Why Healing Justice?

Healing justice is as much about our right to wellbeing as it is about building power. The work we do daily to transform, abolish, vision and build beyond systems of harm requires a lot of us; as does the art of transforming conditions so that victory is possible. It requires us to be creative and sophisticated strategists, courageous and hopeful organizers, vulnerable and committed people. We do this work because we deserve safety and wellbeing, because we know better, because we come from traditions of people that have bent history towards dignity, self-determined wholeness, and because fundamentally our love for our people and the wounds we endure are a source of political imagination.
