FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Movements are made of relationships to resist domination and support survival. Being in organizations can be difficult, and many struggle with conflict. Many people burn out. Yet, we can’t build resistance without working together. This workshop examines how organizations cultivate internal cultures to support transparency, democracy, and accountability. We will look at how norms we learn from dominant culture can produce
harmful organizational cultures and explore methods that make our organizations more powerful, sustainable, and pleasurable. We'll examine what we need to grow and support collectivities to
produce new ways of working for liberation.
