A World Without Prisons? Ridiculous.

A Society Where Everyone Has Food, Shelter, Love? In Your Dreams. Exactly.

There will be reflection spaces for those who prefer group discussion, walks, alone time, and more.

Lunch will be provided.

Collectively process and reflect on your liberation work and today’s content in racial affinity spaces.

Let’s come together to set some collective intentions to move our liberation work forward.
