ACORN Camp for Parents & Guardians
Alert. Connect. Organize. Resist. Nurture.
December 1 – 29, 2025 | Mondays, 4-6 PM PT | 7–9 PM ET
6-Week Virtual Training Series | 1.5 hours each + optional 30 minute Lab
Why ACORN Camp?
As book bans, anti-trans laws, ICE raids, and rising authoritarianism threaten our families, parents and caregivers need practical survival plans that protect children and communities. ACORN Camp is not about fear—it’s about being ready.
Together, we’ll build strategies to:
Prepare go-bags and emergency plans for families with children
Design care networks for elderly and disabled neighbors
Develop communication systems when tech or trust breaks down
Raise children to resist lies and support each other with empathy
This is abolitionist survival work: practical, trauma-informed, and rooted in love.
Who It’s For
Parents/guardians of PGM/BIPOC undocumented, disabled, queer & trans children
Caregivers, aunties, elders, pod leaders, and mutual aid coordinators
Anyone raising or protecting kids who want to prepare without panic
