From the organizer, Sabrah n'haRaven, Pagans for a Fair City:

As a pagan who believes in the immanent Divine, that all living beings are an embodiment of the Goddess, and that we do have the power to create change, helping to build the just world I want to live is a given. My spirituality inspires and infuses my involvement in social justice issues; they can't be separated. And I know I'm not alone. But too often, although many pagans are involved in social justice work, we're invisible within the greater activist community, even at events that are specifically interfaith. We work alone with our individual secular activist groups, not coordinating our power as a faith community. Limiting ourselves this way, we also limit the amount of good we can achieve, for ourselves as pagans and for the greater community. Power shared is power multiplied.

If you are -- or would like to be -- involved in any kind of social, economic, racial, or other justice work locally, in local government, in any kind of work to create positive change right here and right now, please join me for an introductory get-together to discuss creating a new network to share information and coordinate actions -- activist or magical -- as a pagan faith community. Is such a network needed? What would it look like? How else can we stand together in our work? What would you like to see to happen in Asheville around the intersection of pagan spirituality and advocacy work?
