A community gathering to grieve, to connect, and to root in collective care ❤️🔥 "Unresolved grief inside a person is tragic. Unresolved grief inside a nation is catastrophic." -Valarie Kaur This Grief & Solidarity event is not just about grieving. It’s about weaving our collective sorrows into sustained action.

Writer & comedian Alison Zeidman is only in her 30s, but already she has one Emmy nomination, one Writer’s Guild Award, and not just one but TWO dead parents. Impressive! Alison’s dad died due to complications stemming from Multiple Myeloma in 2014 when he was just 55, and her mom was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s at age 58. Frankly, looking at that family history, she does not like her odds for longevity — she needs to start getting her affairs in order, and so do you. In READY TO DIE?, Alison will walk you through all the basics of end-of-life […]
