Radical Faerie Liberation School

RADICAL FAERIE LIBERATION SCHOOL MANIFESTO 2.0

Just as in NOMENUS all are ministers and all are parishioners, here all are students and all are teachers. RFLS is an educational philanthropic corporation made up of shareholders and stakeholders in the Portland Radical Faerie Community and beyond.  Our school and market exists in service to Cascadia Radical Faerie Resource (CRFR), the Church of Nomenus, the Global Gatherings of Radical Faeries, and Rad Fae everywhere.  We use apps for Print On Demand (POD) products like gathering related t-shirt, mugs, calendars, poster prints, revolutionary literature (Faggots and their Friends Between Revolutions  books and artwork for sale!).  School creates expressions of online, pop-up, and a physical member co-op that sells queer gear, arts and crafts made by members, and much more.  School provides opportunities for work, gathering, creative, meditative, and retreat spaces.  

RFLS is built on a commercial foundation of a website that sells merchandise related to, inspired by, and for the liberation of the community and all beings.  We are building this around a Shopify store ($29 month).  We document the process as we go along. Documentation of process becomes a course in how to teach and repeat the course for new Radical Faerie Corporatists (RFC’s).  School and the web store functions as a community cooperative that provides meaningful, fun, and rewarding exercises in community building (AKK “work, jobs, employment, career, etc”).

Principles and Basis for growth is 1) Social incentives (it’s fun, your friends are doing it!) 2) immediate rewards (I made something!  I helped someone!  I got paid!)  and 3) Progress monitoring (wow, look at how far I’ve come in a week, month, year!  I want to do more and be more like that person in front of me and better be able to help the people behind me).  

More will be revealed.  The rest of the manifesto and the original are in a google doc....
