We recognized ourselves as vulnerable as a community. On this path of listening and affection, we opened our hearts to share the risks that activists experience in their lives; we named the individual challenges they face, and at the same time we identified the structural violence that reminds us that the collective is a path.
We discovered that despite facing particular risks due to our contexts and identities, we are always connected by a historical moment marked by economic precariousness.
We invite you to continue talking about your experiences and fears to continue building care practices.
Voices of care
Let’s keep weaving our experiences.
