This Earth Day, join the Women\u2019s Resource Center for Radicalize, Reclaim, and Recycle, an afternoon where activism meets sustainability through creative expression and community connection. Together, we\u2019ll explore how feminism, environmental justice, and sustainability intersect as we transform everyday \u201cwaste\u201d into art that reflects resistance, empowerment, and care for our planet.<\/p>\n

What is in store:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Sustainable\u00a0Vendor Fair:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Come shop at our mini vendor fair highlighting\u00a0upcycle and sustainable Milwaukee vendors!\u00a0Fast fashion and excessive packaging create massive amounts\u00a0of waste!\u00a0We’re\u00a0inviting\u00a0local\u00a0artists\u00a0whose products are made from\u00a0eco-friendly, recycled and\/or up-cycled materials to\u00a0sell their merchandise\u00a0to promote responsible consumption and support businesses that have a minimal impact on the environment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Clothing mending:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>If you have clothing items \u201cruined\u201d by stains or holes, we want to teach you how to fix them up instead of throwing them out, don\u2019t toss it lets fix them! The WRC will provide sewing machines, needles, thread, and spare fabric patches to make your clothes as good as new! <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Junk Journaling:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Tap into your creative spirit with junk journaling\u2014an art form that gives new life to discarded materials.\u00a0We\u2019ll\u00a0provide the supplies you need to create a personalized journal using recycled paper, old magazines, fabric scraps, and more.\u00a0\u00a0Feel free to bring your own “junk”, think magazine cutouts, old receipts, and even those stray stickers you never knew what to do with\u2014turn them into visual statements of power!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • A radical future:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>This event\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0just about creating\u00a0art or swapping clothes. Join\u00a0us in discussions\u00a0on\u00a0how feminism, sustainability, and environmental justice are interconnected. How can feminism contribute to sustainable futures? How\u00a0can we use our collective power to shift away from waste and consumption?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Throughout the afternoon, we\u2019ll also hold space for conversation about how feminist values can help shape more sustainable futures. By reclaiming materials, sharing resources, and creating art together, we can imagine new ways to resist wasteful systems and build communities rooted in care, creativity, and collective action. Come craft, swap, and connect as we radicalize the future, reclaim our power, and recycle with purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
