What's Happening

Detroit Queer Garden Network Rooted & Ready Workshop: We walk through the Red Cross / FEMA preparedness guidelines together, and everyone gets a printed checklist. Then we brainstorm as a group how to source, prep, and store each item, scaled to your household [just you, roommates, kids, pets, all of the above]. Most emergency anxiety tends to come from not knowing what you'd actually need. Walk away with a plan and the confidence that your household can shelter in place for at least three days.

Potluck: At 7 we shift into potluck mode. Share food, relax, and connect with other queer neighbors. Come for the potluck only if you like.

About Queer Garden Network: The Queer Garden Network of Metro Detroit is a decentralized collective experimenting with low-hierarchy organizing, shared knowledge, and queer ecological community. No membership, no rules, no permission needed to host something. Join the Discord to find out what's growing next, or bring an idea for your own event.

Food & Vibe

Provided:

• Vegan stew

To Bring: A dish to pass is welcome but not expected.

Vibe: Calm, practical, zero doom during the workshop, then sweatpants-level potluck chill. Fully stocked go-bag or a single birthday candle in a drawer somewhere, you're welcome.

What To Bring

Nothing required. Checklists are provided. Optional:

• A dish to pass
• A rough headcount of your household [people + pets] so you can scale your list
