Come Curious.
Leave Connected.

Join us at Drip Collective (172 N. Racine) for a joy-forward night rooted in reproductive justice, pleasure activism, and the beautiful belief that educated and embodied communities are foundational to collective liberation.

We’ll have a panel discussion that’ll tell it like it is. We’re talking bodies, consent, power, and the systems that shape it all. Expect honest conversation and the kind of clarity that inspires compassionate action and care.

For folks who want to stick around, we’ll have some time to craft, zine, and vision board. It’ll be a chance to imagine and begin building a more liberated world.

Of course, we’ll have a raffle, delicious food from Snackie Chan and ArePA George, and drinks—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

This event is 18+. If you are planning to drink alcohol, you must present a valid ID to receive a wristband.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the panel will begin around 7:00 p.m.

Tickets are required and can be purchased below. Can’t make it? Support our vision by making a donation.
