Dress Down, Rise Up

A Night of Imagination This Giving Tuesday

Hoodie Economics and Sneakers gala

Imagine a room full of dreamers in hoodies, changemakers in sneakers, all gathering for one powerful purpose - to light up the future through Indigenous knowledge and imagination.

This is a rebellion of the heart, a gathering of souls ready to rewrite the rules of how we relate to each other and to nature.

Here's the story we're about to write together:

The Vision 

We're seeking $150K to fuel AIME's Indigenous-led movement that's rewiring the world through imagination, mentoring, and custodianship. It's fuel for a fire that's been burning for 60,000+ years, ready to light up our modern systems with Indigenous systems thinking.

The Gathering 

Picture this: A space where imagination breaks down barriers, where authentic connection dissolves masks, and where real magic happens through unlikely bonds. You'll find yourself among storytellers, dreamers, and doers - because what you wear matters less than the dreams you bring and the bridges you're ready to build. This is about showing up as your truest self, ready to weave new possibilities.

Why This Moment Matters 

We're standing at the edge of the most critical design decade in human history. As our social networks fragment us, as nature cries out, as our ability to truly see each other fades - we need to remember how to relate. Indigenous knowledge isn't just an alternative - it's the blueprint for healing our broken systems.

The Symbols 

Why hoodies and sneakers? Because revolution doesn't wear a tie. These are the clothes of the streets, of youth, of movement and possibility. They remind us that real change comes when we strip away pretense and come as we are, ready to imagine something new.

See you there, dreamers.
