I've kicked into super high gear supporting community engagement (to the tune of 20-40 hours per week), and that means I haven't been doing much of my paid contract work. I'm working on creating cooperative structures to spread the load across other shoulders, but for now, it would be great to be able to keep it up and not fret about money choices.
I am a cultural worker who specializes in collaborative projects with people who don't think they are creative. I've done facilitation and cooperative advising/coaching for individuals and grassroots social justice organizations for 22 years, specializing in strategic planning, collaborative decision-making, conflict resolution/transformative justice, and anti-oppression initiatives. Basically: I help people and groups figure out what they want and how to do it. And usually, I do it for free/below cost because I want to see us thrive and grassroots groups are usually priced out of professional resources. But that doesn't pay the bills, so... thanks!
I am so relieved that there's a way for you to contribute to my sustainability so that I can keep doing community work along with my other jobs, and will also pay basic materials costs for community art and music projects.
