GAMING 4 JUSTICE Join our own Maiamama in Gaming 4 Justice-a fun weekly social justice gaming Twitch stream project designed as a space for personal connections and further consciousness raising! We've discussed Harm vs Intent, Copaganda and State Violence, as well as debuting original concepts such as “The Woke Clock”.  After these conversations we enjoy a game as both a palate cleanser and to look at the ways BIPOC, LGTBQ+, and Disability Justice intersect in entertainment and society. This week’s topic is Critical Race Theory and Why you are an idiot for being afraid of it and we will be playing unavowed. https://www.twitch.tv/maiamama
