Testimonials
I feel like I’ve tapped into some kind of electricity, some kind of force and that force is collective action, collective organising. It’s nourishing, it’s enlivening, it’s enriching.
Jacob V Joyce
This is an incredible format! It gets everyone to research and to discuss!
Mohammed Elnaiem
There is hope and inspiration by learning from liberation movements in the past. That we all take away different lessons from different stories, but it is really useful to convene and build collective understandings of our histories.
