WEBINARLeaders Grounded in Justice and Liberation
This webinar is an introduction to embodying liberation practices. It is for social sector leaders who want to refine or refresh their liberation praxis.
Often in the field, we focus on moving forward justice and liberation practices in our community-facing work and forget that it’s just as important to center these practices with ourselves and our organizational cultures.
Justice and liberation are embodied experiences. Although we have not yet lived in a world centering liberation, we can find refuge in the creative practice of imagining that future reality.
Our work is grounded in our values
OUR VALUESLEADERSHIPTranscending title or position, leadership is taking responsibility for what matters—including taking care of oneself to avoid burnout—and requires bravery and vulnerability.
LIBERATIONWe strive to actively dismantle white supremacist culture and systems of oppression within the nonprofit sector and society at large. We consider ourselves, and our organizational culture and practices as critical in this effort.
COLLECTIVE WELL-BEINGFlexibility, abundance, generosity, and asking for help combat the culture of burnout, scarcity, and urgency that are conditions of systems of oppression. Trust and accountability should not be punitive.
DEEP RELATIONSHIPSWe strive to cultivate relationships that go beyond transactions or simply liking another person. Deep relationship is forged out of struggle and requires trust, respect, compassion, and commitment to one another (and one’s self).
LEARNING THROUGH REFLECTIONEffective leaders make mistakes, take responsibility for their errors, and learn to do better. Self-reflection is a powerful tool for such learning and growth.
FLUIDITY X ALIGNMENTOrganizations, like individuals and groups, are constantly changing and evolving. Needs, responsibilities, relationships, and expectations are dynamic, and as such, early alignment and continuous calibration are essential for maintaining relationships.
