Dear Crisis

Dear Crisis is a New York City-based community that brings people together to navigate the metacrisis—an interconnected web of global challenges including climate change, political polarization, institutional decay, economic inequality, loneliness, and erosion of trust. They host monthly Metacrisis Salons in Brooklyn, creative incubators called The Deepening, and community-generated gatherings to foster meaningful relationships and collective action. Founded by Benjamin Von Wong, Michelle Bernabe, and collaborators they emphasize that the antidote to overwhelm is in-person connection, turning crisis into a starting point for energy and community.
