The Lenguas Locxs Writers Collective is a writers group and workshop in Austin, TX for women, femme and non binary writers to form community growth. 😃

[@LenguasLocxs @lenguasloc]

However, we recognize that we have failed to resolve conflicts and/or intervene when harm and instances of anti-Blackness have occurred in our workshop space, and for this we apologize.

The Lenguas Locxs Writers Collective (in partnership with Red Salmon Arts / Resistencía Bookstore) was founded on the importance of a space for women, femmes, and nonbinary writers at all stages of writing experience to form a community of support and mutual growth.

[@LenguasLocxs @lenguasloc]

The strength of our collective and consistency of attendance have shown us that many of these workshops helped our members mutually grow and feel supported. Because of this we understand the profound responsibility that we have to foster a creative space that is safe.

Here is a link to our full statement and a list of collected organizations and additional resources to support the Black community, learn proactive ways to practice anti-racism and decolonize one’s thinking, and to take action:

As a frijoles y maiz nonprofit org, we've learned how to be resourceful & survive. However, most of our funding is predicated on in-person events, which in this new age of COVID-19, will mark a great shift in how we'll proceed. So, tu apoyo importa aquí: https://t.co/fAxXsUDx1f
