CCJFG: Weaving a Vision for Healing Justice, Abolition, Care and Social Transformation beyond the Carceral State
The California Criminal Justice Funders Group (CCJFG), the Race, Gender, and Human Rights Fund, and the Kataly Foundation invite you to join us for a very special afternoon of
conversation, political education and inspiration with Cara Page and Erica Woodland, authors of Healing Justice Lineages: Dreaming at the Crossroads of Liberation, Collective Care, and Safety.
This anthology archives and documents the cultural memory of health, healing, care and safety practices led by BIPOC, Queer, Trans, migrant, femme, women, sick and disabled communities; and frames these practices as both an organizing and bridge building tool. Page, Woodland and their collaborators demonstrate the connection between healing justice and abolition—in order to build a world without prisons, policing, and criminalization, we need to develop (and fund) long-term infrastructure for health, healing and collective care and safety led by the community. Together we will learn about healing justice as a political and spiritual strategy and the framework from which it emerges. We will consider ways to deepen our practice of solidarity with movements and how funders can support visionary efforts to transform generational trauma while advancing systemic change towards collective liberation, care and ways to address harm outside of the carceral state.
