About Event

Make friends who care about stuff at Soapbox Seattle, the city's most fun community space for climate action!

TLDR: January's theme is climate futurism. We're having a party for people who care about the planet. You're invited.


Wish you had more fun things to do on a Tuesday night than to doomscroll on social media?

Wish there were third places in Seattle where you can make friends without feeling weird about it?

Wish you could do something to take care of our one and only beautiful home?

Well, well, well. Aren't you in luck! Soapbox Project is a Seattle-based nonprofit that builds joyful community spaces for climate action. (We call these "vibraries" because why not.) We know how lonely and anxiety-inducing the world can be, so we're creating experiences that transform these feelings into meaningful change.

We make it simple for you to connect, learn, act, and reflect on important topics while making new friends!

The best part? It's every. single. Tuesday. evening. AND we serve you dinner!

Hi! I'm Nivi Achanta, one of your vibrarians.

I'm excited to announce that in January, our vibrary's theme is ✨climate futurism✨ which basically means we'll get to explore what the future of our dreams (healthy! joyful! resilient! equitable! super cute!) looks like.

On Jan 14th, we'll LEARN about the topic of climate futurism through a community Q&A with FutureArts

FutureArts is our amazing art partner. With decades of experience curating immersive artworks, public events, and digital programming, Future Arts brings together historically underserved creative talent to enrich and enliven Seattle neighborhoods.

The Soapbox team will facilitate a fun night of experiential learning and YOU'LL get to ask your questions, explore collaborative answers, and use your brain for good!

Content warning: This Q&A might blow your mind

More details for people who love details

All you need to bring is yourself and your best vibes. Bonus points if you bring a friend.

Activities will start at 6:35ish so do your best to arrive before then!

  • ​6-6:30 | arrive, put your stuff down, grab a lil drink, and relaaaxx with some casual chit chat or introvert time—whatever brings you joy!

  • ​6:30-7:00 | dinner time!

  • 7:00-8 | LEARN with this experiential Q&A between Soapbox Project, Future Arts, and you!

  • ​8-9 | Continue exploring what you learned with your new friends and decide what you want to commit to when you come back next week (or on your own time, if you can't make it)

​You’ll leave with new friends, new information, and the knowledge that just by showing up, you’ve made a huge difference towards a healthy planet 💚

This event is hosted by Soapbox Project, a nonprofit that creates joyful community spaces to heal our climate anxiety and loneliness through expertly facilitated connection, learning, and action activities. Find your place in the climate movement with our online and in-person community! I’m the founder, Nivi Achanta.

P.S. want a sneak peek for the rest of January on climate futurism?

Sneak peek: each month follows a connect-learn-act-reflect sequence. We finished connect, and you know all about the learn. On 1/21, we'll have City Councilwoman Alexis Mercedes Rinck to guide us through how we can actually advocate for change, followed by our annual tradition of making Better World Bingo cards. On 1/28, we'll do some solarpunk moodboarding.
