Liberation & Equity

Systemic oppressions, including oppression based on race, gender, and class, impact us all – from how we experience violence to the solutions available to us, from the biases we hold to the privileges we have. In order to envision and create a world free from violence and with justice for all, we need to strengthen our intersectional analysis, deepen our understanding of the interlocking systems that stand in our way, and engage in liberatory practices. Through relationship building, developing shared language and analysis, and centering histories, we practiced how to show up grounded and powerfully in these dialogues, how to interrupt dominant culture habits, and how to center equity and liberated ways of being.
