"THE WINDOW OF TRANSFORMATION" chart by Kai Cheng Thom. (They are so inspiring.)

Um... I'm still gonna punch nazis, tho. Is that okay? Not sure how to square that with non-punitive accountability, but I’ll keep trying.

Thoughts?

[feelcritical]

sometimes i ask myself if pictures of nonviolence and art works about political conflicts have an impact.. and what are they doing for the culture as a whole?

what can we as individuals do for a society and culture of peace, if we don't live in places where thoughtless governments through bombs on our siblings?

what can we do to contribute to a culture that opposes war already before it can start?

what structures do we need?

can we support eachother with the people that live around us? no matter where we are?

in the end i think also images and art can help transform society and culture to a more just one.

Still an evasion rather than an answer.

A new article by Salt Lake Tribune I was interviewed for on keeping youth out of incarceration in Magna City, Utah.

I don’t want to live in a world where people are disposable. I don’t want to live in a world where people who are deemed as toxic remain only as the single word and nothing more. I don’t want to live in a world where we cut and discard human beings. I don’t want to live in a world where people become defined by single words that overlook the entire book that they are writing and have been writing their entire lives. I don’t want to live in a world built from generalizations. I want to live in a world where we look deeper at one another. I want to live in a world where we have the capacity and emotional intelligence to understand that when people are “toxic” it is not a stagnant existence but rather a way of being resulting from a toxic system. I want to live in a world that fosters growth. I want to live in a world that unshackles people from their 2 dimensionalized caricatures. I want to live in a world that communicates and offers people the benefit of knowing what is toxic and how to change.

{november 3, 2020}

we are living in painful, violent times. so many people are going to be hurt, predominantly people who have already been hurt in so many ways, over the generations and years. they are hurt by those who actively choose violence, and by those who uphold status quo, not questioning or investigating the foundations.

those who find pleasure and profit in creating vulnerability and suffering will continue sowing seeds of division, as they ever have. they will build their power through exploiting people and making them desperate - they will use it to harm anyone who doesn’t fit into their regimented world view, and in fact, those who do, too. When Harm or Be Harmed, Kill or Die is someone’s perspective of the world, they don’t treat other people well. I would dare say, they don’t even treat themselves well. 

we? we are different. 

we are different because we choose to care for ourselves and other beings - those like us and those dissimilar, in all the layered, faceted ways that Beings can be resonant and harmonious. 

we choose to actively work, bit by bit, day by day,  to create kinder, safer worlds - 

ones where more people have homes and other spaces free from violence.

worlds where more people have clean water and nutritious food. 

ones where more people can learn and create and express themselves  in multifarious ways with endless possibilities only limited by imagination.

worlds where more people can just Breathe, and Be.

ones where these are the default, baseline experiences, not the exception.

worlds where we continuously affirm the sanctity of life  and embrace our place in the weavings of living,  among so many other beings we share existence with.

we can’t make everything perfect overnight. we can’t make everything perfect ever. 

but we can Make It Better, and we will do it Together.

the Works of Lifetimes  are done in the usual way - bit by bit, day by day.

Read the post below! Reposted from @theguerrillafeminist - THIS! #Repost @mia.mingus with @get_repost ・・・ I gave an all day training yesterday on transformative justice and mid-way through, a participant asked me, “this may seem like a silly question, but how are we defining violence?” . I answered, that it is not a silly question at all — in fact it is a very important and complicated question — and that we need to have more conversations with each other about what violence, harm and abuse are because not everyone has the same understandings. For many, sexual harassment is seen as a normal and “fun” way to behave in the workplace. For many, beating your child or withholding love and affection are understood as normal, even admirable, ways of parenting. For many, misogynist, transphobic, and homophobic language and actions are perfectly acceptable. . We need to build shared definitions of violence and harm in our communities, families and relationships... And our world, and this tweet is a perfect example. . .

¨~POD~ Your pod is made up of the people that you would call on if violence, harm or abuse happened to you; or the people that you would call on if you wanted support in taking accountability for violence, harm or abuse that you’ve done; or if you witnessed violence or if someone you care about was being violent or being abused.¨

do u have a pod?

Did you miss Leigh Goodmark and #TeamNRCDV's Heidi Notario on KALW? 🎧 Listen at the link here! SUCH a crucial discussion about how COVID-19 has impacted survivors, why the Violence Against Women Act's (#VAWA) reliance on police doesn't support survivors, and how to integrate transformative justice into this movement.
