Patrisse Cullors
New York Times bestselling author, educator, artist, and abolitionist.
Patrisse's mission is to invite all of us to grow towards abolition through intergenerational healing work that centers love and collective care.
In this moment, we are understanding, more deeply than ever, that each of us is called to the work of self and collective transformation for a future that abolition has helped create.

Say YES to Imagination
We live in a toxic and violent culture that has permeated every part of our lives - even our social justice movement spaces are not exempt from replicating this framework.
As a culture, we lack the tools to effectively communicate our needs and expectations which can lead to harm, misunderstandings, and conflict.
An abolitionist framework challenges us to practice and refine our communication skills, to engage in conflict in creative ways, and to build our capacity to hold our collective complexity.
This training is invested in co-building models that are centered around care and the well being of communities to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of our lives.
