Developing Your
Social Justice Ethic
For many of us social media is the only thing shaping how we engage with social justice. Most of us have not had a space to think intentionally about our social justice ethic. We respond to things that we see in social media, we go silent for fear of saying the wrong things, we feel pressure to be experts on all things, we feel guilty when we struggle to care about “the next issue.”
This cohort will be a space for reflecting on our own experiences and stories, as well as looking at the different ways that women/folks have lived into their values. This cohort is for anyone who wants to think intentionally about how to make change. It is for folks with no social media presence, stay at home moms, folks working jobs in a variety of fields, and everyone in between.
This cohort is to help us get clearer on our context, our strengths and values, and sustainable ways to help make change.
