Mend+Matter: Anxious about Climate Change? How to Stay Engaged in Activism.

Mend + Matter is a monthly community gathering that brings together hands-on mending and conversations that matter — all in a welcoming, creative environment.
Each event invites attendees to bring garments or textiles in need of repair - this month Summer will be out of town, therefore there will be no on-site mending. Beginning at 6:30pm we'll have a ~45-minute talk from a featured community member who shares insight on topics related to climate, sustainability, and systems change — sparking dialogue, curiosity, and action.

🗓️ Second Thursday of every month
📍 Topa Topa Brewing Co. (Thompson), Ventura, CA
⏰ Hang-Out: 6:00–8:00 PM | Speaker: 6:30–7:15 PM

This event is a collaboration between Climate Conversations, TIGEROWL, and Topa Topa, and is free to attend. All are welcome.

Small actions, shared stories, and the power of doing things together.
