JUSTICE ISN’T A MOMENT,

IT’S A PRACTICE

First-Ever #practicingJUSTICE Yearlong:
What we practice is who we show up as. We can’t expect to have a movement for justice if we aren’t practicing justice.

GROUNDING

no matter what work we are doing in the world, no matter who we are or where we have come from, we need a foundation upon which to rest and return to. if we want to know that what we are unfolding in the world in more awareness, more healing, more justice, than Practicing Justice must be that ground.

SELF-CARE

while our work seeks to uplift and change the material conditions for ourselves and our people, ultimately seeking to remove the “otherness” label all disenfranchised and people of colour are identified with, we continue to move the focus from ourselves and our wellbeing to the sidelines of our lives and work, with the false perception and understanding, that the work actually needs us to do this.

EMOTIONAL REGULATION

often we bring emotions from past experiences into the present and our reactions tend not to match what is actually happening. cultivate your ability to manage and accurately respond to emotional experiences that are acutely aligned with your core values and principles.

ACUTE ALIGNMENT

identifying, amplifying, and sourcing to our core values and principles so we may walk the earth as who and how we want to be in the world allows for deep healing and promotes contentment.
