On Collective Liberation
In alignment with our values of liberation, shared leadership, and co-creation, we’ve been in continued conversation with our communities - internally and externally - about what collective grief and activism mean to us. We believe it’s important to use our platform both to amplify the voices in our community. Thank you to all who have shared their voices with us. It takes tremendous courage to call in the organizations we love and respect during times of collective grief and action.
