What does it mean to build a culture of liberation?
In this episode, we break down three core principles of liberation culture: building lasting movements, practicing solidarity, and transforming dominant norms. These aren’t abstract ideas—they’re lived, practiced, and deeply interconnected. Together, they shape how we organize, relate, and resist systems of oppression.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in short-term campaigns, transactional coalitions, or organizing spaces that replicate the harms we’re trying to undo, this conversation is for you. We explore what it means to build movements that last, relationships that hold, and cultures that nourish our struggles.
Episode Highlights:
– Why movements must be more than campaigns or projects
– How solidarity becomes real through practice
– The difference between cultural transformation and cultural domination
– What we mean by liberation culture, and how it shows up in our everyday work
