Community

EVENT DESCRIPTION: All ages are welcome! Because this event contains emotional and difficult topics, please let us know if you need any support for young children – we’re here to work with your needs! This workshop is offered free of charge, and lunch will be provided. How do we see people? What’s the impact on others? What lenses do we see through and where do these lenses come from? How are *we* seen? Whether we are overvalued or undervalued by society, the ways that we are seen are influenced by multiple systems, histories, experiences, and institutions. This workshop seeks to explain

Freedom Project works alongside the community to dismantle the institution of mass incarceration and heal its traumatic effects on individuals directly impacted by incarceration, on their loved ones, and on our community.  As a community-centered and culturally-responsive organization, we come from, are in, and are directed by the community we seek to serve – working to center those most impacted and marginalized, especially Black, Indigenous, and Communities of Color. We create space for collective healing and liberation by seeing each other for our humanity, meeting needs as defined by individuals and by the community, and amplifying the power that already exists among us.
