Engaging Dreams of Liberation + Care, Embodying Healing Justice Lineages with DJN’s Care Pod Team
A recent article on the rise of funding for health equity initiatives names the work of our Care Pod collaborators, Denise Shanté Brown, Corina Fadel, and Jody Chan as an example of initiatives designed to sustain the wellbeing of changemakers in social movement spaces. We invite you to recognize their impact with us by tracing the lineages of healing justice work informing our Network’s current care practices and Care Pod experiences.
