THE RACIAL HEALING COLLECTIVE

The Racial Healing Collective is a space that is committed to futurity and collective survival for all communities, while keeping Black and Brown communities at the front of our hearts, minds, and moves. 

 

We are Black feminists, anti-capitalists, and abolitionists who care deeply about the social-emotional and community health of Black and Brown people. We ground ourselves and our work in Beloved Community, and we deeply value the wisdom and knowledge that comes from communities of color. We care about transforming the effects of oppression on our body/minds and relationships, and we are excited to work with Black and Brown youth in this work. We are redefining our safety, our healing, our interactions, and our experiences. We are drawing on Critical Race Theory, Universal Design, Disability Justice, and Restorative/Transformative Justice as infrastructures in our learning environments. We are working within our communities to address harm, crisis, and colonization, while remaining curious and open to engaging with the world.

Liberation is our ethic and Love is our politic.
