Monthly Solidarity Gatherings in the Spirit of Resistance!
Join Friends of the Eel River and our allies for solidarity gatherings on the second Monday of each month at Humbrews in Arcata from 5 - 7pm.
Join with community members to plan creative resistance to the Trump administration's destructive policies, learn about community initiatives, and take meaningful action to protect the people, creatures, and values we all hold dear.
Humbrews is generously donating a portion of sales during the event, so please bring your family out to have dinner and drinks and join the movement to support what our community cares about. There will also be a raffle each month and a variety of engaging activities.
On February 9 we will be making valentines and collecting donations for families affected by ICE actions in Minnesota. We will also present an update on Eel River dam removal and share a list of Black Humboldt events for Black History Month.
Organizations that are interested in partnering please contact Kanan at foer@eelriver.org.
It often feels like progressive and conservative Americans do nothing but attack each other. While this may be true in statehouses, online and in the media, when we connect in our day-to-day lives, it is clear that we are more alike than different.
This discussion group is for anyone interested in reaching out across the political divide and getting to know their neighbors. While we may share different perspectives on the hot-button issues of the day, this is an opportunity to get to know the ordinary people behind the politics and learn what makes them tick.
The goal is to turn down the volume on political rhetoric and move towards national unity, one conversation at a time. There is no set structure for the group. The only requirements are a willingness to share openly and listen respectfully, without judgement.
This new meetup group will be held on the second Monday of each month. For the first meetup, we will meet in the Village Pub at the Victorian Inn in Ferndale. Please RSVP at https://www.meetup.com/depolarizing-america-dialogue-across-the-political-divide/events/313059596/?eventOrigin=your_events. Also the location may change, so please check the meetup page for the latest details.

Tracey Barnes Priestley invites you to take a break from the noise of the week and spend a relaxed hour of respectful conversation and quiet connection. This class is simply taking an hour to pause and remember that we don't have to carry everything alone. This is a welcoming gathering where people can listen, talk if they wish or simply be present. There's no pressure, no fixing, and no debating - just respectful conversation and quiet connection. Classes held at HLOC's The SPACE in Sunny Brae; 92 Sunny Brae Center, Arcata Ca
This 5 week class uses rhythm of music from different genres to heighten the mind-body connection gradually building mental and physical flexibility. Taught by Fiona Gadd Ryder, trained Yoga teacher, musical theatre performer and dance enthusiast who has a love of bringing people together through movement. A fun class and a great way to connect with other likeminded "movers and shakers". Classes held at HLOC's The SPACE in Sunny Brae; 92 Sunny Brae Center, Arcata Ca
