Our intention is to continue building practices and systems that prevent gender-based violence, and go upstream to find our solutions! We'll spend some time building relationships in a low pressure, but impact focused environment where we practice the liberation we want to see - norms of care and consideration in our relationships and systems. Our central question in this cohort is - what does Justice for survivors and those we've lost look like?

We look forward to answering that question with you!

LOCATION:
Zoom - link will be sent to registered participants prior to our first session.

WHO: This meeting is open to prevention educators, community organizers, your preventionist aunties, and other providers from adjacent systems interested in this intersection.

Registration Required...
Accommodations: ASL interpreters available upon request.

WHY: Not every survivor can be served well by "main stream" systems. We want to ensure that our analysis and practices account for criminalized survivors, immigrant survivors, trafficking survivors, disabled survivors, sex workers, and other populations often underserved or intentionally disenfranchised. It's beyond time that we look at the limitations of carceral feminism, and invest in community-based strategies that prevent harm instead of over-resourcing response.

WHAT: Once a month we'll gather to learn how we can plug in to work that addresses root causes of gender based violence in our communities. We'll talk about what harm looks like in community and systems and practices and conditions we want to build...

“The existing criminal justice model poses two main questions in the face of social harm: Who did it? How can we punish them? (And increasingly, how can we make money from it?). Creating safe and healthy communities requires a different set of questions: Who was harmed? How can we facilitate healing? How can we prevent such harm in the future?"
