Ignite, Transform, Heal: A Conversation With CPC

For the sixth installment of our Community Sustainers Drive, we sit down with Samhita and Giannina, co-directors for The Center For Participatory Change, a democratically run, multiracial organization that works to open up space focused on learning, healing, and relationship building for folks most affected by structural inequalities. Throughout our conversation, we take a deep dive into the three circles of their work: popular education, racial equity, and language justice, as well as Samhita and Giannina's experience taking leadership within the organization. Finally, we discuss what they have in store for their upcoming 20th anniversary celebration. We hope listeners enjoy hearing the complexities of what it takes to build relationships, heal in community, and ignite collective action to transform systems of oppression.
