AREAS OF FOCUS
Liberatory Consciousness
Personal and Societal Transformation
The development of a mindset that enables humans to live their lives, wherever they find themselves, in existing systems, institutions and relationships, with awareness and intentionality, rather than on the basis of the socialization to which they have been subjected.
Healing Racial Trauma
Every human deserves the opportunity to reach for and live in the context of their full humaneness. This requires supporting people and communities to heal from the trauma and ongoing damage inflicted by racism, white supremacy, and internalized racism and internalized white supremacy.
Climate Change
Counteracting the disruptive impact of racism on efforts to address the climate crisis and the dampening effect of climate grief. Racism interferes with the development of the broad coalitions of people needed to effectively address the climate crisis. Unreleased grief resulting from the existential threat posed by the climate crisis interferes with the effectiveness of our climate change work.
