More about this space
Kinfolk CoLab strives to serve as an intimate, intentional, pro-queer, affirming space for those who experience racial marginalization. It serves as a hub for grassroots efforts to coalesce, and as a justice incubator where groups live out their purpose and build momentum, ultimately creating their own spaces for greater impact in the future. All multi-purpose rooms are part of a communal, shared space, and the CoLab is both free to use and community funded.

The Board members of Kinfolk CoLab are (L to R) Christina Waters, Linda Francis, Stacey Austin, Ana Garcia Doyle, and Dot Lambshead Roche. Each are involved with local groups such as Black Residents of Oak Park, One Earth Collective, Oak Park Progressive Women of Color, Workout Warriors, Race Conscious Dialogues, and more. They have come together to facilitate new ways of caring for one another and building community together.
