Political Healers Digital Issues Summit - August 29 & 30, 2020


Digital Summit 2020 (1).png

Join Political Healers from around the country for a groundbreaking two-day digital issues summit! In the Political Healers Project, we are charged with using our skills and wisdom to center the healing and restoration of our communities through a dedicated, rigorous and heart centered political analysis and organizing practice. Each one of us uses our skills, talents and hard work on and off-stage to create real lasting change, but when push comes to shove, whose work is swept out of the budget and to the sidelines time and time again? We are reclaiming our time, our work and our stories by putting Political Healers front and center throughout our campaigns, actions, strategies and we are demanding that our stories be told. 

Register NOW for this 2-day summit!

In a moment of great crisis and uncertainty in our country, we are called to bring forth our gifts and lean on one other to not just get through, but to thrive and heal. This two-day online issue lab summit will bring language and a larger community for the work that you, yes you!, are already engaged in. Hear from leaders from around the country on how they are building the Political Healers analysis and practice into their issue campaigns and connect with others in your field who are working to build community for our shared liberation.

This is a two-day online summit that will be facilitated through Zoom. We request that you commit to attend for the full two-days — Saturday 8/29 & Sunday 8/30, 2-5:30pm ET, both days. Registration for this summit is $20 to cover the cost of our labor and raise funds for the ongoing work of Political Healers. We will not turn anyone away--please contact us if you are interested in a scholarship or if you are owning class and willing to share resources with the collective.

Grounding in Our Truth: Political Healers at Work 

Within the context of understanding ritual and cultural trauma, Day 1 of the summit will focus on political education and on providing the historical context of issues impacting our communities - from who profits to how communities are impacted, from short-term issue cuts, to long-term strategic reform. 

Sunday, August 30th 2-5:30pm ET

Reclaiming Our Voice: Political Healers in Action 

Day 2 will be contextualized inside of the Political Healers directive on public memory. Public memory is the ways in which society systemically remembers and forgets events. This day of the summit will focus on building narrative skills -- telling the story of self and the story of “we” as they relate to climate equity, healthcare, housing, mass liberation and reproductive justice.
