Shouting In Place

Today I have the very charismatic Hector Reyes chatting with me today! (@KeichiOkami)

We talk about all of there super awesome games that Hector has been playing and running. 

On our Spotlights from the Void we have two organizations! 

The first is: 

The Society for Creative Anachronism (https://www.sca.org/resources/) 

If you ever wanted to get into history and learn about the arts from way back when, the SCA will let you do that. They host events where everyone feels like they are experiencing the Renaissance, every dresses in time appropriate clothing and discuss arts and sciences and just general history of the times. They have also been working to make it an incredibly diverse and welcoming space for everyone. So now would be as good of a time than ever to check them out! 

Our next spotlight is going to be Color of Change. 

Color of Change is one the largest online Racial Justice organizations. They organize to help fight injustice, primarily for marginalized communites across the nation. Supporting them means that they can better communicate and better organize petitions and rallies to make sure those voices are heard! If you want to know more definitely check their website!

https://colorofchange.org/about/ 

And speaking of Color of Change they are one of the organizations that we are running a monthly fundraiser for!

For the month of August I am partnering with Difficulty Class to run a fundraiser for two great organizations. 

Color of Change and Black Table Arts! 

We are sticking with shirts again! There are two different shirts and each one goes to a different fund. 

The First shirt has their very awesome logo on it and will be going to Color of Change

And the Second one is their go to phrase "Read the Table" and this one will be going to Black Table Art, which is is an organization that directly supports Black Artists! They provide workshops and help create spaces to help Black artists thrive and get their work out there. If you want more information definitely check out their website! https://www.blacktablearts.com/
