Charis welcomes editors Tessa Hicks Peterson and Hala Khouri, MA for a panel discussion of  Practicing Liberation: Transformative Strategies for Collective Healing & Systems Change: Reflections on Burnout, Trauma & Building Communities of Care in Social Justice Work.

The editors will be joined by editor of the accompanying workbook, Keely Nguyen, and contributors Nkem Ndefo, Jacoby Ballard, and Leslie Booker. Practicing Liberation is a trauma-informed anthology with contributions from 13 activists and community organizers—for readers of adrienne maree brown, Staci K. Haines, and Ejeris Dixon.

When your work is inextricable from your identity, your community, and your own liberation, you need a unique praxis of care to sustain it—and for mission-driven activists, organizers, and changemakers working under oppressive systems, making space to center vital needs like rest, self-care, and healthy boundaries isn’t as simple as clocking out.
