The Tea Party
Wednesday June 26th, 2019 with Brianna and Nico
Interview w/ Project Acorn + Current Events

JAM PACKED SHOW TONIGHT FOLKS! <3 We have Zoe joining us for tonight's edition of The Tea Party to tell us about an amazing organization called Project Acorn. Project Acorn is a radical community-building space for youth aged 16-24 from 2SLGBTQ+ identities, families, and communities. For four days, Project Acorn brings together youth and those in solidarity with youth and creates a safer, empowering, and liberating space, where people can share knowledge, make connections and build bridges. The program is a mixture of workshops, speakers, urban camp-like activities and magic that come together to create the most mind-opening and mind-blowing program possible. The folks at PA want to create space to challenge the ways we think about gender and sexuality, and want to be at the front of this movement! Later on tonight, we will also be discussing current events such as the concentration camps along the US/Mexico border, the Sudan uprising, and if we have time some pop culture momentz of importance.
