welcome to kinship commons.

We're really glad you're here.

This space exists because many of us were tired of doing life alone. Tired of the isolation, the invisibility in the queer community, the weight of holding our families together without a village or family around us. Kinship Commons is an attempt to build something different. Slowly, imperfectly, together.

A few gentle things to know:

This is a BIPOC-centered, queer and trans affirming space. It is explicitly built to be safer for trans people, queer families, and BIPOC folks. You are welcome here as your full self.

There is no right way to participate. You can come to gatherings. You can come once a year or every month. You can sit quietly and watch. You can bring food. You can ask for help. You can offer something you have. You can show up and leave early. All of it counts.

Children are welcome. Noise is welcome. Kiddo big feelings are welcome. Rest is welcome.

If you have a need: practical, emotional, or otherwise, you can share it here and we will do our best to tend to it. If you have something to offer: a skill, a resource, helping hands, we would love to know.

Gathering details and locations are shared 48 hours before each event with confirmed attendees. We do this to keep the space safer for everyone.

Our community agreements live here: https://app.notion.com/p/kinshipcommons/Community-Agreements-32e5658a67c980f5bd16dfa6de75dd87
They are not rules — they are intentions we tend together.

If you ever have questions, feel unsure about something, or just want to say hello, you are welcome to reach out directly.

However you show up is enough.

Gently,
Mars
