At Transformative Solidarity, we work with groups and individuals to transform patterns of white supremacy and gender oppression. Facilitators of the Transformative Solidarity model recognize everyone’s humanity, and understand that oppressive patterns are learned and can therefore be unlearned. Through group workshops, consulting, and coaching, we support participants to transform their own patterns and turn their privilege into change.
We know that there is a lot of work to do to create the world we need.
Let us support you in getting there.
– Transformative Solidarity is witnessing injustice and responding to it in any situation –
