Sharing and exploring thoughts about policies and processes within our activist groups, that aim to translate our values into practices.
Alternative Justice, Gastivists Collective, RadHR and The Global Grassroots Support Network organised exchange sessions on Care practices, inviting people to think deeply together about what it means to live our values in the ways we organise.
This current configuration is clearly only a starting point, and we know that the cultures and learnings around care, accountability, anti-oppressive practices and just being more human with one another, vary from place to place. This is never easy work, but countless kindred spirits are doing it, all around the world. It is not new, but it is spreading and the links are being made to share the learning from group to group.
National borders will define some of the legal, cultural and linguistic aspects of how we organise, but we have more to learn from those operating in different spaces, than separates us!
There is a wave happening right now – more and more of us are thinking deeply about what it means to live our values in the ways we organise ourselves.
We are exploring together ways to put our values into our policies and processes, in the ways we think about our budgets or internal work. Join us!
