​Make friends and take creative climate action in Seattle's most joyful community space!

​Soapbox Project is back at it — we're a third place for climate solutions (a vibrary!), and we want to connect, learn, and take action with you. And I’m one of your hosts, Nivi Achanta!

​The theme of our October vibrary pop-up is ✨sustainability & style in the Salish Sea✨ and each Tuesday of October, we'll have a different focus (reuse, reduce, repair, and reimagine).

​Note: If you sign up for the full series, each week will build on itself (highly encouraged for maximum vibes!) but we’ve also set it up so you can pop by for standalone events.

​Come make friends, learn something new about circularity in Seattle, and take action with us!

• ​Who: Seattle neighbors struggling with climate anxiety who are also just looking for a fun hangout spot after work where life doesn’t seem so meaningless 🙃
  

• ​What: 3 hours of community hangout time (more below on the agenda for the evening) where you’ll learn, connect, AND take action
  

• ​Where: Anchorhead Coffee in Capitol Hill (1115 12th Ave)
  

• ​When: Every Tuesday in October starting October 8th from 6-9pm
  

• ​Why: Climate anxiety and loneliness suck. Learning how to reuse, reduce, repair, and reimagine makes life more fun (that’s a scientific fact). And learning how to advocate for circularity solutions on a systems-level helps us continue living on this beautiful planet!
  

• ​How much: $28 for one event, $88 for the whole four-week series (save 21%), FREE for Soapbox members (join here). Dinner, connection activities, expert guest speakers, advocacy tips, and good vibes are included.
  

• ​Bring: If you have clothes that can be upcycled, repaired, or mended, bring them. This is our first time trying out this format so we'll experiment together on what we can accomplish at the event vs. once you go home! Everything else will be provided.

​The plan for the evening. Theme: repair!

​Dinner will be served at 6:25 so do your best to arrive before then!

• ​6-6:25 | arrive, put your stuff down, grab a lil drink, and relaaaxx with some casual chit chat or introvert time—whatever brings you joy!

• ​6:25-7 | eat dinner with your new friends. we’ll have some conversation prompts if you want them, and you can also sit quietly and enjoy your planet-friendly / plant-based meal!

• ​7-8ish | community q&a with Janelle Abbott aka JRAT, a zero-waste upcycling expert born and raised into Seattle's textile scene. Don't miss the tea!

• ​8ish-9 | action time! (we will guide you through what to do)

​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 💚
