collective awareness of power and privilege, empathy, and emergent strategizing

Experiencing abundance starts with noticing that we have plenty of conditions for systemic happiness. We just need to practice noticing and moving towards what generates happiness & long-term stability

The punitive model presents itself as being both necessary violence and a necessary force against violence. It’s logic rejects the possibility of an alternative to the myth of redemption through imposed force. The first significance of Restorative Justice is simply that it exists

@solidarity_is remembering: "Accountability is important. Accountability is not punishment. Punishment does not transform people, communities, or systems. Punishment is not required. Accountability is." - Ash-Lee Henderson @HighlanderCtr

@Freelance_Beat Oh, this is so wonderful to hear! I don't anticipate being a journalist, but I do hope to write & share regularly!

Thank you for the many ways you share hope and clarity in the world <3

We are dependent on a justice system where our assaults will go unnoticed unless we become a viral trend on social media. Let that sink in.

Who do you hope to find more peace with, in your life?

[NVC Desi @NvcDesi]

Yesterday, I knew my partner was wrong. Then, I was surprised by all the judgments I was carrying. Eventually, I realized that I was feeling rage and pain. Now, I feel compassion for us both.

[NVC Desi @NvcDesi]

The sooner we notice that our moralistic judgments of others are coming from some unhealed hurt of our own, the quicker we find solutions that truly work for all of us.

When we can find solutions that work for all of us, we find peace in our relationships and lives.

Time to listen and learn, my friends!

The earth holds so much power. We must all work together to honor it.

Grateful to share that Asian staff at @RaceForward crafted the body of a statement that our org released today, centering our voices condemning the anti-Asian racism, misogyny, and white supremacy that fueled the #AtlantaShooting: https://t.co/Wi1yK8XFMQ

[NVC Desi @NvcDesi]

To heal and nourish ourselves and the world, we must look deeply into the root causes of our suffering. - Learned from Thich Nhat Hanh.

This must be how we understand those who cause harm. Deep looking is required for change.

My wish: we learn to forgive so that we can change

A willingness to live with conflict denotes the resilience required to live democratically. Aversion to conflict is the first step on the road to authoritarian repression.
