falling apart: a strategy in self care and activism, via Joanne.

my work being one of witnessing the hard feelings unfold, of creating a space of honest conversation where anyone of any gender can fall apart around me and i will listen, i will love, i will honor your survival and remind you that it is okay to let it out that you cannot hold all that pain inside.

as a masculine person of color i take this role seriously. often this role falls on the backs of women, of femmes and that is playing into patriarchy.

Creative Interventions Toolkit | Community Accountability

from Billy. “Organizations that deal with domestic violence and sexual assault generally view violence as an individual problem or rely on the police and criminal justice system as a solution. We wanted to turn back to our communities and strengthen community-based systems to resist violence in all of its forms.”
