Quote:

“Here are the ways to ensure that the people impacted by injustice are at the center of your justice work. There are solid models that are made for regular people, not people with fancy degrees, not people with tons of power and privilege that can be replicated easily. For me, it's about listening to the people around you, getting a sense of what they care about, and getting together using some of the models that already exist in the world, like asset-based community development and community organizing strategy of one-to-one and small group conversations.”
