Coffee & Coloring: A Gathering to Honor Nolan Wells in Washington DC

The loss of Nolan Wells has stirred deep grief and righteous anger across our community. This special edition of Coffee & Coloring gives us room to feel it all. Close the laptop, set down the phone, and come sit with your people. We will color, sip, breathe, release our rage, and shape a stronger plan to fight injustice.
