In Community Vol. 1: The Voices of Social Justice Origin Stories | 2024 + 2025

 No one gets to where they are by themselves, and this project would not exist without the collective wisdom of the storytellers who’ve shared their stories with us.

This is Volume 1 of “In Community”, a special series from Social Justice Origin Stories. This annual series brings together the voices of storytellers whose stories were published in a given year.

Many thanks to the storytellers who have contributed to this project and have trusted me and this space with their sharing.

The Justice We Imagine Vol. 1 | Social Justice Origin Stories

This is Vol. 1 of “The Justice We Imagine”, a special series from Social Justice Origin Stories. This series focuses on storytellers’ responses to three essential questions:  

When is true social justice possible?

What shapes our approach to the work?

Why does understanding and sharing our social justice origin stories matter?

As you listen to their responses, reflect on what your answers might be.

Thank You For Listening: SJOS 2024

That’s a wrap for this year. Many thanks to the storytellers who have contributed to this project and helped to give it life through their sharing. And thank you for listening, watching, and sharing their stories. Let’s hold our people close. Remember that people have always resisted and worked for liberation.  It will remain even more critical for us to share and spread our stories in the days and years to come.
