The Church of the Ecstatic presents:
The Church of the Ecstatic 6/15 – The Tower
Cards from the following Tarot decks: Aquarian, Persona 3, Homestuck, and Dishonored.
Readings from the book The New Complete Book of Tarot by Juliet Sharman Burke.
Upsetting the intended order of the tarot series, we skip ahead to the Tower card- and highlight artists from the neighborhood of London surrounding the Grenfell Tower, which tragically caught fire the day before this show aired. Unfortunately, the tenants’ voices weren’t heard until there was a catastrophe. Here’s hoping it becomes a wake up call to landlords and lawmakers, in London and elsewhere, that we cannot remain imprisoned by false values and practices. Hopefully, we can create a new way of life.

WRIR Presents – Side by Side Town Hall: Title IX and Supporting Transgender Youth
On March 5th, Side by Side–a Richmond-based non-profit that is dedicated to creating supportive communities where Virginia’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning youth can define themselves, belong, and flourish–partnered with the ACLU of Virginia, Equality Virginia, and Nationz Foundation for a town hall discussion on supporting transgender youth.
Many in our community had questions regarding the Trump Administration’s decision to rescind guidelines regarding protections for transgender youth in public schools. The town hall was an opportunity to learn information on what the law says and how members of our community can support transgender youth in our schools today!
