Valentines for Collective Care event

The UIC departments of Gender and Women’s Studies and Black Studies invite you to our Valentines for Collective Care event! Celebrate love, care and community with us through an afternoon of card-making for organizations at UIC and across our community that are working toward collective liberation. We will provide cards, art supplies and all other materials, so come as you are and bring a friend!

We will write letters of appreciation and care to a variety of groups and communities on and off campus, including:

• UIC Cultural Resource Centers
• Chicago Abortion Fund, Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project and other groups supporting reproductive justice and healthcare
• Mijente, Organized Communities Against Deportations, AFIRE and other groups supporting immigrant and undocumented communities
• The Transformative Justice Law Project of Illinois and other groups committed to LGBTQIA+ justice and liberation
• Incarcerated survivors of gender-based violence at Logan and Decatur correctional centers

We also invite you to write a letter to any organization or group you wish to express your love and appreciation.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Hope to see you there!
