Cabbage and sunshine filled Cal Anderson Park Sunday as the Kimchi Life Festival brought a day of communal fermentation to the popular Capitol Hill public space.
The event supported by the county and city was part of increased efforts to encourage activities gatherings in the park to help support the space. In September, An Urban Skills Survival Fair will bring another type of community building to the park.
One of the best things about Cal Anderson is that so many communities consider it part of their home turf and worthy of their love, energy, and action.
With the situation around the planned August 30th fundamentalist Christian rally moved from Cal Anderson to Gas Works resolved at the city permit level, a community response is also being planned with organizers holding a Trans Mutual Aid Picnic Saturday from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM in Cal Anderson.
“We’re inviting everyone who can come peacefully with love in their hearts for trans people to join us,” an organizer tells CHS. The event will also benefit the Gender Justice League as it “helps trans people who are in active danger get to safety,” the organizers said.
