-Emergency preparedness instructors
-Grassroots organizations
-Artists whose work aligns with empowerment, safety, and healing

We strongly encourage applications from:

-BIPOC focused organizations
Queer focused organizations

-Healthcare equity advocates

This is a health-fair style event with structured programming, educational workshops, and community networking. We are prioritizing vendors who provide:

-Health education
-Safety tools or training
-Mutual aid resources
-Advocacy services
-Cultural competence education
-Community support services
-Values-aligned creative goods (ex: using some profits to donate to community, or using creations to advocate for mental health)
-Original, handmade, or artist-designed work
-Are directly involved in the design and/or production of what they sell
-The more unique and value-aligned your work is, the better.

VALUES & EXPECTATIONS

-Hate speech, harmful imagery, or exclusionary messaging will not be tolerated.
-To ensure a balanced market, we may limit duplicate product types.
