This looks like an incredible opportunity! Black Spatial Relics 2025 Culture Council Funds - funding for Black gathering spaces that center cultural organizing - www.blackspatialrelics.org/conjurecounc... #BlackSky #SFF #QueerCommons
A flyer for a grant opportunity. It reads: Black Spatial Relics 2025 Culture Council Funds Black Spatial Relics is a convening space for and supporter of Black radical performance, community care, collective research and transformative gathering. Founded in 2016, Black Spatial Relics has championed new performance work about slavery, justice and freedom through its residency, microgrant and convening programs. As a continuation of that work, Black Spatial Relics team is excited to launch its new flagship program - Conjure Council Funds. Now more than ever we need spaces to learn and grow together in practices that root us in the work of sustaining our spiritual, emotional and physical wellbeing even as we continue to build and dream a world worthy of our light and futures. In this intention we launch a new program - Conjure Council Funds. This is an invitation for artists, cultural workers who are descendants of the African Diaspora to apply for resources to support periodic facilitated spaces that support Black inquiry, multi-valent learning and expansion. In line with the work of Black Spatial Relics over time, we see the facilitation of these spaces as a Black radical performance praxis in service of community. Flyer for grant opportunity reads: We especially encourage nominations from artist/collective facilitators that exist at the varied intersections of art-making, collective care, embodied practice, land-based work, youth-based work and spiritual practice. This may look like a community of practice coming together for a co-facilitated study space. This may look like a cultural organizing space working to assemble community members around creative approaches to local empowerment. We invite you and/or the collective to which you belong to submit your work to this simple nomination form. This fund is for individuals and small collective grassroot efforts that are based outside of the programming of formal non-profit organizations. Four councils will be awarded funds this round. Awarded projects will receive $4,000 to support their efforts. Timeline Nominations Open: Nov 10, 2025 Nominations Deadline: December 5, 2025 Round 1 Notifications: December 22, 2025 Round 2 Materials Due: January 15, 2026 Award Announcement: March 10, 2026 Funds Dispersed in Early Spring 2026 Supplemental Programming We know that these discursive and exchange based-spaces have much to learn from each other. Consequently, there will be one virtual gathering space for facilitators to come together and share about their work. Finally, we will invite participating facilitators and collectives to submit a concluding info-graphic/one page zine or otherwise learning material to share with the larger publics of Black Spatial Relics. Cultural workers based in the United States and in the Caribbean are welcome to apply. Black women, queer folks, trans* and gender non-conforming people, and people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.

Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys.

This is his story. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...
A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found.
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....
