<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">W4 calls for proposals for workshops and teach-ins that enable womxn and nonbinary people to share and pick up skills from other womxn and nonbinary people. We invite proposals for
workshops that democratize knowledge and engage our membership to learn new ways of doing, thinking, and being. We hope for workshops that aim to build support for our members' personal and professional development and at the same time, a space from which
growth can occur. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
