Volunteer Appreciation Fall Celebration

We haven’t said it enough – inside and outside the institutions, YOU make the programs happen. YOU play a critical role in supporting empathy, connection, and healing in our communities. So, we want to celebrate YOU and acknowledge all the different ways you contribute – including time, energy, care, money, empathy, resources, and connection!   Come enjoy Fall festivities at our Volunteer Appreciation Party for Freedom Project volunteers, family, friends and community. This evening will be focused on showering our volunteers and supporters with appreciation and fun over a deluxe taco bar and treats. Play games and win prizes! Enter

Decentering Whiteness in NVC, with Roxy Manning

For Freedom Project Staff, Board and Volunteers   Nonviolent Communication (NVC) guides us to re-frame how we communicate with each other, helps us identify what is alive inside and find ways to express that. It allows us to work through conflict peacefully with integrity, and improve how we express ourselves. But as amazing as NVC is at strengthening connections with self, friends, loved ones and community, the benefits haven’t been accessible to all communities. Sadly, NVC ’s packaging and delivery haven’t always been done in a way that’s felt inclusive to all.   In the criminal legal system, People of

“How We See People” Anti Oppression / Mass Incarceration

RSVP 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 the systems and institutions that shape the ways we see ourselves and others so that we can be more accountable for the impacts: internalized racial superiority, internalized racial inferiority, prejudice, fear and discrimination towards folks with conviction histories. Through practice, experience and discussion, we

NVC for You and Me (Module 8 of 8) – Leadership Series for Black, Indigenous and People of Color

Nonviolent Communication (NVC), sometimes called Compassionate Communication, guides us to re-frame how we communicate with each other. When combined with mindfulness, NVC helps us identify what is alive inside of us and find ways to express that. It allows us to work through conflict peacefully with integrity, and improve how we express ourselves. But as amazing as NVC and mindfulness are at strengthening connections with self, friends, loved ones and community, the benefits haven’t been accessible to all communities.
