The Radical Act of Staying Soft // Grief as a Portal of Possibility with the Emergent Justice Collective - E252

All That We Are

What does it take to stay human, together, when everything asks us to harden?

In this episode, Amisha sits in tender conversation with the Emergent Justice Collective led by Lisa, Lily, and Val, three transformative justice practitioners, grief workers, and embodiment activists who are visioning a different way of being with justice in the movement towards collective liberation.

As we witness deepening crises around us, the impulse of so many of us can be to turn toward formal systems of power and to demand accountability through legal institutions. But Lisa, Lily, and Val offer us something more. They speak of justice stemming from love and the knowing of our interdependence and shared responsibility.

Our movements are extensions of ourselves, of our positionalities, our rage and grief, and the communities to which we belong. Liberation begins in the tender spaces between us, in orienting towards relationality even as systems of oppression demand otherwise.

We hope that this week's episode really speaks to something deep in your body, and a possibility of how we live fully with everything that is happening in our world.
