feeling particularly expert at all and showing up anyway. Melissa shared some pieces of their conversation and some takeaways for herself and the Fabric community learning to be antiracist.
Black, Indigenous, Brown listeners, your listening, feedback and input is valued and welcome for this episode but not expected.

Hear Now: Momentum
Friday Jun 12, 2020
Friday Jun 12, 2020
The killing of George Floyd has ignited a broad recognition of the racism embedded in our American systems and culture. The resulting momentum for change is palpable. But it will take all of us to keep that momentum going long enough for the lasting, real change to begin to take hold.
For some of us things may feel like they are returning a little bit back to “normal” and we feel some breathing room. We must keep hearing and centering the voice of George Floyd and of black Americans reminding us that normal is not something we can go back to. Let’s use and build our capacity to be part of a new future where everyone can have the space to breathe.

What do you hear? What do you hear now? Fabric is turning to hear. First to hear and keep center the voice of George Floyd saying, “I can’t breathe,” and giving terrible voice yet again to the experience of being black in the United States. We turn to hear, again the voice both deep inside and beyond us that calls us to do justice, love kindness, and limp humbly with our God. Melissa Lock brings together voices to help us explore our individual and communal response right now.
