WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!
A Special Disability Justice Series for Healing Practitioners on Wednesday, April 12th from 5:30 - 8pm PT & Wednesday, April 19th from 5:30 - 8pm PT Our intention for this series is to create a space for Healing Practitioners both within our network and within the broader community to address and discuss systemic ableism, ableism within our (healing) practices and the history of Disability Justice in the US and the roots of the Healing Justice Movement. We hope to weave together an understanding of how many aspects of our collective movement work intersect with and include Disability and Healing justice, including Abolition, reproductive rights, etc... To help our community delve into this important work we enlisted the support of AnteUp. AnteUp's philosophy is "Guided by all the best components that have come from spaces communities created, ANTE UP! is a call to action and a guiding philosophy for who we want to be and the world we want to be a part of creating. Our curriculum uses social-emotional learning as early Freedom Schools in the US south offered, centering care and healing through common experiences and community support is what guides us in creating assessments and activities advised by a doula framework, the knowledge that there are other paths to justice not only one, and our value in media making for using the common phrase ANTE UP! to move all in for the greatest experience for all to win. We all must ANTE UP! for healing, justice, and liberation." We are deeply grateful to Bianca I Laureano, AnteUp founder for saying yes to our request! We are also soooo happy to have Freedom Community Clinic & Health Justice Commons sponsoring the series! This Liberation & Healing work is truly for all of us! |
