Join us on September 16th at 4:00 pm ET for a conversation on healing justice with Cara Page. Healing justice is deeply rooted in Black Feminist traditions and shaped by Southern Black radical traditions. Cara will speak with CLASP’s Isha Weerasinghe about the importance of centering healing in social movements, how to holistically respond to generational trauma and oppression, and the connection between healing and liberation. This conversation is a part of our series on healing-centered liberation policy.
Healing-centered liberation policy thinks beyond what is and demands what should be. It requires new decision-making structures, acknowledges failed and abandoned policies, and recognizes both historical harms and ongoing discrimination. Because our current mental health, education, and workforce development systems, among others, are steeped in historical and structural racism, we must reimagine how public policy can respond to inequity beyond our existing systems. Cara and Isha will connect healing justice to this reimagining by affirming the need for healing in this new vision.
