There's a new world coming!
Everything’s gon' be turning over.
Everything’s gon' be turning over.
Where you gon' be standing when it comes?
Bernice Johnson Reagon, There’s a New World Coming
As we dive into the 22nd AMC, we move in bold declaration of change. We are ready to break with the past, open new portals, and continue to re-imagine the world anew. We call forth the medicine and technologies of our ancestors to support and guide us to unlock a willingness to transform ourselves and in turn, the world.

There is no question we enter into this weekend with our hearts carrying the weight of living through such unimaginable times. We come to this space wrestling with rage and grief as we witness an onslaught of legislative attacks on our bodies and in turn our collective liberation. Now is a time to spiritually fortify ourselves, now is the time to deepen and build critical connections with our communities.

We’re summoning all of our healing modalities and activating our collective imaginations to do this work; from exploring AfroFeminist futures to ignite visionary solutions for a more just and sustainable world, to reimagining our collective notions of Black identity and demanding repair for other forms of white supremacist and state violence.

This weekend and beyond, we insist on our divinity, our healing, and our liberation.

Here in Waawiyaatanong, on the land of the Three Fires people where the curved shore meets the water, we do not fear the end of empire. We’ll be dancing in the embers, braiding seeds into one another's hair as we embark on a new horizon. We’re rooting into the wisdom of our Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee family, who know how to imagine new lives in the shadow of collapse.

Beloved AMC Community, let us convene in the spirit of activating our most radical imaginations, calling forth this new world together. Repeat these words by Gwendolyn Brooks, we are each other’s harvest, we are each other’s business, we are each other’s magnitude and bond.
