intentions

What would it be like to practice creativity, courage, and audacity to imagine a world free of colonialism, prisons, policing, capitalism, and other forms of oppression? And what if we put into action bringing that world into reality with our community? This space holds possibility while acknowledging truth of where we are at and what we are grieving.

The theme

"The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." Audre Lorde

As abolitionists, how do we fight for a world free of cops and prisons while also freeing ourselves from internalized policing? Internal and external decolonization is circular and simultaneous. We often use the same punitive tools the empire uses to police us on ourselves and our community, which is strategic on their part. This workshop explores of how we can heal from internalized systems of oppression while keeping ourselves accountable with compassion.
